9 Low-Key Face Masks You Can Wear Comfortably While Traveling

In an era where the mantra is “If you didn’t Instagram it, it doesn’t exist,” holographic peels, glittery creams, and rubbery sheet masks are the superstars of skin care. Sure, we get a kick out of wearing borderline-obnoxious masks while we travel, but we need just as many options for those moments when we want to keep it low-key.

If you’re on an hours-long red-eye flight or braving the highway for a days-long road trip, these unsung heroes not only get the job done, they’re also transparent enough that you can feel comfortable wearing them without getting long, unwanted stares. From instant cooling formulas to an overnight fruit-infused gel, these are the ones that definitely deserve real estate in your suitcase.
