Calling all beauty lovers! Welcome to First Class Beauty, an extensive guide to the best travel beauty products to carry on (or check) for your next adventure, tested and beloved by ELLE.com editors.
With summer on the back burner, my feelings for the fall and winter seasons are yo-yo-ing from love to loathe. The highs? The crisp tinge of an autumnal breeze, the crunch of sunset-tinted leaves scattered on the ground, and the sound of suitcases rolling in the airport as we escape to warmer climates. Then comes the dip: pumpkin spice lattes (sorry, not sorry) and flaky, dull skin thrown off by the quick temperature switch. Ashy, cracked lips at a time like this? Way scarier than a TSA pat down.
Transitioning from the vibrant warmth of summer to the cooler, drier months of fall and winter necessitates a complete beauty overhaul. Like the summer essentials you bought to streamline your vacation glow, the colder months are when you owe yourself extra care and nourishment from head to toe. Your skin, body, and hair are often exposed to harsh elements and stripped of their natural moisture, leaving them dry and prone to irritation or damage. Factor in the stress of delayed flights, recycled cabin air, and excessive eye-rolling due to the restless baby wailing behind you, and haggard skin is the consequence. But it doesnât have to be this way. Updating your beauty arsenal with hydrating serums, gentle exfoliants, strand strengtheners, and richer moisturizers can provide a much-needed shield against the biting chill.
Ahead of your next OOO adventure, bookmark this page of the best beauty travel essentials of 2023. Curated and tested by ELLE.comâs beauty team and self-professed travel connoisseurs, this guide highlights the best troubleshooters for your winter beauty woes, guaranteed to withstand any arid conditions you may encounter. And because not everyone wants to check a bag, nestled in the expansive list are TSA-approved sizes and our beloved holy grails. (And if you need inspiration for your next escape, may we suggest anywhere on this list.)

Danielle James, ELLE.com Beauty Director
âAs the seasons change and we exchange our sundresses for sweaters, I do the same for my skin care routine. My lightweight gel moisturizer gets switched for a thicker cream and almost everything I use has hyaluronic acidâthe holy grail for hydration. As a frequent flyer, I find that a change in climate and the recycled air from the plane can severely dehydrate my skin. Thatâs why itâs important for me to arm myself with these beauty essentials to ensure that my skin barrier, like my seat, is always in first class.â
Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com Beauty Commerce Editor
âThe cold weather already makes me miserable, especially when the flaky, dry skin it brings starts ruining my full beat. Winter is the best season to correct your skin, and itâs my favorite time to tap into all the exfoliating toners, corrective masks, and AHA, BHA, PHA everything I had tucked away during the summer. Seeing all my dead skin fall off my skin over time is as spooky as it gets for me this season. No jump scares necessary.â

Sulwhasoo Anti-Aging First Care Activating Serum
âSulwhasoo has had me in a firm grip since I was introduced to the Gentle Cleansing Oil. Moisturized, radiant, youthful skin has always been the brandâs mission, and it continues with the First Care Activating Serum. Supporting the skinâs barrier with the brandâs signature Sulwhasoo Master Complex, ginseng, herbs, and more, the serum boosts elasticity to keep fine lines and wrinkles awayâand radiance coming.ââNP

Blue Crystalline Blue Crystalline Face Serum
âThis serum was founded by Aaryan Ramzan, a trans man who underwent hormone therapy and couldnât find a skin care routine that could adapt to his changing skin. And while I may not be undergoing the same treatment, travel, time, and dry environments causes my skin (and thus my skin care routine) to fluctuate.

Angela Caglia Cell FortĂŠ Serum Powered by BIOMSCâ˘ď¸
âLongtime celebrity esthetician Angela Caglia recently launched her eponymous skin care line with one product: the Cell Forte Serum. Formulated with real exosomes and epidermal growth factors (sans any human DNA), this potent anti-aging product helps repair your skin barrier from sun damage and fine lines. Basically think of this serum as the byproduct of stem cells, which are often used to help repair your body. Iâve been using it twice a day and notice my skin looking healthier and my smile lines softer. ELLE has predicted exosome therapy will soon be bigger than botox, and for over-the-counter solutions, this topical formula is leading the way.ââDJ

It features the Japanese citrus fruit amanatsu for its vitamin C benefits and hyaluronic acid for hydration. I normally skip out on vitamin C, because I am not a fan of the sticky formula, but this product goes on smooth and absorbs quickly into your skin. My skin definitely looks brighter over time, and instantly after application, you get a healthy glow.ââDJ
Powerhouse Quenchers

âTravel puts your skin through the wringer and can cause an onslaught of skin woes, from dryness to congestion to dullness.

N8iV Beauty Starlight Regenerative Cream
âMany of the ingredients in this luscious cream are straight from the reservation where founder Ruth Ann Thorn resides. The hero ingredient is acorn oil, which has been used for more than 23,000 years by Native tribes for its nutritional benefits (yes, you read that right). Acorn oil is high in antioxidants to nourish the skin, and this is the only beauty brand on the market to use the powerful kwilla-acorn oil.ââDJ

âIf you love the effects of lip plumpers but arenât into the irritation that comes with them, this tripeptide treatment is for you. Hyaluronic acid keeps your lips moisturized while the tripeptide complex slowly plumps your lips over time. Itâs not the same as a lip filler, but I no longer have to overapply my lips.ââDJ

RANAVAT Lotus Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
âIâm not loyal to any cleansing balmâanything that can effectively remove my makeup in one swipe is always good in my book. But after using Ranavatâs Cleansing Balm once (after a five-hour matte makeup look, might I add), I feel like maybe Iâm ready to settle down. After all, Ranavat makes it easy to be a devotee. The magic lies in its rich, buttery melt, thanks to key stars like mango and shea butter, which lend a faint, sweet aroma to make the dreadful makeup takedown process pleasurable.ââNP

Medik8 Ultimate Recovery⢠Bio-Cellulose Mask
âDuring a recent facial with an esthetician, my skin embarrassed me. âYour skin soaked up every ounce of the hyaluronic acid serum,â she told me. My skin was thirsty and wasted no time airing me out. I made a vow to give it the proper hydration it deserved, and Medik8 Bio-Cellulose Mask is what it needed. As the name suggests, this sheet mask is the âultimate recoveryâ for parched, congested skin, thanks to hyaluronic acid and algae extract, which deeply nourish and plump the skin.ââNP

Stimunail Nail Wellness Device
âAfter an acrylic nail job resulted in stress fractures and brittle nails, I was desperate for a fix. Repair and strengthening formulas were not doing the trick fast enough.

This LED nail polish lasts 10 days and can be removed in less than 30 seconds with nail polish remover. No nail drills necessary!ââDJ

Guerlain Revitalizing & Fortifying Care Shampoo
âGuerlain knows that bees are important to our future, so itâs no surprise that the brand focused on these creaturesâ sweet elixir as the main product in its latest collection.

Saphira Hair Mineral+Mud
âIâve gifted this product to my mother and have told all my friends about it, too. This mud masks uses 26 minerals from the Dead Sea to help revitalize your scalp.

Glossier Stretch Face Brush
âIs it a makeup brush or a face tool? Itâs both! Add a spa-like effect to your morning makeup routine with Glossierâs new Stretch Brush. This design of this brush was well-considered; it perfectly fits the curves of your face. When I apply, I donât know if Iâm giving my face a quick lymphatic massage or just applying my base.
