8 Road Trip Beauty Essentials
The global pandemic has likely grounded your summer plans, but the open road awaits! While many Americans have cancelled unnecessary flights, 72 percent are still planning to get behind the wheel in the coming months in order to get away according to a recent survey by the American Hotel and Lodging Association. The majority of those aforementioned adventures are expected to be four days or less, meaning long weekend escapes are at the top of many travelers’ lists. Here, eight beauty must-haves to pack before you roll down the windows and hit the highway.

Jao Refresher Sanitizer, $24

Keys. Face mask. Hand sanitizer. In addition to your phone and wallet, coronavirus calls for precautionary measures, especially when you’re on the road. Jao Refresher is 95% natural, and an instant disinfectant and aromatherapy boost in one. Kills germs and freshens hands with Ethyl Alcohol derived from corn (less drying) and their very own blend of antiseptic essential oils: Lavender, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Geranium and Sage.
