Beauty On-The-Go: Travel-Friendly Skincare & TSA-Approved Favorites

Spring and summer travel is calling — and whether you're jet-setting to a tropical escape, heading on a European adventure, or planning a simple weekend getaway, packing smart is the ultimate beauty power move. This season, streamline your skincare with TSA-approved products that deliver real results — all under 3.4 oz.

From eye-opening solutions to glow-boosting sunscreens, we’ve curated the ultimate guide to travel-friendly skincare that slips easily into your carry-on and your fast-paced routine.

Awaken Your Eyes: Upneeq® Eye Drops

Meet your new travel essential: Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1% — the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drop for adults with low-lying eyelids (acquired ptosis)

With just one drop per affected eye, once daily, Upneeq lifts the upper eyelids in as little as 5 minutes and results can last up to 8 hours. It's a fast-acting, visible solution to tired-looking eyes — no surgery, no downtime.

Why it belongs in your travel bag:


  • Comes in individually sealed daily packets — easy to toss in your purse or beach tote

  • Keeps you looking refreshed and energized, even after red-eyes or long road trips

  • Seamlessly fits into your morning routine before sightseeing or lounging poolside

Say goodbye to droopy, sleepy lids and hello to refreshed, lifted eyelids—wherever your passport takes you.

Latisse®: Lush Lashes in a Small Package

Small in size, big on impact. Latisse® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) is a powerful addition to your routine, helping you achieve longer, fuller, darker lashes — no extensions or falsies needed. It's an FDA-approved treatment that delivers noticeable results with daily use.

Why it travels well:


  • Packaged in a compact kit with sterile, single-use applicators

  • Easily stashed in your beauty bag and requires just a few seconds each night to apply

  • Ditch the mascara while still flaunting naturally lush lashes

Even while traveling, consistency pays off — and Latisse makes it effortless.
