Traveling can do a number on your skin. From the dry air of plane cabins to the stress of delays to increased exposure to the elements, a trip away from home is not the time to skimp on your skincare routine.

While picking up certain forgotten toiletries from the hotel gift shop is always an option, experimenting with hotel-brand facial soap bars? Not so much.

On the road, it’s important to give your skin some extra TLC. That’s why packing a good travel-sized skincare kit that satisfies your skin’s needs is crucial. Those with sensitive skin should stay away from cosmetics with any artificial ingredients, regardless of how high-end the packaging seems. The simpler the formula, the better.

If your skin tends to be dry and you plan on soaking up a lot of Vitamin D, chances are it might get even drier post-trip, so make sure to hydrate it well with a good moisturizer and an overnight treatment.

And gentlemen, we haven’t forgotten about you. Hydration is key for anyone with skin.

Below, find the best skincare and shave kits to stock up your Dopp kit before your next vacation.
