As someone who’s always on the go whether it’s a solo adventure through Rio, a weekend escape to Costa Rica, A weekend stay at a friends place or a quick business trip I’ve learned that not all beauty products are worth the suitcase space. But a few? I literally won’t board a plane without them. These are my top 3 must-have beauty products for travel that keep me glowing, comfortable, and confident no matter where I land.
1. La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Pro-Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen
Why I Love It:
Sunscreen is non-negotiable for me. I have sensitive skin and, because I use Hydroquinone as part of my skincare routine for my hyperpigmentation, sun protection is critical to prevent hyperpigmentation and irritation.
What I love about this one:
- It works for both face and body (space-saving win!)
- No breakouts. Even with my acne-prone skin
- No white cast, so I never worry about that weird ghostly glow in pictures
- It feels lightweight and absorbs quickly
If you’re like me and want one reliable SPF for every kind of weather, this is it.

2. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil with Shea
Why I Love It:
Listen, I don’t care how fancy the hotel is I always bring my own shower essentials. This body cleansing oil is a game-changer. It feels like a luxurious spa treatment every time I shower, and the scent is subtle but long-lasting (I’ve literally gotten compliments from friends right after I’ve used it).
It’s ultra-hydrating, which is essential when you’re flying, exposed to different water types, or spending days under the sun. If your skin ever feels dry or dull after travel, this will help bring it back to life.

3. Silicone Nipple Covers – My Secret Style Weapon
Why I Love It:
Let’s be honest bras don’t always go with summer dresses, tank tops, or that cute going-out outfit. And on tropical getaways, wearing one can just feel…too much. These silicone nipple covers are discreet, reusable, and sweat-proof (I literally wore these to the beach once), which is key when I’m out dancing or exploring in the heat.
They help keep my outfit classy and comfortable. Whether I’m wearing a low-back dress or a crop top, these help me feel confident and secure without compromising the look.
