This summer has been my "season of not staying put," as my family likes to call it. Without even realizing, I have somehow planned a trip every weekend and booked over a dozen flights—and its only July. I've flown from California to Copenhagen and everywhere in between, and while it's been so much fun to travel, quite frankly, I'm exhausted. Flying definitely takes a toll on my health, but I've curated a routine that has kept my wellness in check all summer long (*knocks on wood*). My carry-on is stocked with digestive aids, immune support, hydration essentials, and sleep accessories that make red-eyes more manageable. I'm certainly no wellness expert, but I swear the following items have been complete lifesavers. Keep scrolling to shop the products I can't travel without.
Physical Health
This vitamin C supplement was made with travel in mind. It contains anti-viral properties, immune boosters, and stress-relieving adaptogens for the ideal on-the-go concoction.
This gives a caffeine perk without the crash, which is ideal for combatting jet lag.
I'm the type of traveler who needs daily movement but not necessarily two hours in the gym. Jump ropes are an easy thing to pack for a quick cardio burst.
Gut Health
These seem to be the only digestion aids that actually get rid of that post-flight bloat.
The only way to combat travel dehydration.
The greatest hack of all is adding a couple spoonfuls of chia seeds to a glass of water and mixing it with the Liquid IV packets above. You get a hydration and digestion boost (if you get what I'm saying).
Skin Health
Packing an eye cream that hydrates and de-puffs is nonnegotiable for me.
This lightweight tool always manages to find a way into my carry-on. It's the easiest way to de-puff after a long flight.
The first thing I do when I get back to my apartment after a red-eye is throw on this frozen mask. It looks crazy but feels amazing and de-puffs instantly.
Sleep Health
The airport pillow options don't cut it anymore. I have zero regrets after investing in a luxe travel pillow.
Red-eye or not, this eye mask is a must for me. I'm hyper sensitive to anything I wear while I sleep, but I barely notice this silky eye mask.
When I want to zen out, I reach for this supplement.
