Whisking yourself away on holiday is nothing short of mood-boosting, that is, aside from the inherent trials and tribulations that are par for the course with travel, like flight delays and lugging your luggage around. There are some travel mishaps, however, that can be entirely mitigated with proper planning. Having one (or more!) of your favorite toiletries confiscated at security for being greater than 3.4oz, or arriving at your destination only to realize you’ve forgotten an essential skincare or haircare product that won’t be easy to duplicate whilst away, need not be part of your holiday itinerary.
The solve? Stock up on all your essentials in travel sizes that can come with you in your carry-on, and keep the army of mini products in their own travel pouch. That way, whether a spontaneous trip arises, or it’s time to head out for the holiday you’ve been planning for months, you’re ready to go without having to worry or really think about it at all.
From all-in-one skincare and haircare kits that take the guesswork out of packing to carry-on friendly SPFs and petite perfumes, the best travel size beauty products will have you ready to enjoy your trip.
The All-In-Ones
Sometimes, it’s easier to invest in a kit that already has everything you could need. Take the thinking out of packing with Aesop’s Arrival Kit, which will ensure a good shower no matter your location or skincare kits from La Mer and Tata Harper, so there’s no stressing over maintaining a skincare routine while away.
The à la Carte
Sometimes, an all-in-one kit isn’t as productive as a personalized selection of the best travel size beauty products . From serums to moisturizers to hand sanitizer and toothpaste, keep these products in a travel pouch so they’re ready to go whenever you are.
The Carry-On Friendly SPFs
No matter where you’re jetting off to, packing a TSA-compliant SPF is essential. Purchasing SPF at your destination is a waste of time (and often a waste of product when having to throw it away on your way home). From tinted, serum-meets-SPF from Ilia to Vogue editor favorite Supergoop!, these travel-ready picks will help you practice safe sun while you’re seeing the sights.
The Hair Care For Everywhere
Counting on a hotel to have hair care products tailored to your specific needs isn’t always foolproof. Instead, keep hairspray, dry shampoo, and conditioner in your kit for good hair days while away.
The Petite Perfumes
Your favorite fragrances need not stay home. These scents will be able to come along with you so you can maintain your signature smell even without checking a bag.
