Tropical Vacation Travel List
Traveling to a tropical country? Since I live in one, I have a good handle on what you'll need!
Tropical Vacation Skin Care
The tropical sun is HARSH on your skin, so stay gorgeous with these skin care items. Stay safe out there! If you purchase from any of my favorite links, I receive a small commission.
I LOVE this sunscreen, because it doesn't make you greasy or shiny or streaky. Keep sunburn at bay!
If you don't want to rub sunscreen on, then I recommend this spray, since it's EASY to apply. Also, water resistant so you can hit the beach.
Make sure you have at least two lip hydration products if you're going to a tropical country. Your lips WILL chap otherwise!
Take along some basic lip balms to keep on hand to prevent dry lips.
Your skin is about to be battered by high heat, different humidity levels, and other environmental issues. This is a good, basic moisturizer to keep your skin nice and happy.
For the guys, this is a great option for facial moisturizing. It's non-greasy and easy to use.
You can't go wrong with this body lotion and it will keep your entire body happy while you enjoy your vacation.
This stuff is amazing. You need to bring it.
Tropical Vacation Essentials
DO NOT go on a vacation to a tropical location without these absolute necessities.
No one likes to use bug spray, but if you're in an area where mosquitoes carry dengue and malaria, you really do need it.
I really hate bug spray, but this stuff really works to keep mosquitoes away, which prevents tropical diseases.
These aren't the prettiest, but if you are going to be out on the water, they offer the best all-round protection.
Polarized sunglasses are perfect for warding off that tropical sun!
Oops, got a bug bite? Ease the itch with this handy bite relief stick.
Weird as it looks, this tool pulls venom out of a bug bite to ease the irritation. I use it in combination with the bug bite relief.
Best Tropical Footwear
It's not all about the flipflops, here's the real deal for tropical vacation footwear.
Skip cutting yourself on a shell or sea urching and use water shoes instead! They're fast drying and comfy.
These shoes are great for hiking, but also dry off really quickly, so they work well for tropical countries.
Stay Healthy Essentials
Traveling in a foreign country can wreak havoc on your health, so make sure you stay nice and healthy and happy with these useful products.
These are a great option if you prefer to avoid medications, but get seasick or carsick while traveling.
When in doubt, use these handy pills to keep nausea at bay. Not just for traveling, but if you ate something off.
Take these supplements before and during your tropical vacation to help your immune system work better.
Dealing with Montazuma's revenge is never fun, but especially not while you're traveling. Take along something to help with potential diarrhea!
Constipation is also common for travelers, so consider bringing along something to help you out if needed.
Don't forget the pain relief! You're bound to have some aches and pains or minor injuries while exploring.
Activated charcoal is a must-have for when you eat something that may not have been completely safe. It's bound to happen, so prevent problems with this stuff.
These are the best bandaids around, since they're fabric and stay on even if they get wet.
Tiny, but mighty. This is a good alternative to buying all the odds and ends for your safety.
