As packing for air travel is getting slightly trickier, many brands are coming up with ready-made solutions. Cake Beauty, specializing in hair and body products, has theirs.

Plane Friendly Travel Kit is ideal for a short weekend trip when you want to fit everything into the carry-on. It includes two bath/shower creams, two body lotions, and one hand lotion, specifically:

–Milk Made Velveteen Hand Cream
–Desserted Island Supremely Rich Bath and Shower Froth
–Desserted Island Supreme Body Mousse
–It’s a Slice Supremely Rich Bath and Shower Froth
–It’s a Slice Supreme Body Mousse
(All 66ml)
–Transparent toiletry bag (17cm x 12.5cm x 3cm, the paper fitting can be removed for total transparency)

Scent-wise:
Milk Made Velveteen Hand Cream: vanilla and milk
Desserted Island: vanilla and coconut
It’s a Slice: vanilla and orange

My favorites are the two bottles of Bath and Shower Froth. Drying shower products make my skin itch, and these certainly don’t. They both have a warm and comforting dessert-y smell. Also, the two body lotions leave the skin continuously moisturized, with long-lasting scents.

Apart from the Plane Friendly Travel Kit, Satin Sugar Hair & Body Refreshing Powder (50g) also joins the Cake Beauty line-up.

(Satin Sugar Hair & Body Refreshing Powder)

It is a talc-free (corn and silica based) powder with a vanilla scent. There are two versions: one for lighter and one for darker skin-tones (Refreshing Powder for Darker Hues).

The velvety powder is great for a quick freshen-up, especially in hot and humid weather. Used with a fluffy bronzing brush, the one for darker hues can also add a kiss of sun for lighter skin-tones.

They are actually quite handy when traveling as well!

For me, handcare is almost as important as skincare. I am quite obsessed with keeping my hands clean, but, with all the washing, they can often feel dry and tight.

Gloves In A Bottle, as the name suggests, moisturizes and protects hands. According to their website, it is “a shielding lotion that rapidly absorbs into, and bonds with, the outer layer of skin creating a protective layer while retaining the natural moisture from within“.

One of the good aspects of this product is that the ingredient list is short and simple, which is great for people with sensitive skin or with skin conditions. There is no fragrance or skin irritants like certain types of essential oils. (Apart from what is listed on the website, the ingredient list on the bottle also lists M&F paraben (a preservative) as an ingredient.)

It is an effective moisturizer for the hands. Light and non-greasy, it is suitable for repeated uses during daytime (no slippery fingers). I actually use it more as a body moisturizer, as I personally prefer my hand cream to be slightly more emollient, especially for the last application before bed.

It can also be used on the face as a light-weight moisturizer.

If you have very sensitive skin (face or body), this straight-forward no-fuss lotion might be something you want to try.
