Travel Light: Skincare Tools We’d Pack In Our Carry-On
We all know the struggle: you’re trying to fit your entire skincare routine into a quart-sized ziplock bag while praying your favorite serum doesn’t explode mid-flight. But here’s the good news—traveling light doesn’t mean your skin has to suffer.
Unlike liquids, skincare tools are TSA-approved, mess-free, and endlessly reusable. Whether you’re headed on a weekend getaway or a long-haul flight across time zones, the right tools can keep your skin (and your sanity) in check without sacrificing precious carry-on space.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up our favorite Skin Gym tools that are perfect for tossing in your bag and keeping your glow going, no matter where you land.
The Skin Gym Carry-On Edit
CryoChill Ice Beaded Eye Mask
This dual-sided mask is a lifesaver. Freeze it and wear fabric-side down for a cooling refresh that tackles puffiness, or keep it in the fridge and use the beaded side for a gentler, soothing effect. Whether you’re jet-lagged or just need a quick pick-me-up, the CryoChill Ice Beaded Eye Mask is here to revive tired eyes—hangovers included.
Skin Gym LED Hair Brush
This tool is part scalp massage, part light therapy session—all designed to help support healthier-looking hair. The LED Hair Brush uses gentle vibration and LED light therapy to help stimulate the scalp and boost your hair-care routine. Sleek, cordless, and perfectly sized for your bag, it’s your on-the-go glow-up essential.
Skin Gym Cryo Stainless Steel Facial Roller
Skin Gym Cryo Stainless Steel Facial Roller
If you’re skipping your usual face mask while traveling, this is the next best thing. Naturally cool to the touch, it helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and gives your skin that much-needed post-flight glow. Use it in the morning or mid-flight to look and feel more relaxed.
Tilka Cleansing Brush with LED
Tilka Cleansing Brush with LED
Who says you can’t double cleanse when you travel? This powerhouse cleansing brush gently removes dirt, sweat, and SPF with its gentle vibrations, while the built-in LED light works to support smoother skin. It’s compact, lightweight, and definitely way more effective than hotel bar soap.
Morning Shed Chin Strap
Perfect for overnight flights or hotel stays, this soft, sculpting strap works while you sleep to help define your jawline. The breathable design gently hugs your face, easing tension and encouraging a more lifted look. Toss it in your carry-on so you can still look forward to snatched mornings.
Skin Gym Face and Mouth Tape Bundle
Skin Gym Face & Mouth Tape Bundle
Jet lag can wreak havoc on your skin and your sleep. The Face and Mouth Tape Bundle helps with both. Use the face tape to support a firmer-looking complexion, and the mouth tape to encourage better rest. They’re 100% fuss-free and take up about as much space as a gum packet.
Smart Packing Tips
-
Wrap tools in a microfiber cloth or pouch to protect them from scratches.
-
Clean before you pack and bring a few sanitizing wipes for the road.
- Keep your essentials in your personal bag so you can roll, brush, or chill mid-flight.

Just because you’re traveling light doesn’t mean you have to leave your skincare game behind. With the right tools, you can stay radiant, refreshed, and ready for wherever your carry-on takes you. These Skin Gym essentials are proof that good skin (and good vibes) travel well.
