If you are planning on traveling this holiday season, or are simply looking for wonderful gifts for the travelers in your life, then these TSA compliant skincare singles and sets are perfect travel companions from three of my very favorite skincare lines. I never travel with full-size products, whether I travel by plane or by car, but I always pack products that I love using. Refillable containers  enable me to travel with my favorite products, and to refill them as needed.

Here are covet-worthy picks that I swear by:

African Botanics Wanderlust Travel Set ($110.00 from African Botanics, Net-A-Porter and Cult Beauty £67.50 Reviewed here): This TSA compliant travel set of ultra-luxe skincare products is a phenomenal choice. It offers the perfect introduction to African Botanics, and the gorgeous glass containers are easily refillable. The products are perfect for all skin types, and each one is an unmitigated delight to use.

According to African Botanics,

Experience South Africa and its beauty - the colours of the earth, raw textures and rare essences in this magnificent travel set. Each cosmetic bag is handwoven by men and women of individual homesteads in rural villages in the Kasaai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Features a two-week introduction to our African Marula Oil Ritual. Pure Marula Cleansing Oil removes makeup, sunscreen and pollution, while the Mineral Cleansing Mask deeply cleanses and refreshes fatigued skin, providing hydration, vitamins, and energy to your cells. Cold pressed, anti-aging Pure Marula Oil hydrates, softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, plumps and revitalizes your complexion. Marula Shimmering Gold Oil, light and airy in texture formulated for face, body and hair, captures and reflects the radiant splendour of glimmering African sunsets, beautifying with translucent mother of pearl minerals to illuminate skin and enhance its natural radiance.

Each of these gorgeous cosmetic bags is handwoven by men and women in rural villages in the Kasaai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and therefore no two are alike. Traditionally woven textiles, which are never mass produced, are made with great care and attention to detail, and these keepsakes are sure to be treasured by the recipient.

The cosmetic bag is, "a flat weave that is woven from the raffia Vinafera palm which grows wild and is endemic to the tropical region on a double heddle hand loom and takes between 3 and 4 months to weave, mostly for a few hours in the evenings after work in the fields has been done for the day. The symbols are all representative of the makers life and tells the story of birth, marriage, harvest, children, cattle and ceremonies. The purchase of this fabric supports the weavers and artisans of this age old tradition as well as the artisans who make up the finished product in South Africa."
