Beauty tips: Keep your skin and hair looking good while you're on the road

ether you’re flying across the globe or road tripping on the Pacific Coast Highway, there are ways to keep yourself free of droopy eyes and sunburns while keeping your hair perfectly coifed and your face glowing on the go.

Staying gorgeous on the road comes down to making smart choices before your trip while you’re grabbing supplies at the drugstore or your favorite beauty counter.

If you’re flying, your beauty options don’t have to be diminished because of Transportation Security Administration rules. (Your creams, potions and lotions just have to be 3.4 ounces or less.) After all, you’re allowed to bring a quart-sized bag containing liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag in travel-size containers.

And if you’re in a hot car for hours, remember to leave the easy-to-melt beauty items at home and look for creams and oils that are more durable in the season’s hot weather.

Sephora, Target, Ulta and individual brands offer unique, TSA-friendly mini products ranging from basic brands to luxury finds. No matter where you’re headed this spring and summer, there are good workarounds for being on the road, such as solid perfumes and haircare products available at Lush; specialty beauty wipes such as Savvy Travelers face cleaner/moisturizer; and multi-use makeup products including Nudestix sculpting and lip/cheek pencils, Tarte Cosmetics’ Double Duty Beauty collection and Nars Cosmetics’ Multiple makeup sticks.

"I love traveling with kits and palettes," says Los Angeles-based celebrity makeup artist Jenn Streicher. "They can come premade, but I love making my own. I most recently made a beautiful palette with several of the new Laura Mercier lipsticks. It’s nice to have a lot of variety in one package. MAC offers good magnetic customizable palettes."

For skincare do-it-yourself kits, the Container Store has a good range of chemical bisphenol A-free Nalgene leak-proof bottles and jars as well as other TSA-friendly containers. Here are other product worth packing for your getaway.
