The last thing you have time for before a vacation is a day at the spa. Maybe you get your nails done and your hair cut, but what about the rest of you? And what types of on-the-go products can you tuck in your travel bag that 1) Don’t set off security warnings and 2) Keep you in tip-top beauty shape when you’re on-the-go? We’ve got the scoop right here as featured on ABC-15’s Sonoran Living.
Before you Go
Home exfoliation is essential to shedding that layer of dull, patchy dead skin cells and preparing your skin for sun, surf and sundresses. Try these:
- Olay Daily Purifying Body Wash with Sea Salts & Microbeads, $7.99
- L’Occitane Crushed-Grape Polish, $26
- Cosmedicine Medi-morphosis Self Adjusting Exfoliator, $42
Tip: Start exfoliation a month before you go, up to 3 days per week to bring new skin to the surface.
Build your starter tan with these three time-effective sunless bronzers:
- Olay Body Touch of Sun Overnight Night-time Body Lotion, $7.99
- Tantowel Plus Towelettes, $24
- Fusion Beauty GlowFusion AirGlow Tinted Protein Tan Misting System, $175
Tip: Experiment with your tanning product ahead of time to create the look you want.
While you’re Traveling
Avoid spillage and the “mystery goo” phenomenon with travel-ready skin products. Look for TSA-friendly (3 ounce or smaller containers) in single-use treatment packets and mini sizes that you can tuck in your cosmetic bag:

- DDF RMX Essential Single-Use Anti-Aging Treatments, $200
- Cosmedicine Starter Set: Basic Skin Health, $48
- Sephora minis: Bliss Lemon + Sage Butter to Go, Frederic Fekkai Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner to Go, Too Faced Lash Injection Mini, $8.50-$12 at Sephora.
Tip: Tuck an acne spot treatment in your bag for humid-climate breakouts and a mini bottle of nail polish for chips.
