Packing toiletries for travel is my LEAST FAVORITE thing when it comes to getting ready for a trip. It can’t really be done ahead of time, and I loathe re-filling mini containers of creams, gels, and such. (Although these containers make things just a little easier). I’ve simplified things even more by putting together this simple travel toiletries packing list. It’s got everything you need for your next trip!
Below, I’ve included links to my favorite travel toiletry products, as well as a few of my very best secrets when it comes to packing travel toiletries. I hope this travel toiletries packing list makes packing for your next trip just a little bit easier!
Travel toiletries packing list
Travel Toiletries: Hair
When it comes to hair essentials for travel, I try to keep it simple. One way I do this (confession time) is by not washing my hair a whole lot while I’m traveling. Judge if you must…but I just can’t stand hotel hair dryers.

Instead, I pack a trusty can of dry shampoo, as well as a flat iron. Between these two superheroes, they can pretty much save any bad hair day.
My picks for hair travel toiletries:
Brush | Flat iron | Dry Shampoo | Hairspray

Travel Toiletries: Makeup
As far as travel makeup essentials, I have a few key pieces of advice when it comes to packing. First – get yourself an all-in-one makeup palette. Ideally something that includes eyeshadow and cheek color. Bonus points for foundation. This way, you’ll have almost everything you need all in one spot!
Second, look for solid alternatives to liquid makeup, so that you don’t have to stuff liquid makeup in your one-quart toiletry bag. In this list, I’ve included a solid foundation as an example.
Third, look for multi-taskers that will take up less space in your bag! This lip color doubles as a lip liner, and the foundation includes SPF.

Travel Toiletries: Skincare
As for travel skincare products, again, I try to look for non-liquid alternatives. Check out face wipes to replace both cleanser and eye makeup remover, for example.
My picks for travel skincare essentials:
Cleanser | Moisturizer | Wipes | Eye Cream

Travel Toiletries: Extras
These extra pieces have a few non-liquid products, too. Solid perfume won’t count against your liquids allowance, leaving more space for this cute mini nail polish!
Deodorant wipes are another space-saver, too.
My picks for other travel toiletry essentials:
Solid Perfume | Deodorant Wipes | Toothpaste | Nail Polish
