There are plenty of potential holiday stressors, but a compromised beauty routine doesn’t have to be one. If you’re traveling for the season — be it to a luxurious destination or simply back home — make sure you’re stocked with products that won’t get confiscated at TSA (under 3.4 ounces!). Below, seven Best Travel Sized Beauty Products to gift yourself so that you don’t have to rely on hotel samples (or whichever cleanser was last left in the guestroom shower).
Best Travel Sized Beauty Products

- A groundbreaking, anti-aging eye treatment
- Formulated with firming agents to minimize appearance of fine lines
Fear not, multi-maskers. The Peter Thomas Roth® Mask Frenzy ($75) makes it easy to pack more than one mask — so you don’t have to choose between a formula that both clarifies and hydrates skin. Don’t miss the spicy Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, which is sure to get you in the mood for Thanksgiving desserts

Once you’ve smelled any of the Sol De Janeiro® products, it’s practically impossible to forget the brand’s signature notes of warm, sophisticated caramel and nutty pistachio. This Bum Bum Carnaval Extravaganza Set ($59) whittles the brand’s shower cream and Bum Bum Cream down to miniature proportions — and throws in the new hand cream and fragrance mist to boot.
