To Stay Camera Ready
When you're busy ducking in and out of museums in Florence or hiking in Patagonia, powder touch-ups probably aren't top of mind. But who wants to look shiny in that honeymoon Facebook album? Instead of stashing a compact in your purse, bring a packet of oil-absorbing sheets. They're light and small, and a few blots will leave your face matte and iPhone-ready.

To Have a Week of Good Hair Days
Not to sound dramatic, but deciding which of your abundant styling products to pack for a week away can feel a little like "Sophie's Choice." Though we're huge fans of texture spray...and shine serums...and hair spray, we'd like to make a case for curl or wave cream.
If you're vacationing somewhere warm and humid, you may not feel the urge to blow-dry -- and even if you do, would you want to rely on dinky hotel hair-dryers? Not to mention, the more time you spend styling your hair, the less time you have for other activities (wink, wink). Instead, work on mastering perfect air-dried hair.
After gently toweling off your hair, add a little bit of your curl cream. It'll stop your hair from getting poufy and it'll enhance your hair's natural wave. Just make sure you don't pick one that requires heat to work (duh).

To Keep Your Mani-Pedi Looking Fresh
Chances are, you're not honeymooning anywhere without getting all of your nails done in advance (and we don't blame you). What you can't control is what happens post mani-pedi. To prevent chipping, swipe on a fresh coat of clear polish every three days. This will also keep your toenails from losing their luster after you spend a day frolicking in the sand.

To Meet All (er, Most) of Your Skin Needs With One Bottle
We are kind of obsessed with micellar water - -and who could fault us? This French import, which is an oil-water hybrid, is the ultimate multitasking beauty product. It deftly removes makeup, can serve as a cleanser when you're tired or time-crunched, doubles as a toner and also leaves your face feeling hydrated. Très bien.

To Look as Radiant as You Feel
Honeymoons seem glamorous, but in reality they can put your skin through a lot. Not only are you likely exposing your face to extreme weather, but you're probably spending at least a few hours in the recirculated air of a plane. A hydrating face mask comes in handy because you can use it during your flight (people who stare are just jealous), or as a quick pick-me-up when you're recovering from your red-eye or too much sun. Bonus: Face masks always feel luxurious and indulgent, and if you can't treat yourself on your honeymoon, when can you?
