If you're only traveling for a few days this holiday season, chances are you don't really need to pack full-size versions of the skin-care and body-care products in your bathroom vanity and shower. Plus, if you also plan on packing clothes, shoes, and gifts for your loved ones, you probably won't be able to fit all those products in a single carry-on suitcase anyway.

While you could use whatever products are in Aunt Carol's bathroom or travel with multiple bags, we think a better packing solution is to invest in some reliable beauty minis.

Ahead, find 10 travel-size skin-care and body-care products we suggest adding to your shopping cart (and, of course, your suitcase) this season.
