Best Wellness Items to Travel With

Vicks Sinex Severe, Nasal Spray

I tend to develop sinus infections either while traveling or right after returning from a long international trip. During my recent trip to Spain, I developed a severe sinus infection, and was so thankful to have the Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray with me. I absolutely love this product. I used 2-3 sprays per nostril every 4-6 hours and it provided significant congestion relief.

Pill Organizer

As someone with PCOS and SIBO, I have to carry along several vitamins and supplements with me, while traveling, in order to ensure my symptoms do not exacerbate. I found these pill organizers, by TookMag, to be super convenient, since each pill box contains two sections to carry both the supplements you take in the morning and at night. They are the perfect size to store all my supplements and are very portable, as they fit perfectly in nearly every handbag.

EltaMd UV Clear Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 46

As a woman of color, in addition to having very sensitive acne-prone skin, I find I tend to break out from most sunscreens. However, the EltaMD broad spectrum SPF 46 works perfectly for my skin and the fact that it is tinted, ensures I never have a white cast. It’s oil-free and contains niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and lactic acid, which help to protect sensitive skin types prone to discoloration and breakouts. It’s also very lightweight and I find makeup applies very well over it. 

LARQ Bottle Filtered

I only drink bottled water when I travel. However, that can get pretty expensive and it can be difficult to find a nearby store with bottled water at times when traveling. The LARQ filtered water bottle is the perfect solution to this! It uses nano zero filter technology to remove lead, heavy metals, chlorine, and particulates and I find, is a safe alternative to use. My body is highly sensitive to any changes in water and I haven’t had any issues so far, when using this water bottle.
