Travel Tips For Product Junkies is a 3-part series helping all the product junkies out there to better prepare for type away from the collection.

The first two in the series covered skincare and makeup. My third and last installation of travel tips for product junkies is all about hair and body. Not to be confused with body hair. Just get a wax and bring a razor for touch ups for that and you're all set. right?

As I noted in the skincare installment of this series, you don't always know what your destination's water conditions will be. You could bring lotion or even rely on your hotel's lotion (seriously is that stuff EVER good? Usually not unless you're staying boutique or fancy.) but you don't want to do that. A really great solution is an in-shower moisturizer. These came up on the market a few years back and haven't gotten NEARLY the attention they deserve. They're easy to use and FACT, during fashion week models are asked to use this instead of regular body lotion to keep the skin on their bodies supple without transferring product to the designer duds. A quarter size rubbed on arms, on each leg and another size on your torso after shampooing and cleansing is enough to sink in. Rinse and done.
Lesleykat's Pick: Olay Quench In-shower body lotion, of course you should probably squirt some into a travel tube since this stuff comes in a HUGE package; 15.2 oz to be exact. Available at drug stores $6.99

Again, the water is going to ruin your life. Your hair's life. I suggest bringing your richest conditioner to ensure your hair can make it through hell or hard water. I know that I can't trust my hair to some crazy 2-in-1-hotel-bullpoo and I'm guessing if you're reading this you can't either. 
Lesleykat's Pick: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Mask, this thick, rich conditioner/mask will cut through any tangles in seconds and leaves hair soft and manageable.

For the love of all things holy, do not forget your hairspray. If you end up putting your hair up every day on your trip you'll need that stuff to keep everything in place. If you are forgoing your flatiron, then you'll need it to calm your frizz. (if you don't have frizz I hate you a little, but you obviously don't need this advise)
Lesleykat's Pick: L'oreal Elnett Satin Strong Hold Hairspray, Available at Target $12.99

Travel Tips For Product Junkies is a 3-part series helping all the product junkies out there to better prepare for type away from the collection.

First up is skincare. Taking care of your skin on a trip can prove difficult. Packing your most effective products is super duper important. Products that multi-task can drasticly cut down on the amount of bottles in your bag, not to mention weight. Of course if you have travel sized bottles, that always helps. Most drug stores now carry TSA-approved bottles that make the crazy security lines a little easier. Of course, it defeats the purpose if you try to bring a hundred bottles.

Keep reading to see my picks for paring it all down.

Make sure you take your makeup off every single night. Makeup wipes travel easily, and are totally TSA friendly. The same can't be said for your giant bottle of cleansing oil. Bonus tip: I like to rinse after I take off my makeup with wipes to remove any remaining residue.
Lesleykat's Pick: Neutrogena Makeup Removing Cleansing Towelettes, available at drug stores $6.49 ($6.99 with travel box)

You may not know what the water conditions are where you are going which can make it hard to be prepared. Better a bit over-moisturized than under. Bring something with medium to heavy moisture. Flying and travel in general tends to dry out skin. You want to be able to enjoy yourself and not feel like your skin is resembling a scaly swamp creature.
Lesleykat's Pick: Clinique Moisture On-line. Sadly this particular product has been discontinued, I haven't tried the Moisture Surge collection which seems to have replaced the On-Call line. I would place my bet on it being a similar product. It's suited for all skintypes, which is an added bonus.  $34 for 1.7 oz.

If you have finicky skin (like me) than you will probably break out on your trip. (Oh great! This zit is the size of the freakin' eiffel tower!) Make sure you bring your most effective acne-fighting product. Don't bring your whole 17-step system, pick one. If it's a product that has exfoliating properties, even better!
Lesleykat's Pick: Proactive Renewing Cleanser, available at proactive.com and Proactive Kiosks $27.75 for 90-day supply

I don't care if you're going to Bermuda or Siberia, you're not taking a vacation from UVA/UVB rays. (ok, if you are going to Iceland in the winter, you are excused. As for the rest of you...) If your moisturizer doesn't have SPF in it you should at the very least bring a foundation that contains SPF15 or higher. Even better, bring a product that can multi-task.
Lesleykat's Pick: Dr Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm, boasts a SPF45 with skin-evening coverage and moisture infusion. Available at Sephora $39

As a kid I spent many summers in camp both sleep away and day camp. I enjoyed these times very much. I learned how to properly tie-dye, start bonfires and roast marshmallows; which up until recently I didn’t like AT ALL. Another thing I learned while at camp was that chlorine and sun take one helluva toll on hair. Lets explore some of my favorite options for summer hair care. To preface these choices I want to state that my hair is wavy, frizz-prone, virgin (non-chemically treated) and long as hell. It basically needs work to get it to look half way decent; which SUCKS because I’m more of a wash-and-go type of girl.

Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask
Now that you’ve stripped the gunk out of your hair, moisture must be replenished with a rich, deep conditioner. The Monoi Repairing Hair Mask by Carol’s Daughter is new to the market and already becoming a favorite amoungst the beauty buffs. Not only is it super rich and hydrates in the most luxurious way possible, it smells like bottled summer.
Available at Sephora $29

Neutrogena Shampoo
Have you ever seen those little girls with light hair that looks like it turning green? That my friends is chlorine. While it keeps our pools clean and safe (honestly, can’t we just all switch over to salt purification systems PLEASE?) it also does a nasty little number on hair. Not only does it turn it a few shades of green it can also dry it out significantly. Neutrogena shampoo is a super-clarifying shampoo that strips out chlorine and any other build up in hair. This will reverse green glow in just a couple of washes.
Available at most drug stores for around $3.99

Aveeno Nourish+Condition Leave-In Treatment
While there are a zillion and a half leave-in conditioners and treatments on the market, I like this one by Aveeno mostly because of the price tag and also because its not ALL chemicals. I start application at the ends and then gradually work up towards my roots. I DO NOT spray right on my roots and scalp. This is the quick road to greasy-town. Work in a little more when you're feeling extra dried out.

*Bonus Beach Tip: If you’re going to be out in the sun on the beach or by a pool I suggest spritzing a few squirts of this treatment in your hair before tying it up. (top knot, right?) This will help shield your hair from the sun and heat and prevent too much drying.
Available at most drugstores for around $6.99
