Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Packing a travel skincare routine can be tricky. On the one hand, you want to address all your regular skincare needs and be prepared for common travel-induced skin stressors such as drying plane cabins or extra time spent outside in the sun. On the other hand, limited luggage real estate and the TSA’s 3-1-1 rule for carrying on liquids will prevent you from piling all your favorite full-size skincare products into your bag. 

When planning a trip, it’s wise to invest in a travel-size skincare set. All the items will already be in TSA-approved containers, so there’s no need for messy transfers into smaller vessels. Buying products as a set also simplifies the shopping process since the products are designed to be used in tandem. And you won’t have to worry about accidentally mixing incompatible skincare ingredients. Just consider testing the products before your trip to make sure any new ingredients don’t irritate your skin.

Keep reading to shop the travel-size skincare sets below, including several that I personally use and love.

Best Overall

Geologie travel skincare set.

It’s a full skincare routine (including SPF) designed by dermatologists.

If you’re new to retinol, spot-test the night cream before applying it all over your face.

Geologie’s sample set includes a full skincare routine without any extra fluff. Start your routine with the 2 percent salicylic acid cleanser, which promises to deeply cleanse your skin, unclog pores, and control excess oil. Next, the eye cream (powered by kojic acid, caffeine, and niacinamide) gently helps to banish any dark circles caused by lack of sleep on your red-eye flight. In the morning, you’ll finish with an SPF 15 niacinamide moisturizer for long-lasting hydration while controlling excess oil and shine. At night, your ritual culminates with a 0.2 percent retinol formula to target fine lines and wrinkles while hyaluronic acid and niacinamide boost hydration. 

Since you’ll be using the cleanser morning and night, the set conveniently includes two tubes so you won’t risk running out. For short trips, you can leave one of the cleansers at home. The unisex set is best suited for oily, combination, or normal skin.  

What’s Inside: Cleanser (2), SPF 15 moisturizer, night cream, eye cream

Best for Oily Skin

Origins 6-piece travel-size cleansing & moisturizing best-sellers set.

Five pore-clearing products are housed in a zippered carrying case.

It includes essential oils, which can irritate sensitive skin.

If you have oily skin, or if you’re overloading your skin sweat and/or makeup, you’ll want a skincare set that deeply cleanses your clogged pores. Origins’ five-step system does just that. It includes a frothy face wash, a soothing treatment lotion, a powerful anti-aging serum, and an oil-free gel moisturizer that won’t leave you feeling greasy. In addition, there’s a rinse-off charcoal mask that can be used once a week (or more, if needed) to purify and visibly reduce pores. There’s even a zippered carrying case included to keep all the items secure. Pro tip: apply the mask on the plane ride home to refresh your post-travel skin and give you an activity to help break up a boring flight. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, mask, treatment lotion, serum, moisturizer, carrying case

Best for Dry Skin

Drunk elephant the littles 7.0 travel skincare set.

The latest version of the fan-favorite set includes a new case and a tinted SPF moisturizer.

Three serums might be too much for skincare minimalists. 

Plane cabins are notorious for drying out your skin, and if your epidermis leans dry to begin with, you’ll want to make sure you’re loaded up on deeply moisturizing skincare products. Drunk Elephant launched the latest version of their fan-favorite Littles kit, and it’s ideal for skin that needs extra quenching. It includes a provitamin B5-infused serum (to be used day and night) designed to flood the skin with intense hydration. Also along for the ride: a vitamin C day serum, a glycolic night serum, a makeup-removing jelly cleanser, a peptide moisturizer, and a sheer, tinted SPF 30 mineral cream that is made to blur imperfections while adding a layer of sun protection. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, moisturizer, tinted face sunscreen, day and night serums (3), carrying case

Best for Combination Skin

Fenty skin travel-size start'r set.

It includes multitasking products that help cut down your skincare haul.

It doesn’t include a non-SPF night cream.

Combination skin requires products that hydrate and nourish the dryer portions of the skin but also don’t exacerbate oiliness in the oily sections. This three-step skincare routine by Fenty Skin is ideal for those with combination skin because it includes products that are moisturizing and oil-free. The cleanser is gentle yet tough enough to eradicate makeup including waterproof mascara. A toner-serum hybrid dubbed Fat Water can tighten the look of pores, brighten, and reduce shine. The last step is a mineral SPF 30 hyaluronic acid moisturizer that won’t leave your skin feeling greasy. As a bonus, there’s also a single-use, sample-size packet of body cream to toss in your toiletry bag .

What’s Inside: Cleanser, toner-serum hybrid, SPF 30 moisturizer, body cream (sample size)

Best for Sensitive Skin

Tula discovery 5-piece essentials kit.

The no-frills skincare products can all be used morning and night.

It doesn’t include SPF.

Tula’s skincare products are powered by probiotic extracts, superfoods, and other ingredients designed to prevent irritating the skin. This travel-friendly set includes a turmeric-infused, makeup-removing gel cleanser, which is perfect for evening skincare routines. Next, a glycolic acid toner exfoliates and hydrates your skin, followed by an illuminating serum featuring Japanese mandarin. The last step is a non-comedogenic squalane-infused moisturizer. Since all the products can be used both day and night, you won’t need to double up on any of your items, ultimately giving you more luggage space. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, carrying case

Best for Acne-prone Skin

Paula's choice mini clear skin starter set.

The set includes salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to fight breakouts.

The active ingredients can irritate sensitive skin.

Traveling can exacerbate acne: air quality, change in humidity levels, and water quality (to name a few) can make your skin upset. If your face is prone to breakouts, consider vacationing with a set designed to stave off pimples, like this one from Paula’s Choice. It includes a salicylic acid cleanser, a two percent salicylic acid exfoliating solution, a two and a half percent benzoyl peroxide spot treatment, and an oil-free gel-cream moisturizer. Just remember that salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can both increase sensitivity to the sun, so it’s important to follow your skincare regimen with SPF 30 or higher (not included in this set) for daytime use. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, exfoliating solution, spot treatment, moisturizer

Best with SPF

Dermstore best of dermstore: the travel edit kit.

It includes a variety of mini products, from cult-favorite under-eye patches to whitening toothpaste.

It’s best for people who enjoy more extensive skincare routines.

No matter where you’re headed, SPF should be a top-tier item on your packing list. This 11-piece collection includes two SPF 30 products to shield your skin from harmful rays: a minty lip balm and a mineral sunscreen. Other delights in the zippered carrying case include a gentle gel cleanser, a brightening eye cream, two nourishing moisturizers, non-aerosol dry shampoo, and whitening toothpaste. For those who don’t mind a few extra steps in their vacation skincare routine, there’s also an exfoliating peel, a retinol serum, and under-eye patches. Travel + Leisure editors are big fans of using under-eye patches on long-hauls flights , so we recommend using those to arrive at your destination looking fresh and feeling hydrated. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, eye cream, two moisturizers, peel pads, retinol serum, sunscreen, lip balm, dry shampoo, under-eye patches, carrying case

Best for Lips

Laneige icons to go set.

The overnight lip mask can be used during the daytime, too.

It doesn’t include a cleanser or SPF.

This set helps deliver a surge of hydration to your skin and lips — which is likely much needed if you’ve just exited the dry atmosphere of a plane cabin. After cleansing, gently pat the ceremide- and peptide-filled cream-toner hybrid into your skin. Follow with the hyaluronic acid moisturizer, and finish with the leave-on water sleeping mask at night. Though the lip balm included in this set is technically an overnight lip mask, many people (including me) multipurpose it for daytime use as well. It’s thick without being sticky, and it has a delicious berry scent. 

What’s Inside: Toner, day moisturizer, lip mask, night moisturizer

Best for Eyes

Kiehl’s on-the-go essentials gift set.

It includes a nourishing and creamy avocado eye treatment.

Retinol (in the serum) can irritate sensitive skin.

Red-eye flights can lead to tired, puffy eyes, but this six-piece set has the perfect antidote: Kiehl’s fan-favorite avocado oil- and shea butter-infused eye cream, which promises to hydrate, depuff, and brighten eyes. Other goodies in this bundle include a foaming squalane cleanser, a potent daily retinol serum, a squalane face moisturizer, and a nighttime face oil that targets wrinkles and fine lines. If your skin tends to get oily or break out, you’ll enjoy the included rinse-off face mask. The Amazonian white clay and aloe mask are designed to minimize pores and blackheads when left on the skin for 10 minutes (per the brand’s instructions). 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, retinol serum, eye cream, mask, moisturizer, face oil

Best for Body

Alo glow system discovery set.

The six-piece set includes both face and body products.

Sunscreen is not included.

If your trip accommodation is not a hotel, you may need to pack your own body wash and lotion. In this case, this face and body set from Alo is a great option. It includes a brightening enzyme facial cleanser, which you’ll follow with an unscented facial moisturizer. For your body routine, there’s a hydrating vitamin C body wash and a destressing superfruit body lotion. There’s also a head-to-toe glow oil, which promises to deeply hydrate the skin and lock in moisture. A magnesium and vitamin C body spray that can relieve muscle tension will come in handy for adventurous types that have an activity-filled trip planned.  

What’s Inside: Face cleanser, face moisturizer, body wash, body lotion, face and body oil, body mist

Tips for Buying Travel-size Skincare Kits

Consider size limitations and quantity.

The TSA limits the amount of liquids, gels, and aerosols that can be stowed in your carry-on to 3.4 ounces apiece. Beyond that, all of your liquids must fit in one quart-sized resealable bag. If you want to travel with more liquids or larger-sized containers, they must be packed in your checked bag . 

When choosing a travel-size skincare kit, consider other liquids that you’ll need to add as well, including (but not limited to) toothpaste, sunscreen, bug spray, shampoo, and conditioner. If you’re having trouble fitting all of your items in a quart-sized bag, consider leaving behind some items (like body wash and shampoo) that are typically made available in hotel bathrooms. 

Choose the best set for your skincare needs

When you travel, it’s important to consider your skin type (normal, oily, combination, or sensitive) and choose a travel-sized skincare set that’s tailored to your skin’s specific needs. You’ll also want to be mindful of your trip destination and any intended activities. For instance, if you’re traveling to a colder climate, be prepared for drier skin and chapped lips. If you’re headed to a beachy location, don’t forget to load up on sunscreen .

Any liquid, gel, or aerosol skincare products in your carry-on or personal item must be 3.4 ounces or less. If you want to carry-on a product that comes in a larger container, consider transferring it to a 3.4-ounce-or-less leak-proof vessel before your flight or packing it in your checked bag. 

The air circulated in plane cabins is very dry, and therefore can leave your skin feeling dry as well. It’s advised to moisturize your face and lips before you board a plane. On long-haul flights, you may want to carry a travel-size moisturizer and lip balm with you to reapply hydration mid-flight.

Holidays are glorious; packing for them, less so. How to distil your extensive skincare routine into a not comically large wash bag, or worse still into a hand-luggage friendly 20cm bag, without the faff of decanting?

These skincare sets from some of our absolute favourite brands contain standout products in mini sizes, and most are comprehensive sets so you won’t even have to think about what you need.

For those with more specific concerns, such as sun damage or dehydrating aeroplane cabins, there are smaller sets with targeted products, too.

Even if you’re not jetting off this year, we’d recommend many of these sets, such as Tata Harper’s or Drunk Elephant’s, as a more affordable way to get acquainted with a new brand.

All of these contain products that are already firm favourites of ours, and we’ve discovered a few new ones too.

You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent .

REN Clean Getaway: £29.75, John Lewis & Partners

Clean getaway is our go-to for a relaxing weekend in the country or a luxury hotel break: it’s the closest thing you’ll get to a spa experience in travel-size minis. The products are all focused on gentle, soothing results, with skincare (cleanser, moisturiser and mask) from REN’s Evercalm range, its & Now To Sleep pillow spray to encourage a good night’s kip, and the energising kelp and magnesium body wash and lotion for your shower come morning.

Drunk Elephant The Littles: £71, Cult Beauty

We’d recommend buying this one even if you’re not planning to leave the house this summer; it’s a brilliant way to discover the best of cult-favourite US brand Drunk Elephant, which has won us over with its no-nasties, effective products and colourful packaging. We’d be hard-pushed to choose our favourites, but B-Hydra intensive hydration serum and C-Firma day cream are both up there.

Patchology On The Fly: £18, Space NK

Patchology’s kit goes one step beyond travel-friendly minis of your usual products with its set of masks specifically designed to ward off parched post-flight skin. With two soothing, moisturising sheet masks (illuminate and hydrate) and two patch masks (eye and lip), there’s everything you need for some serious damage control.

Elemis The Luxury Travel Collection: £65, Elemis

There’s not even any packing required with this set from Elemis, which comes housed in a beautiful wash bag designed by fashion illustrator Megan Morrison. Inside you’ll find seven much-loved products plus a face cloth for proper cleansing. Our favourites are the pro-collagen marine cream and cleansing balm, and the frangipani monoi body cream, all of which we regularly use in full-size too.

Murad Travel Light Travel Bright: £25, Feel Unique

You couldn’t find a much better companion for a sunny break. Murad’s travel light kit contains minis of its Essential-C day moisture SPF 30 – which is hydrating, rich in antioxidants (to protect skin from environmental aggressors) and has all-important sun protection – and its age-spot correcting serum to help improve areas where the damage has already been done.

Omorovicza Mix and Match Travel: From £26, Omorovicza

For a personalised approach, Hungarian luxury skincare brand Omorovicza allows you to choose three travel-size products to suit you (the price varies depending on what you pick). Our dream selection features all our favourites: thermal cleansing balm, copper peel and illuminating moisturiser.

Balance Me Hydrated Skin Set: £15, Balance Me

This, from the natural beauty brand, is a no-fuss solution to both packing and skincare. Its pared-down combination of face wash, eye cream, moisturiser and a refreshing face mist is all you’ll need for a carefree holiday, no thinking required.

Tata Harper Daily Essentials: £65, Cult Beauty

Another great choice to discover the best of a cult US brand, the Daily Essentials set includes some of our Tata favourites, such as the rejuvenating serum and resurfacing mask, all in the same gorgeous, green frosted glass packaging you get with full-size. “Queen of Green”, Tata Harper’s 100 per cent natural and organic line, is much-loved by beauty editors.

Sunday Riley Flash Fix Kit: £28, Cult Beauty

A power pairing of cult products, this duo is all about exfoliating and brightening your skin. Ceramic slip cleanser uses three kinds of clay (of the kind often seen in purifying masks) to draw out excess oil and grime, and has a silky gel texture. Follow it up with exfoliating serum good genes, which uses glycolic acid to dissolve dead skin cells and revive dull skin.

Kate Somerville Face the Glow: £56, Space NK

This radiance-boosting trio would be just as good for someone needing a quick turnaround pre-party season as for getting a summer holiday glow. Containing three products from A-list facialist Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate range – the face wash, quick wash-off exfoliating treatment and AHA moisturiser – it gives soft, bright skin.

The verdict: Travel-sized skincare sets

REN’s ​Clean Getaway is our Best Buy as it contains all the essentials and a little bit of luxury too. For something that is a great introduction to a brand too, we’d pick Elemis’s Travel Collection or Drunk Elephant’s The Littles .

A Guide To The Best Cleansers & Face Washes For Travel

16 nov a guide to the best cleansers & face washes for travel.

It’s important to take the time to properly cleanse your skin at the end of the day especially whilst travelling.

Visiting beautiful, but often polluted, cities or liberally applying sunscreen at the beach exposes your skin to unknown chemicals, dirt and debris that can affect its complexion. Flying can also leave your skin feeling dehydrated, tight and dull.

Cleansing removes these built up impurities that can block your pores and lead to irritated, dry or even acne prone skin.

Whether you are looking for an oil controlling cleanser, a cleanser to reduce your in-flight liquids or just a fuss free way to clean your face, our extensive guide to the best cleansers and face washes for travel has got you covered.

20 Best Travel Size Skincare Products

Mini versions of our favorite skincare products help us maintain a solid skincare regimen while being away from home. These are super useful for transport because of the carry-on limits we often struggle with during traveling.

Micellar water is an amazing product for everyone that doesn’t enjoy using oil cleansers or balms as a first cleanse.

I love using micellar water as a first cleanse because I tend to apply light makeup throughout the day so I find them doing an amazing job in removing my makeup and sunscreen and prepping my skin for the second cleanse.

Here are my favorite travel-sized micellar waters I always carry with me while traveling.

Best for super-sensitive skins, you can’t go wrong with this micellar water by Bioderma. Even though I have oily skin, I tend to gravitate towards this one as it does a great job of removing my makeup and prepping my skin for my second cleanse.

This one is more suitable for oily skin types and I tend to use it when I run out of my Sensibio. It also does a great job of removing my makeup, but it’s not the one I tend to gravitate most towards.

The blue micellar water by Bioderma was my skin savior back when I was struggling with acne breakouts and severely dehydrated skin. I loved it so much, in fact, that it made me try the entire Hydrabio range. It’s excellent for dry and dehydrated skin types.

Best Travel-Size Cleansers

Wherever you are in the world, make sure to always thoroughly cleanse your face before going to bed and get rid of all that daily grime, dust, and pollution instead of taking it to bed with you.

Here are my top cleanser picks in cute travel sizes.

The best possible cleanser you could go for if you have active acne you are trying to banish. It has a gentle and refreshing gel texture and it also contains a small percentage of salicylic acid which is enough not to irritate the skin but clear out congested pores.

I actually have the full-sized version of this cleanser and I enjoy using it daily. It has a foaming texture, isn’t too harsh or stripping and my oily skin seems to enjoy it. Luckily, it also comes in a travel-sized version so, if you’ve been eyeing it for a while, you should give it a try.

This one has quite an interesting texture that turns from gel to cream once you add a little bit of water to it.

It’s a very gentle cleanser, doesn’t leave the skin feeling stripped and tight, and although it’s more intended for dry skin types, my oily-dehydrated skin tends to enjoy it on some days.

Best Travel-Size Face Masks

Let’s get one thing straight: I am not someone who enjoys applying masks for their benefits because the benefits masks offer are quite minimal for several reasons.

First, active ingredients need time to act on the skin, so using a mask for 10-15 minutes is really pointless as this won’t do anything for you besides give you short-term hydration.

Second, if I am not going to be getting the benefits from it, I’d rather invest my money in something that will give me long-term benefits, so using masks is kind of a waste of money for me.

But, every once in a while, I enjoy applying an overnight mask and indulging in that extra morning glow I enjoy seeing in the mirror. So here are my two favorite overnight masks that also come in a travel-sized package.

I know that everyone already raved about this, so there’s nothing new to see here. I like this mask cause it’s lightweight and hydrating, my oily skin doesn’t get extremely greasy but I still get to enjoy that healthy morning glow it gives me.

Here’s another good mask, but I’m sad to say that this one isn’t the right one for me.

I picked it up because it contains Polyhydroxy acids that are even gentler than Alpha hydroxy acids and work to gently buff away the dead skin cells from the surface of your skin while you sleep.

I would strongly recommend this for someone with dry skin because it has some great nourishing ingredients, but oily skin types should definitely stay away from it.

Best Travel-Size Face Mists

Face mists are something I love and incorporate in my skincare routine no matter the time of the year. I like to use face mists in between steps so, for example, I use a cleanser then I mist, I apply a serum and wait until it dries then I mist before applying a moisturizer, and so on.

I find that products absorb much better when the skin is damp and I also get a better payoff from products because, when my skin is damp, I tend to use a lot less product as the wetness allows them to spread easier across my face and neck.

Here are two of my all-time favorite mists I never leave at home while traveling:

Since I started buying this, my husband has been doing my head in for paying money to spray plain water on my face, but hey, I find that it works for me and I just enjoy the feeling of spraying plain water on my face, so what the hell?

This is something I don’t usually recommend for my clients because I typically tend to work with people that have sensitive, acneic skin, and a damaged skin barrier that needs fixing.

It has a strong scent of rose and a bunch of flower extracts, so if that’s something you are sensitive to, it may be best to stay away from it. However, if it doesn’t bother you, feel free to spray away.

Best Travel-Size Exfoliators

Hands down to Paula’s Choice for having the all-time best exfoliators on the skincare market. I don’t see myself moving away from these anytime soon and I cannot recommend them enough.

Best for oily, acne-prone skin types that struggle with blackheads and breakouts. You cannot go wrong with this, however, make sure to try the mini version before buying the full-size and see if BHA exfoliant is what your skin needs.

Do you want a glowy and hydrated skin? You got it. This exfoliant works amazingly well for dehydrated skin types while addressing other important skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, sun-damage, etc.

Best Travel-Size Serums

Luckily, serums usually come in small packages, so I will just go ahead and recommend my all-time favorite serums you can use daily and take anywhere with you.

I also have the full-size version of this serum and I love it. This is just a little something I enjoy carrying around with me whenever I travel and don’t want to bring my entire skincare cabinet.

It is super hydrating and if you have oily skin, I’d much rather recommend you to go with the Omega + Complex serum than the moisturizer with the same name as the moisturizer is significantly thicker and more nourishing than the serum, thus much better for dry skin types.

A great hyaluronic acid serum you can’t go wrong with no matter what skin concern you have.

It works amazingly well with all skin types, however, it knows how to be a little sticky, therefore, make sure to spray a few spritzes of a hydrating mist before applying this serum as it will make it absorb better and you won’t have to deal with the stickiness.

This is my go-to travel product because my skin gets severely dehydrated while I’m on a plane so If I have a long flight ahead of me, I always make sure to have this savior in my bag.

Best Travel-Size Moisturizers

Here are the two moisturizers I’ve been trying out lately, and luckily they both come in cute, travel-sized versions:

I will be writing a full review on this product but, as all of my Paula’s Choice reviews, that one’s gonna be biased as well. I love Paula’s Choice products and I can honestly tell that some of her products saved my dehydrated, acneic skin and gave it a nice and healthy glow.

This moisturizer is super lightweight, you only need a tiny bit of it, and it absorbs quickly into the skin.

I’ve found that whenever I apply a thicker layer of it, it tends to sit on the surface of the skin giving me that greasy layer which I don’t like, so if your skin is on the dry side, something else might be better for you as this one is intended for oily skins.

Yes, I bought this moisturizer because I liked the color of the packaging, so please don’t judge me on that because I ended up liking it. It’s the newest drop by Paula’s Choice that has a smooth gel texture that turns into a cream once applied on the skin.

It’s not giving my oily and acne-prone skin any problems so I am not going to fuss about it and I also think it’s excellent for dry skin types, too.

Best Travel-Size Sunscreens

Sunscreen is something you must do as the last step in your morning routine. I always have sunscreen with me, especially when I travel, and while I always tend to buy full-sized bottles, here are some minis for you to test out if you’re unsure what may be best for you.

Best sunscreen for acne-prone and oily skin types. It has a smooth, slightly matte finish and since it’s made out of chemical sunscreen ingredients , it won’t leave that dreaded white cast on your face after applying it.

Best summer sunscreens for oily skin types. It’s lightweight, invisible once applied to the skin, and it has an SPF of 50. Definitely worth a try.

I didn’t particularly enjoy this sunscreen because it is definitely not intended for oily skin types, however, it has some excellent ingredients that dry skin types might really enjoy.

Luckily I have a husband that has dry skin, so testing different skincare stuff on him always helps me have a perception of who might benefit most from these products.

1 thought on “20 Best Travel Size Skincare Products”

Thank you so much for this! When I travel my one clear plastic bag of liquids is so full of skincare products that it looks like it might burst. And once I wasn’t allowed through security because they said it was over the limit – and I had to leave some of them behind! As you can imagine, it was pretty bad.. I mean, how do you choose?!?!? Anyway, thanks for the post. I can now restock my travel bag and hopefully avoid another embarrassing (and expensive!) incident at security.

If you’re confused about the best travel-friendly face cleanser, here are a few things to consider.

Things to Consider Before Buying Best Travel Size Face Cleansers that Fit in Your Bag

• Ingredients

Choose a travel-friendly face cleanser with natural ingredients that preserves the health of your skin while cleansing well. A face cleanser with ingredients like lactic acid, glycerin, or burberry extract ensures your skin isn’t stripped of its natural oils, and you achieve a smooth texture. In addition, many face cleansers contain aloe vera and green tea extract as antioxidants and keep your skin young. Other natural constituents to consider are lavender oil, shea butter, and salicylic acid.

• Dermatologically Tested

Go for a face cleanser that is dermatologically tested and approved. It should suit your skin without causing undesired side effects such as allergies, rashes, or itching. Dermatologist-tested cleansers are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin, and they maintain your skin’s natural pH.

• No Harsh Chemicals

You use a face cleanser every day. Therefore, ensure that it is free from undesired chemicals and toxic preservatives. Buy a face cleanser that does not contain traces of silicone, sulfate, paraben, phthalate, triclosan, and SLS. These harmful chemicals strip away your skin’s natural moisture and cause premature aging.

• Skin Friendly

Face cleansers should be gentle on the skin and provide a soothing feel. They must clean the pores, dirt, dead skin, and oil buildup to make your face healthy and glowing. They should not leave any unwanted residue or make the skin greasy when washed away. They should be gentle and fragrance-free if you’re allergic. Finally, it should lather well and keep the skin hydrated for a long time.

• Other Features

The best face cleansers are cost-effective, excellent in quality, and provide visible results. In addition, they help to combat skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, and dark spots on your face by keeping the skin clean. Finally, ensure that your face cleansers are non-comedogenic, i.e., they must not clog the pores. This makes the skin dull and gives rise to acne, blackheads, and pimples.

The Bottom Line

Facial cleansing should be a part of your regular skincare routine, and that is why even while you are traveling, you need the best travel-size facial cleanser that can fit inside your bag. The reviewed options in the curated list are organic, enriched with natural ingredients, devoid of synthetic chemicals, and gentle on your skin. The First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser has a gentle, antioxidant-rich formula that removes impurities without drying the skin, the Glow Recipe Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser nourishes and promotes a radiant complexion, and the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser balances the pH levels and improves texture. These facial cleansers not only cleanse your skin but also help remove makeup and provide a fresh boost of hydration. These will easily fit into your travel bag and make your skin feel refreshed and clean while you are on the move.

10 Luxury travel minis to take on your next trip

From shampoo to a beach-inspired scents - you'll want them all....

Although we had all hoped that by the 1st of June 2024, we would have seen the end of the 100ml limit on liquids, it looks like England's main airports won't be scrapping the restrictions until early next year. 

Despite the frustration of being restricted to 100ml or less, there is something so pleasing about getting all your travel-sized faves ready for your trip - as well as the fact it means you can save on valuable space if you're only taking hand luggage . 

More From The June Digital Issue:

Luckily, some of our favourite brands have now entered the world of miniatures so there's no compromising on your usual routine, plus it's a great time to test out some new products before you splurge. 

To save you scrolling, we've shortlisted 10 of the best that you'll find in our carry-ons this summer... 

The Best Luxury Travel Minis:

1 / 10 cécred double cleanse kit double cleanse kit.

Why it's great for travelling:  If you’re doing lots of swimming in salty or chlorinated water this double cleanse trio is a must. It contains the Clarifying & Exfoliating Shampoo as well as the Hydrating Shampoo and a rich conditioner to keep your strands super healthy. 

Editor's notes: As soon as we saw Cécred was launching travel sizes we knew we had to get our hands on them. Not only do they leave your hair feeling silky soft, the scent of the Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, Temple Oud, combines night-blooming jasmine and sandalwood for the ultimate shower experience. 

Bom Dia Bright Clarifying AHA BHA Body Wash

Sol de Janeiro

Why it's great for travelling:  There’s no denying that anything from Sol de Janeiro is literally made for the sunshine. This body wash not only smells like the brand's iconic Cheirosa 40 fragrance, it contains gentle exfoliating acids to keep your skin smooth. 

Editor's notes: A body wash and exfoliator in one - this is a no brainer for me. I struggle with Keratosis Pilaris on my arms so any exfoliating ingredients are always a bonus. Plus, the delicious scent will still be lingering as you dry off on the balcony with a packet of Lays. 

Milk Body Lotion

Why it’s great for travelling: One thing you don’t want when you’re warm is to slather on a super thick, greasy lotion. This one is great as it sinks in really quickly while still hydrating your skin with soothing ingredients like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. 

Editor’s notes:  For some reason a moisturiser is something I always seem to forget but this one is worth remembering. I love that it doesn’t leave any sticky residue and it has a beautifully subtle, clean scent. 

Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid Non-Perfumed Suncream SPF50+

La Roche-Posay

​​​​ Why it’s great for travelling:  This bottle is such a good streamlined shape for travelling, and it’s a classic for a reason. The formula is effective and fast-absorbing, without leaving any sticky residue. This fragrance-free version is great for sensitive skin too. 

Editor’s notes: SPF is one thing I don’t tend to switch around very often and this is one of my favourites. It’s not sticky, doesn’t sting my eyes and it’s water, sweat and sand resistant. Trust me, once you try it you’ll be hooked. 

Beach Walk Eau de Toilette

Why it’s great for travelling: There’s something so charming about these tiny little bottles. This warm floral has notes of bergamot, coconut milk, musk, pink pepper and ylang-ylang. Perfect for summer escapes. 

Editor’s notes: I’m not someone that sticks to one scent day to day and so I love trying a new fragrance when I go on holiday. This one is meant to remind you of a warm beach walk and I can’t get enough. 

Mini Cleansing Heroes

Why it’s great for travelling:  When you're slathering on sunscreen day in day out, a double cleanse can help to really remove any residue from the day. This duo has both an oil cleanser and a cooling gel cleanser, which soothes any sensitivity. 

Editor’s notes: I love a double cleanse and these are the perfect duo to take on holiday as they’re packed with soothing ingredients that are great for calming sun-exposed skin. 

The Dewy Skin Cream

Why it’s great for travelling: Yes, this is a pricey face cream but trying it in travel size is a great way to see if it’s something you want to invest in. It gives skin a gorgeous glow that’ll make your tan pop. 

Editor’s notes: You can’t tell how dinky this is but it really is a mini - in the best way. A little of this rich cream goes a long way and leaves skin feeling super hydrated. 

Why it’s great for travelling: Warmer climes can cause more frizz so a smoothing hair oil is always good to have on hand. This one gives hair a glossy finish, while also providing heat protection.

Editor’s notes: I never go anywhere without hair oil and this dinky size is perfect for on the go and even for carrying in your handbag. I apply it to my hair when it’s damp and leave it to air dry. 

Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Highlighting Fluid

Why it’s great for travelling: An evening essential for bringing a subtle glow to your evening beauty look, this shimmering elixir can be used on face and body to make your tan pop. 

Editor’s notes: If you have any extra space in your liquid pouch, this is a must. Pop it on the high points of your cheeks and your collar bones (even your legs), for a radiant glow. 

Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray

Charlotte Tilbury

Why it’s great for travelling: The perfect mist to stop your make-up sliding off in the heat. This spray is loved by MUA’s including Val Garland and can also be used to prime the skin. 

Editor’s notes: Nothing beats a refreshing mist and this one really stops your makeup from budging. I like to keep it in my bag and sprits throughout the evening to keep things looking fresh. 

How we chose the products:

• Size:  All of these products are under 100ml so they comply with airport standards, but don't compromise on quality. They're all small enough to pop in your hand luggage for a fly-and-flop trip, or to shove in your overnight bag for a city escape. 
• Quality:  Each product has been hand-picked by our Beauty Writer because she has tried it and would take it on holiday herself. All the products chosen work well in warmer climates and will add a touch of luxury to your trip. 

Why you should trust me:
