WHAT’S IN YOUR DOPP KIT?

GRAB THOSE TRAVEL-SIZED SKIN CARE ITEMS

BY JEFFREY JAMES KEYES

DO YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME FUMBLING THROUGH MEDICINE CABINETS TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO PACK FOR BUSINESS TRIPS, VACATIONS, AND WEEKEND GETAWAYS? TSA guidelines allow travelers to carry quart-sized bags of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams, and pastes in carry-on bags. These travel-sized containers must be 3.4 ounces or less. Streamline packing for your upcoming trip by ordering travel sized grooming and skincare products that are designed to not only fit in your dopp kit but will make it through security. If you’re traveling by boat or by train, however, feel free to live your life and fill your bag however you desire.
