With the arrival of warmer weather and summer getaways, the toiletry bag becomes your best ally. In the recent Traveler article "The Essential Toiletry Bag: From Naomi Watts' Hot Mature Look to Dolce & Gabbana's Refreshing Pop-Up" (July 3, 2025), Clara Laguna suggests the must-haves of the moment. Here we present an optimized version, highlighting the essentials for taking care of your digestive health and skin well-being , with special attention to probiotics , a must-have when traveling this summer!
1. 🌿 Probiotics: key allies for your vacation
-
They strengthen intestinal health during times of change: When traveling, our schedules, meals, and environment change, which can negatively affect our intestinal flora. Probiotics help maintain balance and prevent digestive discomfort such as bloating, diarrhea, or constipation.
-
They strengthen your immune system when you're exposed to new environments (hotels, airplanes, beaches). A balanced gut is key to a more effective immune response.
-
Skin benefits : Healthy flora promotes skin that is more resistant to the sun, salt, and pollution—recurring themes in Traveler 's recommended products.
👉 APIH Tip : Include a probiotic supplement in capsule or sachet form (easy to carry) in your toiletries bag. Take it a week before traveling and continue throughout your trip to maintain a balanced microbiota.
2. Sun protection with antioxidants
The article highlights options like Elizabeth Arden Hydraplay Daily Defense SPF 40 , which protects against UVA/UVB rays and is anti-pollution . When traveling, combine this sunscreen with good moisturizer and probiotics: the synergy improves your skin from the inside out.
3. Selective hydration: oils and creams
Products like Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse or Aqua Allegoria Rosa Verde by Guerlain provide hydration and comfort in several key areas: face, hands, and body. Don't forget that well-hydrated skin better retains the benefits of a healthy microbiome.
4. Versatile products for traveling light
The article mentions compact fashion cosmetics and practical travel kits. This fits with our recommendation: choose travel-sized formats (less than 100 ml), organized in waterproof toiletry bags (ideal for separating wet and dry items) and easy to get through security.
📌 Your ideal summer checklist (APHI version):
| Category | Key product | APIH Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Probiotics | Capsule/Sachet Supplement (per travel size) | Balanced microbiota, strong immune system and healthy skin |
| Sunscreen | Hydraplay Daily Defense SPF 40 | Sun protection + antioxidants |
| Facial/body moisturizer | Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, Guerlain hand cream | Deep nutrition and care in one step |
| Travel toiletry bag | Compact, waterproof, <100 ml | Practical, complies with air safety |
In summary
In the summer and while traveling, we prioritize comprehensive care : sun protection, effective hydration, and digestive balance . Probiotics become a fundamental resource for your well-being, especially if you change your environment. Incorporating them into your routine will help you enjoy a healthy and energetic vacation.
