As the East Coast teases us with fake spring—80-degree days and 30-degree nights—I have officially turned on my flight notifications for a to-be-determined spring vacation. If you also have a getaway on the horizon, take this opportunity while you're counting down the days to come up with a beauty game plan. You may know which outfits you want to wear, and the accessories that will definitely make their way into your suitcase, but what about your product selection? Knowing your travel personality—whether that's a carry-on-only minimalist or a pack-the-vanity jet-setter—can help make the process a bit smoother. Below, we've rounded up our favorite picks for every type.
For those who have been hibernating all winter:
I am a firm believer that the cure to seasonal depression is an hour (or five) in the sun. If you’ve been bundling up all winter, it’s important to protect yourself from the impending sunburn that spring travel has to offer.
For those who always need full glam:
While for some, spring weather means lightweight makeup and glowy skincare products, for others it simply means a shift in foundation shade. A change in weather calls for a stay-all-day glam and an easy way to scrub it off even when you’re half asleep at the end of the night.
For those who only bring a carry-on:
For whatever reason, all of those mini toiletry items you stole from a hotel you visited two years ago are suddenly MIA when you need them most, and digging through your everyday products to find liquids under 3.4 ounces should be the least of your worries. My number-one focus when it comes to packing light? Versatile, multi-use products that work for any occasion.
