The TSA may have us on lockdown, limiting our carry-on beauty items to just 100ml versions of our favourites, but luckily, beauty brands are making top skin care, hair and makeup essentials in travel-friendly—and affordable—sizes to keep you luxuriously primped, pampered and put-together wherever you are. Vogue rounds up 14 for you to carry with you on your next adventure.
The Double Duty Mask
Whether your flight is 12 hours or two, the Glamglow Dualcleanse Mask will help you deep clean impacted pores. A trademarked four-clay blend helps balance your skin's PH and detoxify it while purifying astringents and non-greasy oils keep the skin hydrated and velvety soft.
The Nourishing Hair Cream
Potent frizz-fighting molecules in the Living proof No-Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream helps tame tresses by sealing the hair cuticle and weightlessly blocking humidity. So whether you're spending spring in New York or Kuala Lumpur (both cities known for stuffy, hot summers) you can tame your hair and keep it feeling cleaner, longer.
The Charcoal Blotters
There's no better way to unclog pores and take away excess oil than a blotting sheet. The Boscia Charcoal Blotting Papers are compact and paper-thin, and help remove the extra sebum from the face before applying makeup. What makes these stand out are the charcoal-infused sheets that add an extra purifying factor to steep out the ick and tighten.
The Moisturizing Face Spray
Restore the dewy glow that's sucked from your pores (thanks to drying air conditioning and heat) with La Roche Posay Eau Thermale Spring Water Spray. Sets makeup nicely, too.
The Cream Cleanser
The key to efficient cleansing is a good exfoliator. We love the Clinique 7-Day Scrub Cream Rinse Off. Turning over the skin's top layer rids you of the flakiness and roughness that causes you to look like you've flown thousands of miles. Even if you have, no one needs to know by just looking at you. Buff on and make way for smooth skin.
The Botanical Face Oil
Bus to train, train to place: A great way to nourish the skin after hours of travel time is with oil. The Aesop Fabulous Face Oil is packed with skin-feeding nutrients and replenishes lost moisture in skin.
The Long-Lasting Manicure
There's nothing that takes a pair of tired-looking hands from blah to beautiful than a gorgeous manicure. For a DIY mani that lasts, try the Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Duo gel-base duo of polishes—a longwear, healthy alternative to the gel manicure. Best part? It dries in a snap and is removable with any ordinary polish remover.
The Dream Hand Cream
Our hands show the first signs of ageing, so take care of them no matter where you are in the world, with the L’Occitane Shea Butter Whipped Hand cream. Sold every three seconds around the world, this best-seller penetrates dry skin by nourishing with honey, almond extract and coconut oil and a blend of rich Shea Butter.
The Vitamin-Packed Face Wipe
Boost radiance with the Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths. The vitamin-packed wet cloths sweep away oil and dirt without a sink in sight. While, Vitamin C and Coq10 repair the damage, black currant oil adds the moisture you've lost in a single swipe.
The Mini Flat Iron
Smooth out frazzled ends and add bounce and curl to tresses that have been maxed out by mileage. The T3 Single-Pass Compact Iron mini flat iron has all of the heat of the regular-sized heat tool but is the perfect size to tuck away in your carry on for airport bathroom touch ups.
The Flawless Powder Foundation
We all want a little bit of makeup on when we travel to help us feel put together but no one wants a caked-on face. The Urban Decay NAKED Ultra Definition Powder fills the checkboxes on our list: it gives flawless, weightless coverage, comes in five sublime sheer colours and when we’re all done it tucks nicely into your minimal makeup case.
The Calming Skin Kit
Red-eye or no red eye, stay zen while in flight with the Dermalogica Ultracalming Travel Kit that covers all of your skincare bases while keeping you calm, so you can carry on with your day while looking like not a single thing is going wrong with your travels.
The Brightening Eye Pads
Look like you've slept for 12 hours instead of just flying that long. Enriching ingredients in the The Face Shop Eye Pads Collagen Eye Patches help to tighten and de-puff the delicate skin around the eyes and help circulate extra fluids under the eyes out and away from your peepers. Paper-thin packaging makes it a cinch to put in your beauty case.
The Hair Powder
Feel like an artist on-the-go while applying this Shu Uemura Art of Hair Volumizing Powder to your roots and allowing the powder to soak up excess oil and refresh your tired tresses. Add bounce and shine with just a few swipes and feel more voluminous in an instant.
