There is something about traveling and being away from home that gets you all excited and in a good mood. But what do you do when it is barely hours to your departure time and you haven’t yet packed your suitcase? Packing everything randomly inside your bag may seem to be the best option but not so much when it takes you hours to find your keys, your lip balm or your wet wipes.
The big bag is for your clothes, hats, and shoes. But where do the little things go? This is where travel toiletry kits come in handy. Want to know what to pack inside your travel toiletry kit? Here are 5 must haves;
1. Facial Wet Wipes
Traveling means that you are bound to get into contact with many contaminated surfaces. Whether it is the elevator dial pad or the bathroom doorknobs, you can never be too sure how clean all these surfaces are. So, to be on the safe side, always bring with you a travel sized set of facial wipes not just to wipe your face clean of all the sweat on a relatively hot day but to double as a way to keep your hands sanitized.
2. Toothbrush
Go for the foldable type of toothbrush that comes inside its own case. The fact that you can fold it means that the toothbrush doesn’t take as much space as a normal one. Plus, your toothbrush stays clean inside your toiletry kit despite being packed together with your makeup, perfume or deodorant.
3. Nail cutters/clippers
Nail clippers are probably the last thing you think of packing when you are traveling. But a split/broken nail is something that can ruin your experience if you don’t have the proper tool to safely clip it. What’s more, a nail clipper comes in handy as makeshift scissors but can’t find the real ones anywhere.
4. Deodorant
When you have a long flight ahead, or when you are traveling during the hot summer season, it helps to carry some deodorant. Carrying deodorant means that you get to stay refreshed, especially when you can’t manage to shower as many times in a day as you normally do. Find travel sized deodorant that has a mild fragrance or one that has a natural fresh smell.
5. Pain killers and motion sickness pills
Flights and long car rides can take a toll on your body. This often ends up with you having a headache, fever or feeling nauseous. In your travel toiletry kit, it is advisable to bring with you small packs of both motion sickness meds and some painkillers just to help your body cope and feel better.
What goes into your travel toiletry kits depends majorly on who you are as a person and what your preferences are. Above are ideas on five items you certainly don’t want to leave out as you prepare for your journey.
