Packing your skincare travel kit? No need to worry about the luggage weight restrictions. We’ll teach you!
This skincare travel kit is about to become your new best friend. You’re going to wonder how you survived all these years without it! Check out our tips below.
Not to mention, if you’re only taking a carry-on case, federal regulations state that you can’t travel with anything that’s over 100ml — which is very limited in the beauty world! We’ve all been there for those heartbreaking moments when your precious perfume or expensive face cream is tossed in the trash in front of you at the security line.
And then, there’s the fact that it can just be a big old pain to be burdened down with a whole stash of beauty products, especially when it comes to shorter vacations, work, or times when you have to take multiple flights.
Allow us to present the smarter guide to packing your skincare essentials and makeup musts, you can thank us later!
Shop for products that do more than just one thing. Case in point: a lip and cheek tint instead of a lipstick and blush, a tinted SPF that acts as sunblock and foundation, and a two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. Talk about more bang for your buck! Similarly, try to avoid packing all of your tools. Surely there’s one makeup brush that can be a multitasker for a few days, and you probably don’t need to take all of your hair tools either.
Reduce both your loot and your carbon footprint by opting for products that require no packaging at all. Think shampoo, conditioner, cleanser, or body moisturizer that comes in eco-friendly bar soap-like format. A game-changer for when it comes to saving space!
It goes without saying that TSA-approved versions of your favorite products are the perfect way to bring your non-negotiables without taking up half of your suitcase. Did you know there are even websites, like Caileur, that offer only travel-friendly versions of luxury and name-brand hair, skin, and sun protection products? Stock up on your go-tos now!
In most drug stores, you’ll find handy plastic containers that allow you to dole out smaller amounts of your trusty favorites. Alternatively, you could also make use of things you already have lying around at home, like contact lens cases, sauce ramekins, or ziplock bags.
Particularly if you’re a frequent flier, it’s great to have your travel beauty routine whittled down to a T. One way to do this is to have a designated travel beauty kit or bag set aside that’s always stocked with the pared-back routine essentials. This saves both time and money, as you’re less likely to end up rushing to the nearest pharmacy upon landing to buy something you’ve forgotten. It also stops you from last-minute overpacking as you’ll be confident that you have what you absolutely need.
Next time you’re buying a full-size product, ask if you can take home some samples too. Most beauty counters will oblige and having some backup mini versions is ideal ahead of your next trip.
