Flying soon? Whether you're heading out or coming home, there's one thing you don't want to miss—travel beauty products. From hydrating skincare to makeup remover that fits in your carry-on, these bestsellers are going fast.

Good thing, you can shop them all online on Laneway, Melbourne Airport’s duty free shopping platform. It’s easy, fast, and means you won’t miss out on the good stuff. So what’s worth grabbing early? Here are the duty free beauty essentials smart travellers are snapping up right now.

Long flight? Your skin’s likely dehydrated, congested, or just feeling off. Hours in cabin air can mess with your moisture levels and leave skin feeling tight, tired, or uneven. These skincare essentials help you reset quickly, so you can feel fresh again fast.

Start with a proper cleanse with a cleansing balm or oil-based cleanser. Benefit and Kiehl’s have gentle cleansers that remove sunscreen, makeup, and buildup from hours in the air. Follow with a mist like Jurlique’s Rosewater Balancing Mist. It acts as a toner and gives dry skin an instant hydration boost. If your skin needs extra care, a nourishing face mask from Estée Lauder or Shiseido can help restore moisture before your next step.

To treat uneven skin, SK-II and Elizabeth Arden have serums with vitamin C and other brightening ingredients to target dark spots. Next, lock in moisture with a hydrator from Clinique. They have a lightweight moisturiser that restores hydration and helps skin bounce back fast.

For day use, an SPF50 sunscreen from Aesop adds hydration with high-level sun protection—ideal if you're landing in Australia and heading straight outdoors. Finish with an Endota lip balm to soothe dry lips.

After a long flight, a quick touch-up can help you feel more like yourself again. These makeup best-sellers are perfect to keep in your carry-on and easy to add to your beauty routine—whether you're freshening up mid-journey or heading straight to your next stop.

Start with a good base. Givenchy’s Le Soin Noir Serum Foundation blends skincare and coverage in one, giving your skin a smoother, more rested look. For extra coverage where you need it, add a lightweight MAC concealer to your travel kit to help with dark circles or redness after a long flight.

For colour and definition, Gucci’s Multi-Use Palette De Beauté Quatuor is a compact go-to. With powder and cream textures for blush, bronzer, and eyeshadow, it’s a space-saver that works across your whole face. Add a travel-friendly makeup brush from Guerlain or Lancome to keep your routine simple and mess-free.

Need a quick lift? Marc Jacobs' Fan Fest Mini Mascara builds volume without clumps, so you look more awake with just one swipe. Finish with a lip balm or a lipstick from Bobbi Brown for a little polish without the fuss.

Hair feeling flat or dry after your flight? You’re not the only one. Long hours in transit can throw your hair out of balance—especially when switching climates. That’s why travellers are picking up these hair care products on Laneway:

A shampoo and conditioner duo is an easy way to get your hair back to feeling clean and soft after landing. You’ll find travel-friendly options from brands like L’Occitane and Clarins—ideal for getting back into your routine.

If frizz is more your issue, EZZ’s Anti-Frizz Hair Spray is a duty free bestseller. It’s designed to smooth and protect your style, making it easier to manage your hair without starting from scratch. Want to keep things minimal? Look for items that come in a travel bottle so they’re easy to slip into your bag.

It’s also worth having hair brushes or a compact comb in your carry-on to help with quick fixes on the go. These are the beauty essentials travellers turn to when they want to feel like themselves again—no extra effort required.

Some things are just better sorted before you land. From skin-soothing body care to everyday essentials, these are the toiletries smart travellers are picking up duty free on Laneway:

Start with a proper cleanse. La Mer’s facial wash gently cleanses, leaving your skin clean but not stripped. To take it a step further, exfoliators like La Prairie’s Cellular Mineral Face Exfoliator helps smooth rough patches and boost absorption for the rest of your routine.

But for a quick full-body refresh, grab Ashley & Co’s gentle body wash made with goats milk and Mānuka. Next, remember to hydrate where it counts. Travellers swear by Clarins’ Extra-Firming Day Cream as both a facial moisturiser and a rich body lotion—great for when your skin’s feeling dry or tight after hours in the air.

Keep a hand cream like Endota Organics Signature Hand Therapy in your carry-on for dry hands during or after your flight. And for everyday freshness, Aesop’s Herbal Deodorant Roll-On is a solid pick. It’s lightly scented, compact, and easy to keep in your travel kit.
