Our Favorite TSA-Approved Beauty PicksThe dreaded 3.4 oz. liquid rule doesn't keep us from traveling with carry-on gems |
4 of 6
This is an amazing moisturizer that multi-tasks. Not only does it quench super-dry skin (which always happens after I fly), but it also doubles as a night cream and eye cream thanks to the vitamins C, A, E, and D at work to speed cell renewal and repair signs of aging.
2. Simple Facial Cleansing Wipes, $5
I keep these stashed in my suitcase so I know I won't forget them. Since it's not a liquid, it doesn't take up space in your quart-size TSA-approved bag. Plus, these take off eye makeup -- even waterproof!
3. Own Dual Protecting Day Lotion, $22
This is the perfect sunscreen -- I use it on my face and my body and it doesn't leave a gross, white film or sunscreen-y smell. In fact, I usually keep it in my purse once I get to my destination so I can reapply if I'm outside all day.
4. AG Hair Cosmetics Hydr8 Argan Hand Moisturizer, $8
The best thing about this moisturizer is that it's actually light enough to use as a body lotion. I've even used it on my face in a pinch. It's amazingly hydrating.
5. Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Suspicious, $28
Nothing says 'I'm on vacation' like a great red nail polish, and this one's my favorite. I usually get a mani/pedi before I take off, but since bright reds are so noticeable when they chip, I stash a bottle in my carry-on for touch-ups.

Nice article, but the general ideas are more useful than the actual products listed: buy travel versions of your favorite products, switch to solid versions if you can (lip balm, moisturizing balms, solid perfumes). I get so many samples from my subscriptions that I just sort them out into categories (body lotion, face wash, etc) and then pick out a few to use on my trip. They're so tiny that they usually only hold a few days' worth of product, so I can throw them out before my trip home.

I think this is really useful when I'm not in the mood to subdivide all my stuff for travel.

Love this for the upcoming vacation season! I have so many samples from the boxes I receive so I am ready to go somewhere and use my travel products.

I thought that nail polish is not allowed on-board because it's flammable.

The only info useful to me in this article is about the moist wipes. I manage easily by substituting non-liquids wherever possible (solid deodorant, concealer balm), and putting necessary liquids into travel bottles or buying travel sizes.

interesting to see what "must-haves" ladies choose for travel. Aren't aerosols (like dry shampoo) and flammables (like nail polish) prohibited in hand luggage?
