Lightweight and flexible, this patented product reduces neck and shoulder strain, while providing a “lifting sensation by temporarily supporting the weight of your head”, says global spa expert Sylvia Sepielli. pharmaca.com
Oligomer Pure Sea Water Bath
Oligomer means “little sea,” aptly named for this bath powder that’s derived from freeze-dried desalinated seawater concentrate. Ideal to use the evening before you fly or the evening you arrive at your destination, one packet poured into your tub delivers important trace elements that help prevent cellular fatigue. | lespausa.com

Amala Relax Lavender Concentrate
Renowned for its deeply relaxing qualities, lavender is the go-to scent to have on hand when traveling. Stash this rollerball (with lavender harvested in the south of France) in your bag for a quick fix, and simply apply to temples, neck and wrists. Breathe deeply and enjoy. | amalabeauty.com
Bucky 40 Blinks Sleep Mask
A travel essential and one of the best eye masks around, this light-blocking mask has clever, deep-molded cups for superior comfort. You can blink freely and if you’re wearing eye makeup, you won’t have to worry about smudging. These are smudge proof and come in a variety of basic solid colors and pretty prints. bucky.com
ESPA 24-Hour Skin Saviour
An all-in-one product that may be used on face (dry lips!) and body, this little miracle tube contains skin-softening shea butter, manuka and tamanu oils, as well as evening primrose to deliver a skin-rescuing wallop of natural goodness. It’s also beneficial for protecting the skin from the woes of urban environments, as well as from sunburn and windburn. | us.espaskincare.com
White + Warren Cashmere Wrap & Slippers
Nothing says comfort quite like a cashmere wrap and slippers. White + Warren’s Cashmere Travel Wrap measures a generous 81” x 36” and is available in a variety of classic colors— gray, black, white, beige and navy—although we’re partial to the vibrant dragon-fruit hue. whiteandwarren.com
