This COSRX snail mucin all-in-one gel moisturiser which will keep your skin hydrated and soft even when moving through drying climates, different weather zones and the dreaded long haul flight.
Promising review: "I have oily skin and I use this as a night moisturiser with my serums. I wake up with soft skin, no oil or residue. It has no smell. It has a bit of a stickiness that disappears quickly because it sinks straight into the skin. If, like me, you don't kill the snails who eat your plants, then they owe you this in return. A great skin product. And you use such a small amount that it lasts a long time." — CMM1984Buy it from Amazon Australia for $24.

This full-padded toiletry bag that will keep your skincare, fragrances and dental care safe while you're on the move.
Promising review: "It's versatile and I have a couple of them — sometimes it's my makeup bag, sometimes it's for all my hair products. The removable pouch is great and comes in handy when I travel e.g. to put wet swimmers in when I'm on the go! It's also got a nice luxe feel and I feel like a proper adult when I use it." — Sohan JudgeBuy it from July for $95.
This handy pillow that'll keep your neck in the right position when you travel — which means less sore muscles to worry about when you wake up!
Promising review: "I took this neck pillow on the longest flight I've ever been on (10 hours to South Korea). Let me tell you — the moment I put this on, I've never, in my life, fallen asleep faster on a plane. It's perfectly padded and if you're a messy sleeper like myself, the straps that can be fastened onto the seat are a game changer. Despite how cushioned it is, it's perfectly compact and fits easily into my carry on. This is now a non-negotiable travel item for me for sure, no matter the length of the flight or which class I'm in." — Bernice CorralBuy it from Amazon Australia for $38 (RRP $65.99).

This handheld tuuuuuuurbo fan is the gust of fresh air you need on a stinkin' hot day in the sun.
Promising review: "This fan works really well, even the lowest setting is quite strong. The battery life is great, I can leave it running for hours. I like that it's bladeless, so it doesn't get caught on anything. My only gripe is that even on the lowest setting, it is quite audible, but at the price I bought it for and considering its size and power, it's bearable." — HoneyBuy it from Amazon Australia for $17.99.
This Age Defence SPF 50+ by Skinstitut, which makes it easy to stay protected when you're out all day sightseeing, hiking or beach-hopping.
Long days outside can take a toll on your skin — but this broad-spectrum SPF has you covered.

57 Travel Products To Make Hitting The Road (Or Sky Or Tracks) A Bit Easier
A travel brush with a hidden compartment that'll be great for hair elastics, fashion tape, local currency, and all kinds of other little things that don't quite have a place to go in your personal item. ALSO have you tried to use a mini brush to brush your hair? I've broken, like, three of them with my mane. This is also a normal-size brush. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack can work underneath your clothes or as just a regular waist bag. So it's a little go with the flow — within reason. An anti-theft neck wallet that's also RFID-blocking so you'll more easily navigate your cruise-ship excursions without having to keep your hands hovering over your pockets the entire time. Pickpockets exist, and you've gotta be aware of 'em, but let's focus on taking in the sights. A digital luggage scale will make sure that you aren't slammed with an overweight luggage fee (ugh) or having to move stuff from your checked bag to your carry-on to avoid said fee (also, ugh). A set of three Cadence containers that are magnetized and'll stick together in your toiletries bag AND on your metal cruise ship bathroom walls. They're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. They've quickly become one of my packing go-tos. A TSA-friendly toiletries set you can easily fill, clean, and then refill with your go-to regular products. And the bag is sturdy as HECK. Or if you're not in need of containers, a clear TSA-approved toiletry bag to Lego-fit all your liquid and spreadable bbs in there with ease. Some reusable bottle bags because did you even go to the Champagne region if you didn't bring back some goodies? Even better: If your bottle breaks in this, the bag catches the spill! A 2-in-1 travel pillow and blanket in case you've found in-flight options seriously lacking and can't get any shut-eye without a cozy blanket. A Trtl travel pillow that, thanks to its scarf-like construction, you can easily adjust to your perfect comfort level and tilt angle to get some Zzzzzs while someone else gets you to where you're going. (And if you run hot, there's now a ~cool~ version.) A garment and travel bag set can cover you when you've gotta keep your outfit for your college roommate's wedding festivities tidy and wrinkle-free, and you have trust issues with airline baggage checks. It'll easily fold and unfold as you need it. A quick-drying microfiber beach towel built to shake off sand and pack small in your suitcase. No need to sneak out a hotel towel to the beach! A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupuncture point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be great in case anyone gets motion sick in the car or on a boatride. A portable door lock to attach to any regular old door for your hotel, vacation rental, room in a guest house, or, well, just any door. It's super easy to install and won't damage the door. It'll be a comfort for solo travelers, especially. A set of towel clips you'll be grateful you packed once the wind kicks up as you're 20 feet away tossing a football with your pals. (And you can use it to hang up your wet swimsuit after.) A *foldable* wide-brim hat for helping you keep the sun off of your face, make your outfits look even cuter, and easily fit in your carry-on without crushing it. A Baggallini anti-theft travel backpack that'll make it harder for anyone who gets some (illegal) ideas while you're marveling at [insert picturesque view]. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer so you'll have space for all the stuff you take from all the delicious food that sometimes makes you feel bad on your travels. A roomy beach bag with a waterproof section to hold your phone, Kindle, and other items that ABSOLUTELY cannot get wet. A hard-shell roller suitcase with a pocket on the front for your laptop to make getting through the TSA line much more effortless and then resting assured that it's safe in the overhead. Plus! It's equipped with TSA-approved locks! Or a wheeled carry-on bag small enough to qualify as a personal item on super stringent airlines. It can fit underneath an airplane seat! You can avoid checking a bag, glide through security, *and* don't have to hurt your shoulder by carrying a duffel bag that'd also fit strict bag measurement policies. Take that, Spirit Airlines. A pair of quick-dry water shoes can help you traverse nearly every kind of ground you may come upon — whether it's while zip-lining, walking along a rocky beach, or just walking around the cruise ship deck. A fanny pack with a ton of storage room inside that has a long enough strap to wear crossbody *or* comfortably fit over outerwear so you can use your arms to help you balance while teetering toward a glacier. If you plan on wearing it across your chest, attach your waist buckles together with a zip-tie to prevent it from getting unclipped from your back. An *very popular* off-the-shoulder jumpsuit suited for just about any sightseeing needs. But it's also comfy enough to wear while you're getting where you're going. Gentle 2-in-1 travel flossing toothbrushes that'll fold up to half their size (every inch in your luggage counts!) and really get in there to give your mouth a super-clean feeling. Like, just-back-from-the-dentist cleaning. I always pack these for trips and their tiny flossing bristles make my travel nighttime routine a lot easier and more efficient. A portable crib canopy to create a sleep pod for your little one. And it even has pouches for a monitor and fan! Sleeping in unfamiliar places is tough enough for adults. Let's make it easier on the kids too — which in turn will also make the adults happier. A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets in case the thought of putting something else on your skin besides SPF (like smelly bug repellent) sounds like a total nightmare. A portable safe for securing to a pool chair to keep your valuables safe or to keep your passport in your hotel room in case there's no safe or the safe isn't working. A stroller fan with bendable foam legs for wrapping around a stroller, car seat, or pretty much anything to keep your lil' munchkin cool as a cucumber, even when it's a gazillion degrees outside. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense will stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. Toss this in your bag and apply before you go on that long, lovely beach stroll. A CarryAround foldable cup holder you'll think you're a dang genius for buying (and you'd be right) after you easily carry back four beers from the snack bar in one hand. It'd also be smart to pack this for your next all-inclusive vacation. Lumify Eye Drops beloved by the masses who've tried other redness-reducing eye drops before. Yes, these are a bit pricier than other versions. But reviewers say it's totally worth it! Oh, and don't forget that it's also made to help relieve dry eyes. (Just because you TOOK a red eye doesn't mean that you have to put up with literal red eyes.) Some anti-pickpocketing clips that'll easily attach two zippers and make it extra difficult to quickly zip open. An Arden Cover anti-theft *and* waterproof vegan-leather purse that won't *look* like an anti-theft bag — in case that's the reason you don't already own one. Gotta love a bag that'll get you through sudden rain. An Airfly wireless transmitter that'll let you connect your Airpods or any wireless headphones to your airplane without Bluetooth! An Apple AirTag for each bag to give you some peace of mind while you wonder how your checked bag is doing in the hold below. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo to tackle greasy roots without the aerosol or benzene formula. This'll even be easy to take to the bathroom toward the end of a red-eye so you can deboard feeling a bit fresher. A travel scarf with hidden storage in it that'll keep your hands free for taking pics without having to stick your phone, wallet, and keys in your back pocket. A set of compression bags that'll, yes, help you pack more stuff into your suitcase but also keep your clothes airtight against any spills. OR keep your dirty clothes away from your clean clothes and vice-versa. A fold-flat jewelry organizer if you've given up on a blocky jewelry organizer. (Same!) This design will let you easily slip your baubles into your personal item without hogging a bunch of space. A set of cooling patches can work some soothing magic for a variety of uses including (perhaps most importantly), sunburn. But it'll also help with itchiness from bug bites and poison ivy. And! They're TSA-friendly. So you can probably leave your aloe vera gel at home. A portable blackout curtain to suction onto where your staying's window to give you some deep DEEP darkness you need for sleeping. Collapsible travel hangers will help you better organize all your beautiful ensembles *and* have a legit place to hang up any clothes you launder while you're on your luxurious two-week vacation. A 4-in-1 travel adapter that'll work for a wide range of countries because you shouldn't have to google which adapters you need before every international trip. There are better things to do, like talking yourself into packing that one dress you've only worn once but MIGHT wear on this vacation. A simple luggage strap will hold your essentials like a travel pillow, jacket, personal item, and more as you scoot along through the airport and once you land. Here's to quickly gathering all your stuff post-screen and freeing up those hands! A trifold travel wallet so all your important documents are in one place and you're not wearily holding up the line when it comes time to show the TSA agent your passport and boarding pass. A pack of LeakLocks Toiletry Skins you can slip onto the tops of your full-size toiletries because, yay, you don't have to worry about liquid toiletry limits on a road trip! These little things catch any spills before they can get all over your PJs you threw in the same bag with your full-size shampoo. An electronics organizer with a place for just about every one of *your* and every member of your family's devices and corresponding cables so you don't get everything tangled up while searching for that ONE cord. A weighted sleep mask that'll help block out the reading light and/or sunlight from your neighbor's open airplane window shade while you catch up on some of that sleep you sacrificed to get the early flight. Oh, and it's weighted! A soft faux-leather tote will be the perfect personal item on the plane so you don't even have to pack it in your carry-on! And it would be useful as a day bag (of course keep your valuables zipped up concealed and tucked away inside) with plenty of room for your souvenirs. A mini lightweight flat iron to help you get your signature smooth locks, or at least tidy up your blowout you're really banking on lasting for a few days. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds some reviewers compare to AirPods for significantly cheaper. I was able to wear mine comfortably under my bucket hat while I slept on a very rocky bus ride from the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. And while I was out exploring, the charging case easily fit in my coat pocket. A luggage-mounted cup caddy with a pocket for your bagel or croissant (look at you being fancy so early in the morning!) so you can steer your way to your airport gate with your caffeine in tow. A Venus travel razor that'll spare you some precious space in your bag without sacrificing quality. On a recent cruise, it didn't take up too much room on the minuscule shower shelf so I wasn't fighting for space *as* much while feeling like Buddy The Elf in the shower. An airplane seat back organizer because those seat back pockets are NEVER as big as you need them to be. With this, you can actually store your snacks, water bottle, and so much more without having to get up and get stuff out of the overhead throughout your flight. A pack of toilet seat covers can create a (colorful) barrier between your toddler's curious hands and public toilet seats at rest stops. A set of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier packets, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium and vitamin C you can mix into a bottle of water to help speed up your hydration. After all, guzzling water on a flight and then having to spend half the flight in the bathroom line is never fun.

A set of packing cubes to level up your packing game since these keep your items compressed and organized. You can sort them by item or by day — so when you get off the plane and make it to your hotel, you can easily change outfits without cave-diving into your carry-on to find that one cute top! Or, a pack of vacuum-free, space-saving compression bags that come in handy when you're packing for the trip, but come in SUPER handy when you realize you went a little overboard at those local boutiques and are bringing back way more than you packed in the first place. Just zip up your clothes, roll, and watch all the air leave the bags, making sure you can still zip up your roller board! The 4-in-1 Alleyoop Pen Pal, which is basically a cooler makeup version of the classic Bic 4 Color Pen.

A jewelry organizer to prevent your necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings from basically getting into a full-on catfight in your suitcase. This is easy to roll up and a LOT easier to pack than a mini jewelry box. A Kindle Paperwhite because the list of books you want to read is getting larger by the second (thanks a lot, BookTok), but the space in your suitcase for a book is just non-existent.

Reviewers love how the charge lasts for weeks (yes, weeks!) and the optimal warm light feature that's easy on the eyes.

This will gently get your makeup off with just water! And you didn't hear this from me, but this is three times cheaper than the Makeup Eraser! A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charging station that charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. You can stay organized by getting rid of tangled cords *and* the high-quality magnets in the pad make sure your items don't slip away. When folded up, it easily fits into your pocket! Or a braided 4-in-1 fast charging cord to minimize the amount of space your charging cords take up and maximize the amount of devices you can charge at one time. Or a compact, all-in-one international travel adapter if you find yourself taking a multi-country and need something that won't take up a lot of space in your tech bag, but will work for all your bucket-list destinations. Plus, this lets you plug up to seven devices at once! A neck pillow you can stuff with clothing, which many reviewers have said helped them skirt around those strict carry-on restrictions many airlines enforce. Sometimes you gotta work smarter, not harder, to get in those extra vacay outfits, and this thing does just the job! A hanging toiletry bag that proves you can do a carry-on only, but still bring every toiletry you need. This holds so many things, keeps them in one compact place once you unpack, and lets you see everything at a glance!

This five-blade razor saves space and saves you from using those disposable razors that just don't step up to the plate. A refillable travel perfume atomizer so you can take your signature scent on the go and not worry about a floral-scented mess leaking in your entire carry-on! This doesn't require a funnel and simply connects to the nozzle of your perfume bottle for easy refilling.

Any wannabe makeup artists on the go, this one's for you. A lightweight, waterproof raincoat, which surprisingly packs up super duper small, allowing you to reserve most of your carry-on space for your lighter wardrobe. Or, an even smaller portable rain hood if you don't want to even bother with packing a designated rain coat at all. So when Mother Nature tries to pull a fast one on ya, you can be like, "Not today!" A travel version of the popular "flossing" toothbrush with super fine bristles that get into the hard-to-reach crevices, so it'll brush *and* floss at the same time. It folds into itself, and the handle even acts as a cap, so you won't have to go out to buy one before your trip! A 2-in-1 contact and glasses case perfect for those who aren't blessed with 20-20 vision. (Curse you, vision gods!) This allows you to keep your glasses and everything you need for your contacts — a case, contact solution, and rubber-tipped tweezers — in separate compartments but in one place for traveling! A fully tricked-out travel backpack with *brace yourself* two laptop sleeves, a shoe compartment, a "wet bag" for damp clothes, a waterproof interior, and an anti-theft design.

An RFID-blocking wallet designed to hold all of your important travel documents because every time you're at the airport, you swear you'll have your license, passport, and boarding pass easily ready to show and every time you're at the airport you end up fumbling all of those things and holding up the line. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can connect your wireless earbuds to the airplane entertainment system. Watching your favorite shows/movies with clear sound is a heck of a lot better than the static that comes with the junk headphones the airline tries to sell you. A pet backpack with wheels to make getting through the airport with your tiny BFF a more seamless experience. Not to mention, thanks to the compact size, it'll fit comfortably underneath the seat in front of you once you get on the plane, and the mesh window will allow you and the little fluffer to keep an eye on one another.

A travel shawl that can be used as a light blanket to cozy up with on your flight, a scarf in chillier climates, and can even come in handy if you'll be visiting tourist sites with a covered shoulders dress code in place (like European cathedrals). An ultra-supportive neck pillow to make the whole "falling asleep while sitting upright" thing possible (and comfy). Is there any better way to pass the time on a plane, train, or roadtrip than with a nice long nap? I don't think so. A foldable jewelry organizer that'll take up less space in your bag than a clunky jewelry box AND also serves as a better method than just tossing your jewelry into your bag and having to untangle it once you reach your destination. A carry-on case designed to comfortably fit under your seat.

We're leaving those days behind thanks to this genius invention. A compact pill organizer complete with six compartments for keeping your medications separate and preventing you from having to pack multiple pill containers. An inflatable footrest for making your next flight the comfiest one yet. So comfy, you might actually somewhat *enjoy* flying. PS — if you're traveling with kiddos, this can help turn their airplane seat into a bed. A pack of foldable hangers because the five hangers (if that?!) the hotel provides just isn't enough. You shouldn't have to risk getting your favorite blouse all wrinkled up because all the hangers are already being used to hold the dresses you brought. An anti-blister balm to apply before putting on your shoes so you can prevent those painful annoyances from even trying to happen. Whether you're walking miles at a cruise excursion or dashing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, your feet will be happy you prepped them ahead of time. A little white-noise machine because you don't wanna be the person asking the hotel front desk for a room change, but you also reallllly don't wanna be in the hotel room next to the elevator AND the ice machine. A waterproof, satin-lined Hairbrella that'll ensure your hair stays dry on your trip and your hands stay free to hold more important things (like a yummy snack or a fun souvenir).
