When packing, it can be quite easy to forget essential items to bring with you. On the same token, it can be incredibly difficult to remember essential things even when you’ve thought you already packed everything. In this article, we will list 5 different items for your toileties that are, in our opinion, essential (and often forgotten) for your travel adventure.
First Aid Kit
While traveling, you can never prepare enough for ‘what-if’ scenarios, and one of the best ways to protect yourself against these moments is by having a first aid kit available at all times. Look for kits that include band-aids, hand sanitizer, as well as single-use moisturizer/ointment packets. These are likely the things you will need the most, and they’re often small enough to simply fit inside your carry-on.
Travel-size Body Wash
You may find yourself in a situation where you do not have immediate access to body wash to clean yourself with. While hotels and lodgings will often have wash for you to use, it’s always a good idea to bring a backup just in case, especially if you have any allergies or skin sensitivities. With this in mind, we would recommend bringing a travel-sized container of your ideal body wash. You can buy small cartridges that are airplane and TSA-friendly at your local store or chain store (such as Target).
Perfume Oil
Perfume may be one of those things you are more than willing to leave at home while you’re traveling. However, a little can go a long way. Including a roll-on perfume in your bag is a smart choice because they are super easy to travel with. With the liquid amount being more than enough to satisfy TSA requirements, you can easily include this item in your luggage. You can even find half-ounce bottles, so there is even less likelihood that your perfume will accidentally open and coat your luggage in a lovely scent.
Tea tree essential oil
Tea tree essential oil is really a versatile hero while you’re traveling. This is great for acne breakouts, dry skin, or any other problems that may require its attention. While traveling, it is quite easy for dry skin breakouts to occur, and this can be your salvation. Just keep in mind that these are used for external use only — so don’t eat it! Plus, if you get motion sickness (on airplanes, cars, or otherwise) this could be your best friend.
Tweezers
Tweezers are perhaps one of the most oft-forgotten travel items that people don’t consider. Yes, rogue eyebrow hairs will still occur thousands of miles away from your home, just like it does now. Bringing a pair of tweezers will help combat that at any location. It’s easy to forget stray hairs while getting ready, something that only a hotel bathroom mirror with ultra-intense lighting will spot.
