Miniature products have become an avid traveller’s best friend. These compact versions of toiletries and cosmetics are perfect for carrying in your carry-on luggage, ensuring you’re always prepared for your next adventure. From shampoo and conditioner to face wash and moisturiser, miniature products allow you to pack light while still maintaining your daily routine. They are especially handy for frequent travelers who want to avoid the hassle of checking in luggage or dealing with liquid restrictions. Additionally, the miniatures are also ideal for trying out new brands or products without committing to full-sized versions. It’s a great way to experiment with different fragrances, skincare routines, or makeup looks without breaking the bank. These travel-sized versions of popular products make it easier than ever to find the perfect miniatures for your next trip. If you’re heading off on a weekend getaway or a long-haul flight, miniature products are a must-have! Check out our guide to perfect travel minis for the upcoming holiday season travel.

SPF minis

Sunscreen is one of the most essential products during your outdoor adventures. A travel-sized sunscreen is handy, which you can keep in your cabin or handbag while travelling.  If you don’t like too heavy and greasy formulas, then try a Glow Recipe Watermelon Niacinamide Sunscreen stick or a lighter fluid formula mini such as Mecca Cosmetica SPF Brightening Sun screen.

Travel-size makeup minis

Why carry your full-size make-up when you can look as precious with their minis when out and about. These small-sized makeup products not only make it handier to carry but also ideal in terms of luggage weight limitations. Pick more solid formulas such as Merit Flush Balm or Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer mini for shiny cheeks or eyes. Dolce & Gabbana Eye Dare You eyes and cheek palette will make your look even perfect.

Fragrance minis

Avoid packing your heavy glass perfume bottles, when you can pick a smaller, more handy and light version of your favourite fragrance. Opt for Marc Jacobs Daisy drops, just twist and squeeze onto your biodegradable capsule and apply. Or keep Hermes Exclusive Nomad set of 4 Garden perfumes for extra options to go with your mood.

Skin care minis set

Follow your daily skin care routine without worrying about packing your full-size products on your wanderlust. Just pick a skin care miniature set that will suffice all your skin needs. These kits include all essential products that seamlessly complement one another and are designed to take very little space in your luggage. Charlotte’s Magic Gift of Skin revival limited edition skin care has all the products that you might need for flawless skin. You can also go for Clinique men skin care minis for your better half.

Body care minis

 Just like skin care, your body care is also essential, especially if you have a sensitive skin type. With travel size body care products with you, skip the hotel lotions  and toiletries and use your preferred products with all goodness. Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum set has all the essentials packed in its own bag to hydrate skin. Neom’s minis super shower set also provides the nourishment required for everyday use.

“2024 is the year to heal”. If this sounds like your New Year resolution too, I found the perfect match for the budding wellness traveller in you—The Zulal Wellness Resort. 

If your soul yearns for an escape that transcends superficial indulgence, look no further than Zulal Wellness Resort, the first of its kind in Qatar. This haven proved to be just the right choice for kick-starting a holistic journey. How exactly? Let’s take an imaginary tour of what Zulal Wellness offered during the trip.

When I arrived at the resort, the hues that met my eyes resonated with peace. The azure blues of the ocean blending with the cobalt of the clear sky and the different subtle shades of white were what I woke up to every morning. The secluded private location of the resort at the northernmost tip of Qatar is conveniently accessible from the capital city, Doha, at a 1.5-hour drive distance.

The 2,80,000 sq.m. premise is distributed into two:

• ‘Zulal Discovery’ focuses on family wellness and activities for all age groups.
• ‘Zulal Serenity’ for guests aged 16 and above. 

What caught my attention as soon as I entered the resort was the Qatari architecture painted in serene earth tones and shades of desert. Moreover, my choosing Zulal was primarily based on their concept of melding ancient TAIM (Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine) with modern healthcare practices and healing techniques. 

My stay began with a health and wellness consultation followed by a brief outline of the journey to rejuvenation. As per the package chosen and your needs, Zulal offers tailored therapies and personalised treatment programs: these range from a full-body Tadleek massage to their signature Al Qadam foot massage to facilities like the Himalayan salt room and Hammam. 

Unwinding has never been more wholesome, especially when the different treatments were complemented with nutritious, lip-smacking cuisines. The culinary pleasantries took me by surprise. The platter was a balanced mix of calculated calories, nutrients, and flavours. The Asian-inspired meals, fine-dine Acacia’s tasty retreats, and Mediterranean dishes added just the spice to the whole experience. 

On the one hand, experts worked their magic helping me de-stress; on the other hand, beach walks, sunset sky, activities like planting mangrove seedlings or kayaking, and spending time by the resort’s mangrove deck all helped me reconnect with nature. The environment here is designed to let you slow down, and indeed I did pace down. 

While watching the sky change from blue to orange to purple and then spotted with stars, letting the waves brush my feet on the beach while feeling the wholesomeness of the food and giving in to the taps of various ancient techniques, I slowed down and underwent genuine healing. After spending a marvellous four days, I can vouch that if you seek physiotherapy, holistic health, nutrition guidance, aesthetic beauty, and a sanctuary that harnesses the power of nature to heal truly, Zulal Wellness Resort is the place to be.
