Traveling is fun, but packing a suitcase is not. I’ve been traveling consistently all through my 20’s, typically 2-3 times a month for either work or pleasure. Since I just returned home today from 4 days of work travel, I wanted to share some of my recommendations for my favorite travel beauty products perfect for carry-on sized luggage.
HAIR CARE
Air travel wrecks havoc on my hair, but these 5 products are amazing for keeping my hair fresh after a long flight.
Living Proof has some of THE best hair products out there and I cannot live without their Perfect hair Day dry shampoo and shampoo. Living Proof has completely transformed my damaged hair after I didn’t take care of it in college, and I would highly recommend to anyone. The brand has tons of travel-sized individual products and sets online, and the sizes are large enough to last me several weeks.
Briogeo also has incredible hair care products, and one of my favorites is the leave-in conditioning spray. I actually have the full size bottle at home and this travel version is easy to refill, so I can just add more product when I need it.
Last but not least, I travel with 2 drybar products, both the sea salt spray for texture and the replenishing conditioner. I would also highly recommend their ceramic round brush, paddle brush, and hair clips for styling.
SKIN CARE
It’s no secret that flying does horrid things to your skin, so I pack my suitcase with all of the essentials. Many of these products I received through purchasing a deluxe sample set from the Sephora Favorites collection, which I highly recommend if you would like to try luxury items in a mini size before taking the plunge on a full size.
My favorite skin care product for years has been the IT Cosmetics Miracle Water. This anti-aging micellar cleansing water helps get rid of every ounce of make up, and also boosts radiance and brightens skin.
Additional skin care products that I would not leave at home include an eye cream, everyday moisturizer, lip balm, face wash, charcoal mask, and facial peel. The best part about having all of these items in travel size is that I’m able to store them in my suitcase for when I need them for my next trip and it saves SO much time during packing.
TRAVEL CASES
If you haven’t heard of Cuyana, run don’t walk to their website for the best monogram leather travel accessories out there. I accidentally asked both my husband and mother-in-law for the same blush colored travel set for Christmas, and I ended up with 2! It actually works out perfectly because the rectangle shape makes them very easy to pack in my carry-on, as they fit right next to each other. I would also highly recommend the leather jewelry case, passport case, and classic structured tote as well.
Hope you all have a fabulous week!
xoxo,
Trish
