How to Maintain Your Beauty Routine While Traveling 

By Alayah Brantley and Mehrien Sultana

It's officially summertime! The sun is out, your bags are packed, and adventure is calling! Summer vacations are for adventure, not for spending hours perfecting your look. This summer season, we're ditching the complicated routines and embracing a more travel-friendly beauty regime. Get ready for hacks, tips, and product picks that will keep you looking fresh and fabulous, all without sacrificing precious vacation time. So buckle up (or grab that pool float!), because we're about to show you how to maintain your beauty routine while traveling, without a single ounce of stress!

TRAVEL-FRIENDLY BEAUTY TIPS

Dehydration is a traveler's worst enemy, wreaking havoc on your skin and leaving you looking dull. But lugging around your entire skincare routine is a recipe for disaster. Here's where travel-sized heroes come in! 

Clear cosmetic bottle spilling out

If you prefer high-end skincare products, consider Tatcha's mini-size The Dewy Skin Cream ($23). This luxurious moisturizer delivers a serious moisture punch, leaving your skin plump and radiant. This moisturizer is also infused with Japanese purple rice; which also helps with fine lines and wrinkles. A single application is all it takes, and the TSA-approved size ensures it fits perfectly in your carry-on. 

On a budget? Not to worry. Drugstore favorite Neutrogena's travel-size Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer ($13) offers fantastic value for how much it cost. This lightweight, fragrance-free formula absorbs quickly and delivers long-lasting hydration without breaking the bank. Plus, the travel-sized version easily tucks into your cosmetic bag, keeping your skin happy and healthy wherever your adventures take you!

Compact Tools/Products:  

When it comes to traveling, it's all about conserving space! Pack travel-sized versions of your favorite tools, such as mini hair straighteners or travel-friendly makeup brushes and leave the full-sized tools behind. Check out the travel sections of any major retailers to find travel-sized toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and more. For more specific items like styling tools or accessories, look online or in specialty beauty stores. Look for items that maintain functionality with creative, compact designs. 

Most makeup and hygiene brands carry travel-sized versions of their products. Like compact tools, travel-sized makeup products can be found online or in the travel sections of major retailers. They will ensure space efficiency and ease of travel through airport security. Some of our favorite travel-sized products are... 

Batiste Dry Shampoo

This product not only refreshes oily hair but also adds volume to flat hair. It is especially helpful when you don’t have access to a shower or shampoo. 

Lume Natural Deodorant

This natural deodorant is not only effective but can also be used all over the body; which can help with chafing that can occur while walking everywhere on vacation.

Hero Cosmetics Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must in your daily routine, especially while traveling. While flying, you are more susceptible to sun damage because you are above certain protective ozone layers. This sunscreen by Hero Cosmetics is moisturizing yet non-greasy and protects your skin without weighing it down.

Snail Mucin

This viral K-Beauty product helps to lock in moisture. Air filters and air conditioning on planes, cars, and trains can dehydrate the skin, so it is important to lock in moisture before and during travel.

Semi-Permanent Makeup

Ditch the brow pencils and mascara wands on your next trip! Imagine waking up with perfectly defined brows and naturally darkened lashes, all without the hassle of daily makeup application. This translates to more time for exploring and less time getting ready. Godefroy's Instant Eyebrow Tint Kit is perfect for on-the-go tinting. The mess-free bottles and sachets are compact and TSA-friendly, easily fitting into your smallest makeup bag. Plus, the tinting process itself takes just minutes, allowing you to achieve flawless brows even mid-flight or on a car ride. You can also use Godefroy's tint on your lashes, creating a naturally defined look that eliminates the need for mascara. So, ditch the bulky makeup bag and embrace the freedom of semi-permanent makeup for your summer vacation.

Simple Routines

Say goodbye to your multi-step glamour routine! While traveling, make sure to have a go-to natural makeup look in your beauty repertoire. Remember to be mindful of various liquid policies at global airports and the size of your luggage. Unfortunately, this means you can't pack everything from your vanity. Choosing your can't-live-without products and leaving the rest behind will prove beneficial while traveling. And remember that your daily activities on vacation, whether that's hiking, swimming, or skiing, might benefit from less makeup, especially if you are traveling to a warmer climate. A simplified beauty routine will prove beneficial while traveling!
