7. Eye Mask
No travel list would be complete without including an eye mask! We like to use Globetrek Eye Mask (which comes with earplugs too!) to relax in style and get some much needed shut-eye while flying. Hotels also tend to have thinner curtains and a mask is the perfect accessory to help block out any sunlight coming through!
We also have to mention CS Beauty Gel Eye Mask is a must-have for after hot days at the pool, bathing on the beach, or adventuring around the town. This gel mask can be popped in the fridge to help you cool down and feel relaxed. It’s also great for reducing any puffiness (from tiredness, hayfever, travelling etc) and can also relieve tension from headaches and sinus pressure.
