Beauty en Route

Figuring out what to pack beauty-wise can be one of the trickiest parts of travel. You really never know what you may need and at what time. Throughout my travels, I have accumulated an array of my favorite travel beauty essentials for almost every hypothetical beauty emergency there may be. Here are a few of my top non-negotiables that are always bound to be in my bag:
Lush massage bars have always been a staple in my routine, traveling or not. But when traveling, they are one of my favorite products to carry for moisturizing my skin. You can purchase a tin at the shop with a bar that fits perfectly in your purse or suitcase. These are ideal for sensitive skin and have the relaxing effect of the massage bar grooves. My personal favorite is the coconut drench for the scent, but there are so many options to choose from. Even one that has magnesium in it for better sleep!

Something to calm frizz after a long flight or after a long day of walking is always something I like to have on hand. However, this can be a tricky one, especially if you don’t want to risk making your hair appear or feel oily. This hair oil by Verb, I can confidently say, does not do that. All it does is smooth your hair out to make it look as if you styled it that day.

If you have oily skin, wear makeup, sweat a lot, or both, this is for you. Blotting sheets are small pieces of thin, layered plant fibers that absorb excess oil from your skin without ruining your makeup. Some of my favorites include the Kiko Milano Sebo Balance Papers, Clean & Clear sheets, and the Boscia blotting sheets. This is amazing for makeup or no makeup as well; it is gentler on the skin and more portable than a powder product.

This on-the-go versatile face mist is ideal for cooling down after running across the airport or rehydrating your face after the flight. It holds a refreshing mineral-water mist that can revive your skin in any travel situation. They have mini bottles that are portable for a day trip or big ones for the long haul!
