Every seasoned traveler knows a jet set lifestyle is not without its wear and tear. As we delve into the holiday season, I know many of us will be traveling far and wide to spend time with our friends and families. As travel season peaks, don’t let it wear on you. Travel comfortably and arrive looking refreshed with these 10 travel essentials.
10 Versatile Travel Essentials
1. Moisturizer – Travel tends to dry out your skin because of the locked cabin and recycled air conditions. Carrying a travel sized moisturizer with you will help your skin look healthier and refreshed.
2. Face Spray – Replenish any lost moisture with a spritz of mineral water. Travel-friendly sizes are easy to tote around and will make your skin appear revitalized.
3. Mouth Wash – Stash a tiny bottle of mouth wash in your carry-on for a quick rinse before landing. If you can’t get that through security, a mouthwash strip will do just as well for fresh breath.
4. Makeup Palette – Touching up before arriving is easy with a makeup palette. Rather than juggling a few loose items, opt for a one-stop solution like this Motives In the Nude Kit.
5. Hand Wipes – After touching so many shared public surfaces, you’ll definitely want to wipe your hands free of any potential germs and viruses. Keep a pack of sanitizing hand wipes nearby for you and anyone you’re traveling with to make sure it’s a healthy trip.
6. Deodorant – Always reapply after a long journey! Make sure to choose a travel sized deodorant for your kit.
7. Bottle of Water – It’s crucial to stay hydrated while traveling. Pick up a bottle on the plane or on the way in and keep a good few sips for the end of the journey.
8. Book or Magazine – A little light reading makes the time pass more quickly and pleasantly. Pick up a book or magazine to page through.
9. Comfy Throw – It can get chilly on the plane, so stashing a throw in your carry-on will make napping that much more pleasant. Roll it up to use it as a pillow or drape it over your shoulders at an angle for a more fashionable approach.
10. Scarf or Hair Tie – There’s something refreshing about pulling your hair up and away from your face. Keep a hair tie or scarf handy for impromptu up-dos.
