Face Oil
There's something about traveling that dries your skin out, every time. Nix the problem in the bud by slathering on some much needed skin food (A.K.A this organic oil).

Dry shampoo is a year-round staple, if you ask us, but it's especially necessary for keeping it fresh during the holidays. Let's be real: Lifetime movies on the couch and PJs all day is where it's at.
Face Mist
Boarding planes, trains and automobiles can make for an exhausting day. Solution: Any time you need a timeout whip out your face mist and spritz away. You'll feel instantly refreshed.
Lip Balm
Chapped lips aren't sexy, but when temps drop, they're bound to happen. Eliminate the issue with a heavy-duty ointment. It doesn't hurt that this cult-classic one is cute, pink and strawberry-flavored, too.
Tweezers
If you were thinking about it, you probably got your brows freshly waxed before you took off on your trip. Still, stray hairs will pop up so be prepared with this must-have tool.
Eye Cream
Cold weather and dry skin seem to go hand-in-hand, so keep your most delicate skin (your eye area) well-hydrated with a renewing eye cream, day and night.
Tinted Moisturizer
