Holiday Beauty What the Experts Pack Kathy Phillips

Having spent years jet-setting the globe on business, Kathy Phillips, former Vogue UK Beauty & Health Director, and founder of This Works and Good Works, has travel packing down to an art. But what makes the grade when it comes to her beauty bag? She shares her secrets with Boots.com.

Favourite summer holiday destination

We have a tiny beach house in the Caribbean. It's a five minute ferry ride from the airport so we're off the plane and in the house in no time. We only have bicycles there and it's very quiet and slow.

Beauty products I won't leave without

1. La Roche Posay Anthelios 50+ SPF and a hat. I don't go in the sun.
2. This Works Dry Leg Oil. I use it everywhere.
3. From Good Works I take the small size Good Intentions Hand Cream tube and the Good Kissing Lip Balm.

Surviving the flight

1. The This Works Survive Box was invented because I do so much travelling. And the product sizes mean I can take them onto the plane with no problem.


2. I always take "Breathe In" (part of the Survive Box. It's vital to help fend off germs in the atmosphere (with antiseptic eucalyptus and ravensara). It's also always in my handbag. Put it on a tissue, roll it under your nose, on glands etc. (Luckily people in the next seat always love the smell).


3. I always have Quick Spritz (also part of the This Works Survive Box) for my face, which has lots of glycerine and sodium PCA (a hydrating agent) so keeps moisture IN the skin, unlike water sprays which are drying. Then a bit of This Works Tired Eye Serum and some saline eye drops as my eyes get dry. Everyone needs a really efficient moisturiser on planes.

My top holiday beauty tips

1. Don't sit in the sun between 11-3
2. Don't sit in the sun between 11-3 and
3. Don't sit in the Sun between 11-3.
