As the days of gratis checked bags continue to wan, the desire for carrying-on continues to climb. And as if editing down your wardrobe to fit within the standard carry-on confines – 22″ (length) x 14″ (width) x 9″ (height) – isn’t challenging enough, we’ve got to strategically leave room for our toiletries too. Which, according to the TSA, must be carried in travel-size containers not exceeding 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters. Further squeezed into a clear, quart-sized bag for easy TSA inspection, like this one. Packing has never been a more thought-provoking art form.
Luckily, beauty brands are coming to the rescue with a bevy of travel-ready beauty kits in TSA-approved, carry-on primed sizes. From body and hair care to sun and sleep care, these clever, cute and convenient sets are effectively taking the guesswork out of your toiletry toils.
Here, we’ve rounded up 20 of the best travel beauty kits you can buy right now. The only remaining problem is deciding which one (or few) to pack.
