Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover
All good skin care routines begin with a cleanser to refresh your skin and clear out any dirty pores. Micellar water has become wildly popular due to its ability to cleanse, remove makeup, and moisturize in one fell swoop.

Also, pack a few cotton balls or some tissues to apply the micellar water seamlessly. If you’re worried about your sensitive skin, you can rest assured. This product is perfect for dry, oily, or combination skin because of its gentle hydration. The best part? Garnier has created a readily available travel size, so you can zoom through security with no questions asked!

S’well Insulated Water Bottle
Let’s be honest, the best way to help your skin is to keep yourself hydrated. Some skin care products on our travel essential list may seem unconventional.
