Leave-In Conditioner: Not only does leave in conditioner tame tangles, it is also one of the key ingredients to keep hair healthy and damage free.

That is why I always pack a travel-sized bottle of my signature scent to add a touch of luxury to my travels. While there are many amazing scents in the world, Marc Jacobs has many refreshing floral scents that pair well with the essence of places such as Europe.

Face Lotion: Having dry skin can be frustrating when you want to wear makeup and look your best for the camera while traveling.
