Due to recent events, you can not take liquids on planes in carry-on luggage. This includes items such as: toothpaste, perfume, shampoo and even lip gloss. So what’s a beauty-conscious traveler supposed to do? If you don’t have time to dig through your checked luggage before heading off to your destination, Carefair.com, a new online beauty community, has the following tips:
Avoid or cut down on caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea and soda. They are too dehydrating. Drink lots of water or snack on fruits with a high water content such as berries, oranges, and mango slices before and/or during you flight. Avoid dehydrating beverages like beer, cocktails or wine
Moisturize before flying to keep your skin glowing
Look for powder alternatives to your shampoo/conditioner as well as your perfume. There are dry, powder-based shampoos (i.e., Hair Fix or Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder) and perfume powders available (i.e., Victoria’s Secret Heavenly Silkening Body Powder or Jessica Simpson’s Powdered Sugar Deliciously Kissable Body Shimmer). Also consider bringing baby powder to stay feeling fresh
Pack "cleansing towelettes" - pre-moistened clothes that contain a cleaning solution and facial blotting tissue to remove excess oil and leave a light powder matte finish
If you have any prescription acne medicine or skin creams – make sure you bring them in a properly labeled package
Consider using long-wearing cosmetics - such as long wear eye shadows that won't cake or smudge, and lip-liners, concealers and eye-liners that are made to stay on for a longer time
