No matter your travel style, these 3 are essential to every packing list:

1. Folding travel toothbrush

Alternative: Quip electric toothbrush has a slim, compact design, includes a travel cover, and its battery keeps a 3 month charge.

2. Trader Joe’s SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick

TSA approved sun protection on the go, safe on face and body. Grab one for $5 at your local Trader Joe’s, otherwise CeraVe SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Stick is another zinc-based option if Trader Joe’s is unavailable near you.

Alternative: Neutrogena SPF 70 Ultra Sheer sunscreen stick is a non-greasy lightweight alternative to mineral sunscreens.

3. Cacala Pestemal Turkish Towel

Versatile accessory that can be a scarf for extra warmth, head cover for cultural practices, blanket for seating, and towel for drying off. It’s thin, durable construction dry quickly and absorbent cotton looms get softer with every wash.

Alternative: Dock & Bay microfiber beach towel is compact, quick drying and sand resistant.
