The best of travel-sized beauty
Ah, packing for a vacation. While some of us may have mastered this art, many others leave this daunting task until the last minute, to only then go into full-blown panic mode when trying to get the job done.
It’s one thing to have to pack enough outfits to make sure you’re appropriately dressed (with backups, of course, just in case you change your mind), but packing for your hair and skin-care needs, too? Ugh. Unfortunately, you can’t always just take your current bath and body favorites (and your entire makeup drawer) with you, especially if you're planning to fly without checking a bag. Never fear, though, we've come up with some great solutions to vacation-packing fatigue, and we're excited to share them with you.
Ahead, 15 of the best travel products and kits that are essential for any vacationer, whether your destination is a tropical beach or the snowiest ski slopes. From after-sun care and humidity-fighting anti-frizz products to multifunctional cosmetics, these are all traveling toiletry must-haves.
