Travel can take a toll on your body and soul; these products keep you looking (and feeling) good. From a clever shoe that puts a spring in your step (and is effortlessly easy to put on and remove) to a lightweight hair dryer and a night cream that works wonders on tired, dehydrated skin, here are three must-haves to tote on your next trip:

Kizik Shoes

Taking your sneakers off in airport security—and putting them back on again—can be a hassle when you don’t have TSAPreCheck (or when you’re traveling internationally and this step is required). This ingenious shoe available for men, women and kids has a patented heel design which negates untying and retying them. Simply slide your foot in, and the heel compresses all the way and then springs back into place, completely securing your foot. What’s more, they’re also attractive and comfortable.Available in several different styles and colors including canvas, suede and leather, they let you go from traveling to sightseeing to casual dinners without the look of “regular” sneakers. And Kizik is a company you can feel good about supporting, as they partner with nonprofit organizations including the United Way and the I Am Mom Summit.

GAMA Italy Professional iQ Perfetto Hair Dryer

There’s nothing worse than trying to style your hair with one of those blow dryers installed on a hotel bathroom wall that emits weak, tepid air. Weighing in at just .65 pounds (about the weight of many smartphones), this professional dryer is the lightest of its kind on the market. Created by a company founded more than 50 years ago in Bologna, Italy, it’s also seven times more powerful than other models. The iQ Perfetto is capable of drying your hair 30 percent than traditional dryers faster thanks to a 110,000 RPM brushless motor with three speed levels and three heat levels that may be locked to your particular preference. The dryer gets your hair silky-smooth; comes with a diffuser and two concentrator nozzles; and is available in matte black, silver and rose gold. Easy to hold and easy to use, the only downside for travel is the chunky, long cord, but you can easily wrap and secure it with a Velcro tie.

FACTORFIVE Night Retinol Cream

Don’t shortchange your skincare routine when you travel. This brand-new cream is basically a stem cell skin treatment in a jar, with a powerful blend of human stem cell growth factors, 0.25 percent retinol, and alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to promote skin regeneration and improve the appearance of skin at the cellular level. The powerful formula promotes cell renewal, boosts production of collagen and elastin, restores aging and damaged cells and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, with visible results in four weeks. The cream also staves off the stress and dehydrating effects traveling can have on your skin. Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, sulfate detergents, phthalates, urea, DEA or TEA, it’s never tested on animals. Dispense the cream into your travel-sized toiletry jar and, for best results, use it in combination with your preferred FACTORFIVE serum.

Find Inner Peace in India, the Birthplace of Yoga

How far would you travel in pursuit of inner peace? Though the wellness industry has grown in popularity for quite a while, he business skyrocketed post-pandemic, with more and more travelers booking yoga retreats in the name of serenity, spirituality and, of course, self-care. When I decided it was zen I sought, I figured I should travel to its very birthplace: India. Though the idea of traveling in India initially felt more exciting than relaxing, I found the contrast between the bustling activity outside and the quiet reflection of my yoga practice to be an intoxicating combination.

Australia’s Amazing Gold Coast Buzzes with Family-Friendly Activities

In Springbrook National Park, about 90 minutes south of Brisbane, the sky is aglow. But this isn’t the sort of glittery glimmer I expected from Australia’s buzzy Gold Coast. I’d heard about the sun-dappled beaches framed with scintillating sand, the sunscreen-slathered bodies at play, the way the ocean water whirls with what looks like bits of gold dust, the amusement parks, the meter maids clad in bikinis, and the high-rise hotels with their reflective-mirrored windows and popular bars that blare tunes beside the waves. Before arriving at what I imagined to look a bit like Miami’s South Beach in places (and it does along the coast in parts), I hadn’t focused much on thoughts of ancient trees, rugged outback and night skies luminous with glowworms. This nighttime nature foray, however, shows me another version of the Gold Coast ... one where nocturnal safaris veritably light up my life.
