Egyptian singer and songwriter Lara Scandar leads a jet-set life thanks to her work, so the Star Academy alumni surely knows a thing or two about packing smartly and with style? We quizzed the 27-year-old on her holiday essentials, most beloved destinations, and top traveling tips, ready to inspire your summer vacation…

What are your favorite holiday destinations?
Italy, anywhere in Italy! I loved Japan and I only got to do Tokyo and Kyoto, so I’d love to go back and explore more. I also love any travel destination with a rich history. It’s always exciting!

What are the three beauty products you always pack?
My Bioderma Sensibio makeup remover, Dior Hydra Life moisturizer and my Mizon Snail Serum. Those are just three out of the hundreds of facial items I pack when I travel.

What else do you always take in your suitcase?
I always take sheet masks, just in case I need that extra boost for my skin. I also keep them refrigerated once I get to my destination.

What are your in-flight beauty essentials?
I have a little flight kit that I can’t leave home without. It consists of facial wipes, aqua spray, and a moisturizer. I also make sure to drink lots of water. The longer the flight, the more products I pack.

What do you wear for traveling?
It depends on the duration of the flight. I usually like to travel comfortably so I barely wear jeans unless it’s one of those one-hour flights. I usually opt for comfortable track pants and a T-shirt. I always take a jacket because I freeze on planes.

What outfits will you be packing for your summer vacation?
My summer vacations this year are all by the sea, so it’s beachy and fresh, with lots of swimsuits and dresses. I love wearing dresses in the summer.

What are your top tips for dressing in the heat?
I learnt from my mom to always carry water facial spray around. It comes in handy with the heat.

What books will you be reading this summer?
I’m currently reading A Woman of Cairo by Noel Barber. I like light reads for the summer.

What music will you be listening to this summer?
Everything and anything. Music has no season.

What has been your favorite ever holiday?
It’s a tie between my honeymoon (we went to Seychelles, Bali and Japan) and a cruise I took with parents years ago. We explored so many beautiful destinations I’ll never forget, and got to meet so many interesting people.
