Let’s hope a little holiday travel may be on your agenda in the next few weeks. Whether you're off to see the family or taking some time off for a little vacation on the beach, braving the crowds and airplane "air" is never a highlight. When you travel, the elevated amount of free radicals you’re exposed to can stress the skin and have been linked to accelerated aging. But there’s no need to compromise on eco-friendly skin care—even in the air! These choice travel kits contain pure, non-toxic ingredients—sure to keep your skin hydrated for the road ahead this holiday season.

100% Pure Skincare Gift Sets, $35.00

Mini versions of 100% Pure product favorites are worth considering for your travel kit. With ingredients like jasmine and mint tea, the great news about these sets is that they are tailored to your specific needs—whether dry, oily, or dull. The other great news is that—true to 100% pure's mission—you'll feel great without the harsh detergents, chemical preservatives, synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, or any other toxins common in cosmetics. 

GoToobs, $4.54 - $19.66

The above sets are all TSA-approved, but what if you want to stick to your full-sized favorites? We’ve been testing and loving GoToobs—an inert, silicon- (not silicone) based container that is BPA-free and holds a sample dose of any skin care product.  The tubes last for ages, have a lifetime warranty, and are kind of cute, too. You can get them online or at most major retailers such as Walgreens, Whole foods, or REI. Relax—now you can cross off the size/compliance and spilling concerns from your list of travel to do's.
