Leaders of the Pack
Behold the travel packet: With these 11 single-use sundries, you'll breeze through airport security.
Bath Salts
After a beach run or a mountain hike, pour Kneipp Herbal Bath Salts ($3.50) into a warm bath. Juniper, an anti-inflammatory, soothes tired muscles.

Fun Floss
It's about as fun as floss gets: the tiny Crest Glide Deep Clean To-Go packet ($4 for 30). Rip open at the middle and pull the two ends apart to reveal a perfect length of mint-flavored floss.
Facial Treatment
The saturated cloth in MD Skincare 4-in-1 Facial Treatment ($35 for 30) removes dirt and excess oil while it fights free radicals with green tea and blueberry extracts.
Hand Sanitizer
Use the Herban Essentials Lemon Towelette ($15 for 20) as a hand sanitizer, or dab it on your face and chest for an easy (and fresh-scented) way to cool off.
Detergent
The sweet musk and citrus fragrance in The Laundress Signature Detergent ($20 for eight) is so delicious that you'll almost hope for a ketchup stain.
Hair Shine and Scent
If there's no time to shower and your hair needs a refresher, give it shine and scent with a wipe of Victoria's Secret So Sexy High-Shine Hair Revivers ($12.50 for six).
Self-Tanning Towelettes
It takes only a minute to rub the Comodynes Convenient Cosmetics Self-Tanning Towelette ($40 for 20) over clean, dry skin. The light formula dries much faster than a lotion; golden color develops in a few hours.
Clay Mask
Be Fine Warming Clay Mask ($2) soaks up shine and calms the skin with cardamom and arnica—the perfect antidote to a day spent outside in the heat and humidity.
Eye Treatment Mask
A long flight or an extreme climate can dry you out, especially around the delicate eye area. Shiseido Benefiance Eye Treatment Mask ($37 for ten) has vitamins C and E and hyaluronic acid to help skin retain moisture.
Deep Conditioning Treatment
Too much sun, wind, and chlorine may have you yearning for a deep-conditioning treatment midtrip. Massage Ted Gibson Hair Sheet Treatment ($35 for five) through dry hair, starting at ends. No need to rinse it out.
Sunscreen Wipes
There isn't any excuse to skip sunscreen when it's this easy to apply (and reapply): A quick swipe of Shady Day Daily Sun Protection Wipes SPF 30+ ($10 for five) keeps you covered.
