Pack the routine you know

Guide

How can I keep a travel routine manageable?

Begin with familiar basic roles and the daytime protection your outing requires. Travel is not a reason to start several unfamiliar formulas together.

Pack what you know

Cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen you already use cover most trips. Decant into small containers or buy travel sizes of the same products, and keep liquids within your airline's rules.

Plan for the outdoors

A beach, a hike or a day of sightseeing usually means more sun than home. Bring enough sunscreen to apply generously and reapply, and add a hat or shade to the plan.

Save the new finds for later

Shopping for K-beauty on a trip can be part of the fun. Try new products when you are home, one at a time, so a reaction does not spoil your holiday and you know what caused it.

Try this

  • Pack by role: cleansing, moisturizing and daytime protection.
  • Leave optional duplicate steps at home if you prefer.
  • Keep the product identity and directions readable.

A common mistake

Unlabeled decants or several new travel products can make a simple plan difficult to follow.
