Summer holidays are go- but which travel tribe do you belong to? You can tell a lot about someone from the contents of their tray at airport security. Take the wellness warrior- easily spotted from a mile off with their perfectly curated line-up of collagen sachets, matcha powder and that sleep mist they swear by for long-haul flights. Then there’s the skincare savant, armed with balm cleansers, sheet masks, and enough facial tech to rival a Harley Street clinic. And let’s not forget the Birkenstock-clad bougie backpacker- as fancy as she is practical (designer deodorant, anyone?) And a moment for the fragrance fiend, the make-up maximalist and the mane masetro, who don't do things by half, either. Which of our six Grazia travel tribes will you fall in to?
