Flying with all your favorite self-care products can be tricky, especially if you’re hoping to pack light or go carry-on only. At Kenvue, we’ve got you covered with products you know and love in travel-size. Here, we’ve put together a list of travel essentials to help you breeze through security with all your favorite products.
Oral care
Maintaining a good oral care routine is a must, even on vacation. Many of your favorite toothpastes come in to-go sizes, as does LISTERINE® antiseptic mouthwash, which is clinically proven to kill 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath, plaque and gingivitis.
For times between brushing, reach for a pocket-size innovation from LISTERINE®: LISTERINE® POCKETPAKS® Oral Care Strips, which instantly dissolve on the tongue, or LISTERINE® POCKETMIST® Oral Care Fresh Breath Spray, a non-aerosol oral mist. Both products also kill 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath, according to laboratory tests, and are available in Cool Mint® and Freshburst® flavors.
Shampoo & conditioner
You could take your chances and use whatever bottles of shampoo and conditioner your hotel or vacation rental stocks in the bathroom, but it could be problematic — especially if you need products for a specific need, like curly or color-treated hair.
The best bet is to play it safe and bring your own, like travel-sized bottles of OGX® Nourishing + Coconut Milk Conditioner. If your favorite hair care products don’t come in travel sizes, consider filling travel-friendly containers instead.
Skin care products
Your skin requires special attention, so it’s worth packing the right products for a luminous glow even while traveling.
For a body lotion in a perfect 2.5-ounce travel size, try Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion with Soothing Oat. This non-greasy, prebiotic oat formula locks in moisture to nourish and help improve skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Need a quick refresher? Portable Clean & Clear® Oil Absorbing Sheets instantly soak up excess oil and remove shine from your face — without smudging makeup or leaving behind powder.
Sun protection
The last thing you want to deal with on a trip where there’s lots of rays is sunburn, so be sure to include sunscreen and lip balm on your packing list.
Make sure your sunscreen description includes “broad spectrum,” like Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Broad Spectrum SPF 45, which means it blocks out both UVA and UVB rays. Aim for an SPF of 30 or above for your face and body, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology, because it can block up to 97% of the sun’s UVB rays.
If you prefer a mineral sunscreen, try Neutrogena® Purescreen+™ Mineral Beach Defense™ On-The-Go Body Stick Sunscreen SPF 50. This stick format sunscreen means you don’t have to worry about packing another liquid, plus it glides on easily and stays in place.
And don’t forget about your lips! The Neutrogena® Revitalizing Lip Balm SPF 20 has a slight tint, but also an exclusive ion2 complex® and SPF to moisturize and help protect your lips from the sun and damage.
Over-the-counter medicines & first aid
You never know what can happen on a trip, so packing a few all-purpose first aid items and medicines is a great idea — especially given the inflated costs you’ll often find in a hotel or airport.
Think about basic pain relievers and heartburn support, like Pepcid Complete® On-The-Go Chewable Tablets with Famotidine & Antacids and Tylenol® Extra Strength Dissolve Packs, which dissolve on your tongue, meaning no water required.
For those nicks and cuts that can happen at any time, add a travel pack of BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages Flexible Fabric for comfortable protection that stays on all day.
