Current FAA restrictions allow travelers to carry on a single 1-gallon sized plastic zip top bag with no individual product larger than 3.4 oz. Save room for the must-have liquids, like toothpaste, foundation or hairspray, with these smart substitutions.
1. Hair Styling Products for Travel

These Ted Gibson Hair Sheets towelettes contain amino acids to refresh styles on the go. Simply smooth the sheet lightly all over hair to absorb odor and revive your style. If your coif needs an extra boost, after applying the product blow out your hair with the hotel’s blow dryer.
2. Face Wash and Moisturizer for Travel

Skip the foaming liquid soaps and opt for a towelette, like this MD Skincare EZ4U 4-in-1 Facial Treatment. It cleanses, balances, treats and moisturizes in one easy step. Great to stash in your gym bag, too. Note: If your skin is dry, this won’t have enough moisturizing oomph for you.
3. Sun Block for Travel

A sample-size bottle of sunblock will hardly get you through a weekend at the beach, but if you wait to buy it at your resort, you may have to pay an exorbitant markup. A better solution is to use a mineral sunblock, like Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral Powder SPF 45. It’s a powder that you brush on for easy, instant sun block.
4. Anti-Bacterial Wipes for Travel
Planes can be a scary place these days. Instead of a spray, try these Wet Ones Anti-Bacterial Wipes in a handy 15-wipe travel pack. They kill 99.9 percent of germs and can be used to wipe down surfaces and spills, even to remove makeup in a pinch.
5. Mositurizer for Travel

Instead of a liquid moisturizing lotion that may leak all over your bag, opt for a balm, like this Boots Original Beauty Formula Skin Balm. It’s a soothing, thick cream that can be used everywhere from dry hands to parched lips. Good for sunburns, too!
