With the current pandemic situation still playing out right before our eyes, many of us have given up hoping that we can travel out of the country anytime soon. Luckily, many hotels in Singapore offer a myriad of promotions for us to have staycations where we can spend some quality time with our loved ones!

Since it’s been so long since we last packed a luggage, let’s dive into a list of essential items that you have to bring along for your next staycation so that you can stay fabulous on your staycay!

Staycation Checklist

Sunscreen

A staycation is a great opportunity for you to break from your daily routines of work or school. You can wake up a little later, hang out for a couple more hours than usual, and indulge a little more during mealtimes. However, the regular application of sunscreen is not something that you can do away with, even while you are on a break.

In bright and sunny Singapore, you need to protect your face and any other exposed skin from the sun’s rays, both UVA – the ones that age you – and UVB – the ones that burn you. Even if you are going to spend your day shopping indoors you are still exposed to those UVA rays! So, never risk it by skipping this step of your skincare routine.

For an effective daily sunscreen, we recommend Derma E All Sport Performance Face Sunscreen for its broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with water resistance up to 80 minutes!

Hydrating Mist

Let’s admit it, half of our staycation is spent taking beautiful photos with our loved ones so that we can always have wonderful memories to look back on. To be photo-ready all the time, consider including a hydrating mist in your packing list.

Besides, a good hydrating mist will be packed with all things that help provide an instant soothing and cooling effect on your complexion. They are the perfect pick-me-up for you to awaken, rehydrate, cool, and refresh your skin all day long.

For a hydrating mist packed with skin-loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Rosewater, and Coconut water, consider Derma E Hydrating Mist.

Face Mask

Today, when we hear about face masks, we automatically think of the face masks that we wear daily to protect us against germs and viruses. While they are indeed important and essential to pack for a staycation, the face mask that we mention here refers to the masks you use as part of your skin-care routine!

A large part of a relaxing staycation is being able to spend more time on self-care and jump back into the skin-care routine that you may have been neglecting due to a lack of time.  The right face mask can help hydrate skin, remove excess oils and help improve the appearance of your pores. They’re also an excellent way for you to exfoliate and purge your pores of toxins.

For a gentle detoxifying mask that deeply detoxifies skin of harmful micropollutants, we recommend Derma E Purifying 2-In-1 Charcoal Mask.

Health Supplements

The last thing you want is to fall sick during your staycation. However, many times, we tend to overindulge during our staycation. We may also take the chance to hang out with our friends for a late-night catch-up session during a staycation.

Simply put, during our break from work or school, we may unintentionally neglect our health! Therefore, health supplements such as vitamins are great to help your body fight off viruses during your well-deserved break.

Vitamin C effervescent tablets are a convenient (just dissolve it in water!) way for you to boost your immune system and keep your health a top priority. They can help protect the body against infections and improve your body’s natural defenses so that your body can fight off viruses that may cause harm to your health.

For a natural, sugar-free option, consider Oz Health Vitamin C+ Effervescent Tabs!

Staying Safe and Healthy

As the year draws to an end, many of us are taking the time to rest and spend quality time with our loved ones. For a safe, healthy, and fabulous staycation remember to pack these essential items to take with you!
