Don’t hesitate to pack your liquid travel toiletries. There are some oils that are a MUST-have, not only during winter but throughout the year. Few drops of tea-tree oil or jojoba oil can go a long way on dry hair and skin.
Argan Oil is highly recommended, as it helps to repair the hair and soothes the skin due to its rich content of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and omega-6 fatty acids. Also, it eases inflammation and razor cuts which make it very beneficial for men to calm their skin after shaving their face.
And just in case, keep all the oil-based products in a sealed plastic bag to prevent any leakage problem.

The face carries the most sensitive skin of your body and it is more exposed to the snow and the harsh weather, so packing a face cream is a MUST!
These toiletries protect the face completely from wind burn and general flaking, especially if you don’t use makeup. We highly recommend using First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer, it is rich in vitamins and helps calm, nourish, and soothe dry and distressed skin.
People who don’t really use makeup should try face creams with some added sun protection like Yes to Grapefruit Correct & Repair with SPF 15 that brightens and moisturizes the face.

Due to the dry air that mostly exists in cold places, you may experience some nasal problems and eyes dryness, especially if you wear contacts. To protect yourself from these uncomfortable issues, pack saline-based products and make sure they are travel-size, like small bottles of eye drops.
Saline Nasal Spray is a good toiletry for traveling, it helps to cleanse the nasal passages, and also Contact Solution for people who wear contacts, this product cleans contact and fights germs so you can wear contact lenses with confidence.

#5 – Shower Moisturizer

After every shower, use odor-free body moisturizers to prevent dry and cracked skin. The cold makes us use hot water more often, but this causes our skin to lose most of its oils that prevent dryness. By adding an unscented body moisturizer, the skin gains back what it lost to keep its natural glow.
We highly recommend using a travel-sized tube of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion, it moisturizes the skin for 24 hours and it contains soothing oatmeal. Also, this product may be needed during the long plane travels for your dry hands.

Sun protectors are needed even in the snowiest places because the sun can reach your skin cells even behind grey clouds. Don’t hesitate to pack a travel size sun protector, remember that your face’s health and beauty always come first.
We choose for you Tarte’s Amazonian Clay BB Cream with SPF 20, it’s very affordable and one of the best on the market. It is oil-free and manages to protect, treat, and brighten your face. And most importantly, it is available in a travel-friendly size.

#7 – Warm Accessories

To protect your body completely from any damage, you must start wearing more accessories that will prevent the dry weather from touching your skin. If this step was ignored, all the creams and oils in the world won’t work.
We suggest adding Land’s End to your chart, not only it protects your hands but it is also Smartphone-friendly, you don’t have to take it off every time you need to take a picture. We also advise using hats or thick scarves to protect the hair from getting frizzy and decrease the possibility of getting split ends.
