Everyone loves Snow! And as soon as November kicks in, so do the winter travel plans. But the constant worry of packing somehow ruins the excitement of winter travel. If you are someone who is constantly stressed about carrying your entire wardrobe around, don’t worry! We will make it easier for you to pack light without compromising on your insulation.
Let’s take a look at the Top 7 must carry winter travel essentials and save them for your next winter trip:
1. Inner Thermals
Inner Thermals are a no-brainer and must have winter essential. Go for light weight, natural fibres like wool and cotton as they trap-in heat better than the synthetic polyester ones.
2. Woolen Flannels or Sweaters
Layer your thermals with a woollen flannel or you can opt for a Winter Sweater for a casual chic look. You can try Merino Wool for their lightweight fabric, antibacterial and moisture-wicking properties (no more worrying about sweating when you are indoors).
3. Puffer Jackets
A good Puffer Jacket does not just insulate you from the harsh winter outside but also adds that oomph factor to your rugged charm. Their lightweight fabric is yet another bonus.
4. Winter Boots
No winter packing is ever complete without winter boots, they allow you to walk on snow without the fear of slipping or getting cold feet. Invest in a good pair if you are a frequent winter traveller or you can also get them on rent these days.
5. Accessories
Never, we repeat never! Let go of the chance to showcase that aloof charm with beanies or hats. You can add in a woollen scarf for a more put-together look. Don’t forget to pack in a pair or two of touchscreen-friendly gloves for the ease of texting and capturing the winter wonders.
6. First-Aid Kit
You can never be too careful when travelling, so it is of utmost importance that you carry a first aid kit containing all the essential medicines like pain-killers, anti-histamines, antacids or motion sickness drugs. Add in a few band-aids or bandages and an antiseptic cream. Don’t let a few scratches get in the way of all the fun.
7. Skin Care Essentials
Your Skincare essentials are as important, if not more, as are your winter clothing items. The harsh, dry winter air can damage your skin so, in addition to packing yourself up with a million layers, give your face and body the love of a good, nourishing moisturiser. You can also try out a revolutionary waterless peel cleanser for getting squeaky clean skin without using any water (sounds too good to be true, right? Well! You get just that and a lot more with White Wolf’s Exfoliating Cleanser).
Pro-Tip: Carry Your Sun Protection with You
Stop questioning yourself and just carry that sun protection with you! Loving the winter Sun does not mean giving up the SPF. Use a sunscreen with SPF 50 and PA+++ to get broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays.
