Thanks to the TSA's insistence on punishing keeping us safe from dangerous amounts of lotions and potions, deciding which beauty products to cram into that darn ZipLock bag always stresses me out before I fly. Here are a few great products that have earned their frequent flyer miles and will keep you TSA compliant.
Yes to Blueberries Daily Repairing Moisturizer with SPF 30
$19.99
Don't let the silly name fool you - Yes to Blueberries delivers serious results. This affordable moisturizer has completely exceeded my expectations - it is gentle yet leaves your face hydrated and protected from the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Unlike most moisturizers with SPF, Yes To Blueberries imparts the skin with a natural matte finish, no greasy shine. It also has some anti-aging benefits - the blueberries help fight external skin damage and the organic cotton thistle boosts natural collagen production. Moisture, sun protection, and anti-aging - Yes to Blueberries has hit the travel trifecta with this product!
Schick Intuition Razor with Renewing Moisture
$9.99 at Drugstore.com
No need take up space in your bag with shaving cream - this ingenious little razor is encased in a Skin Conditioning Solid that lathers, shaves and moisturizes. I tried the pleasantly scented Renewing Moisture with pomegranate extract and loved the results. The Intuition has 4 blades and a pivoting head that follows your contours for a silky smooth shave. Very affordable at $9.99, each pack contains 2 refill cartridges, shower hanger and travel cap. Also available in Advanced Moisture with Shea Butter, Sensitive Care with Aloe and Vitamin E, and Soothing Moisture with Milk and Honey.
Laura Mercier HydraTint SPF 15
$20
This portable product keeps your lips moist, protected from the sun, and enhanced with a subtle hint of color. Another added benefit - it is formulated with breath-freshening mint and orange.
Oscar Blandi Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray
$11 at 3flOz.com
No water around to freshen up your tresses? No worries, just spritz on this innovative dry shampoo from hair guru Oscar Blandi. It sprays on clear but uses gentle starches to absorb oil and product build-up while protecting hair with Vitamin E and wheat.
