Winter Essentials
Be prepared for winter weather. Your suitcase won’t be ready without adding some skincare essentials. Don’t forget lip balm and moisturizing cream for the face and body. You could also opt for solid shampoo and conditioner to avoid traveling with liquids.
Here are a few options for keeping your skin glowing despite the cold weather.
Insulated Clothes
Animal materials have been long used to keep humans warm for a very long time. Today, these materials are still used and often mixed with synthetic fabrics. Whenever you’re going to buy winter clothes, check the list of materials in the piece to find out whether it contains animal fabric or not. Some textiles that are not vegan are wool, alpaca, leather, down, and angora. Here is a list that mentions others. Always look for synthetic insulation because there’s a big possibility it will be vegan.
There are plenty of jackets, hiking boots for men and women made with this technology and you will be warm and comfy. There are also many vegan materials that aid in insulation.
We would like to mention that if you already have items that are not necessary vegan don’t go crazy tossing those to buy some new vegan ones. You already have them and if they are in good condition the planet will give you loving thanks if you can avoid creating more trash, especially if it comes from an animal.
We hope these tips have been useful! Happy travels!
