With my Relevant trip rapidly approaching, I’ve been thinking about travel and packing.  Here are a few products and tips I’ve found for making toiletries travel-friendly.

For Shaving:

• The Gillette Venus Embrace Razor has built-in shaving “cream.”  It works great, and avoids the need to pack separate shaving cream.
• Your (hair) conditioner can be used as shaving cream, eliminating a product in your bag.
• If you really want to take something with you specifically for shaving, but you want something small, Shave Secret works beautifully, comes in a very small container (that lasts a long time), and is natural/healthy to boot!  (It’s cheaper at Wal-Mart than through this link, though.)

For Your Skin:

• Nature Certified lotion is the best lotion I’ve ever tried.  It comes in a pump bottle that’s great for packing.  Iit doesn’t ooze or spill.)  It’s even available in a very small container.

For Baby:

• Nature Certified’s baby wash/shampoo comes in a (foaming) pump bottle, as well.  And it is available in a smaller size that’s great for travel.  (You can use this for washing yourself, too, but it doesn’t suds well on a washcloth.)
• The same is true of the Earth Mama Angel Baby baby wash/shampoo.

Of course, most hotels have soap, shampoo, conditioner, and washcloths/towels, so these aren’t usually a big packing issue.

Packing small, leak-resistant toiletries works for me!
