How do you travel with skincare?

Traveling with skincare can be streamlined with a few expert tips for maintaining your routine without overpacking:

1. Use Travel Sizes: Both Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir recommend utilizing travel-sized versions of your favorite products. This helps in packing light while keeping your skincare routine intact. They also suggest purchasing travel-size items of essential products you cannot decant easily 1.

2. Decant When Possible: For products that aren't available in travel sizes, decanting into small containers is a handy solution. However, be cautious as some products can spill during travel. Having a collection of empty plastic containers for this purpose can be very helpful 1.

3. Sample Packs as Treats: Kate Spencer suggests investing in sample-sized products that you actually enjoy using, rather than just using random samples you have lying around. This makes travel skincare feel less like a chore and more like a treat 2.

4. Essential Products Only: When going on trips, especially longer or backpacking trips, pare down to the essentials. Kate Spencer emphasizes bringing minimal items like sunscreen and a basic moisturizer, especially for trips where packing light is crucial 3.

5. Special Travel Items: Consider unique travel items such as a travel humidifier to maintain skin hydration, especially if you're traveling to places with dry climate 1 2.

6. Packable and Biodegradable: For trips like backpacking, ensuring your products are biodegradable and packable is key. Sunscreen is a top priority, and products should be fragrance-free to avoid attracting wildlife 3.

By focusing on these key strategies, you can maintain your skincare routine efficiently while traveling.
