If your lips get parched on a plane and you realize you totally forgot to pack some lip balm, ask the flight attendant for a packet of butter (the ones that usually come with your meal). In a pinch it makes for an amazing (and yummy) substitute for a salve, since it will keep your lips soft and moist. 

Use Butter as Lip Balm
If your lips get parched on a plane and you realize you totally forgot to pack some lip balm, ask the flight attendant for a packet of butter (the ones that usually come with your meal). In a pinch it makes for an amazing (and yummy) substitute for a salve, since it will keep your lips soft and moist.

Swipe Deodorant on...Your Face
If you're spending time in a super-hot location, try this celebrity makeup artist trick: Swipe your deodorant clean, and then swipe it over spots you're likely to sweat on your face (like your forehead and upper lip). The ingredients that keep your underarms from sweating will work the same way on your face. (Just don't do this step everyday, since you could breakout.) Then, apply moisturizer and makeup over top, as per usual. 

Go for Cream...Not Lotion
Apply a heavier moisturizer (than what you normally slather on) the night before you travel. This increases your skin's hydration before the effects of road-tripping dehydrate it. We like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, $13.16, amazon.com.

Enlist a Mist
Toting a travel mineral mist, like E.L.F. Mineral Mist, $8, eyeslipsface.com, helps keep skin from dehydrating —and keeps you from globing on more moisturizer than you actually need when you realize your skin is flaky.

Take Towelettes on Your Trip
These babies come in handy, trust us: Spilled your drink? No problem! Need to wipe your face clean to freshen up? Done.

Be a Nudist
...on your nails, that is! Skip bright polish on your fingertips (wear on it your toes instead, since color tends to last longer there anyway) and go for a barely there shade on your fingers. Chips are less likely to be detected when you're wearing a pretty nude hue. 

Keep Hand Sanitizer Handy
To avoid getting unsightly pimples while you're on vacay, NYC-based dermatologist Francesca Fusco, M.D. advises against touching your skin while you travel. "You can pick up any number of unknown bacteria that can result in any number of skin problems after you arrive."

Carry on a Dry Shampoo

 

Use Your Flat Iron as a Regular Iron
If your clothes are a little wrinkled after you've unpacked and there isn't a regular iron in sight, use your travel flat iron to smooth your collar, sleeves, and hemline. One hot tool we recommend: Amika Leopard Mini Ceramic Styler, $25, amazon.com.

Fragrance: Don't Spray it, Wear it
Score your favorite fragrance in jewelry form! These on-trend beaded bracelets—Lisa Hoffman Perfume Jewelry, $59.90 each, amazon.com—are stackable and come with a closeable detailed casing that holds a fragrance ball inside.

Mask Roots with Mascara
Got roots you just noticed? If you have dark hair, use your mascara (black or brown, depending on your color) to cover up exposed regrowth—stat. Try Avon Super Extend Extreme Mascara, $1.50,

  4. Put two metal spoons in the freezer at night, and in the morning, place the backs of the cold spoons under your eyes and as close to the inner corners as possible. Apply a little bit of pressure and slowly glide the spoons toward the outer corners. The gliding movement will help drain the fluid that's pooling underneath your eye, while the cold spoon will help minimize any puffiness.

  5. Place a spoon below your eye with the curve out and then apply your mascara like you normally would to your lower lashes. That way the residue will land on the back of the utensil rather than your skin. This also works when applying mascara on your upper lashes if you place the spoon on top of your upper eyelid.

  10. Chill Out Puffy Eyes

    To reduce under-eye puffiness after a long trip, Pam Inman, American Hotel Lodging Association vice president and chief operating officer, says to put crushed ice in a washcloth and apply it under the eyes.

  11. If you have naturally wavy hair, then you know that sometimes your texture feels like a curse. Wavy hair isn’t as wash-and-go as straight strands, and lacks the bounce that curls have. But even though getting there may take a little extra work, waves can look shiny and gorgeous…as long as you know how to style them

  14. If you don't have an eyelash curler nearby, grab a metal spoon instead. Place the curved edge right above your top lashes with the back of the spoon against your eyelid. With your finger, lightly press your lashes against the edge to mimic the clamp of an eyelash curler. Move the edge of the spoon out along the lashes and continue pressing. For a more dramatic curl, heat the spoon up a bit with a blow dryer first
