7 Portable Clean Beauty Essentials To Keep in Your Bag
A few years ago (okay, fine, maybe more than a few) makeup blotting sheets were the most novel thing we’d toss in our bag for a day at the office or a weekend with friends. And we’re not going to knock our anti-shine solution of days past, but beauty has come a long way. We never imagined we’d be able to take on the world confidently with a tote full of skincare saviors, texture enhancers and clean beauty all-stars like the ones we're about to share. Celebrate the evolution of clean beauty by dropping these feel-good, look-good essentials in your favorite fall bag. Which of these are you never leaving home without again?
SolaWave Advanced Skincare Wand
Upgrade your skincare game with a 4-in-1 tool that boasts an impressive list of benefits. Microcurrents help promote skin cell turnover, while red light therapy and therapeutic warmth help to speed healing. Facial massage can help sculpt and lift contours. This magic wand slips discreetly into your bag and can be whipped out on a whim (just make sure your skin is hydrated). It's sort of like having your aesthetician in your pocket. @ber_amos admits that a quick facial and glowing skin makes her day that much better.

Ghost Democracy Peptide-Packed Dewy Toning Mist
There's no questioning that hydrated skin looks and feels healthier. But when you're on the go, it's not easy to keep that refreshed, dewy glow we all crave. This nourishing toning mist leverages skin-loving ingredients like (Vitamin B3 and blue-green algae extract) to help promote a plump, evenly toned appearance. Keep this toning mist close at hand for spritzing in the office, on the plane or in between video calls. @Lindsey shows us just how easy it can be.

French Girl Organics Rose Lip Polish
Dry, cracked, peeling lips aren't fun. Unfortunately for some of us, they're a cold hard fact of the chilly weather setting in. Luckily, this lush lip polish exists — and it's compact enough to bring everywhere. Treat your pout to an exfoliation session with ingredients that sound good enough to eat: butter, sugar, beet juice powder and mint are just a few of the players in this plumping cocktail. @lyndsayreyes is on a crusade against cracked lips — and considers this polish an obsession.
Kosas Wet Lip Oil Gloss
While we're talking lips, we can't leave out this head-turning favorite. Our next portable pick is ideal if you love creating a juicy, wet look with your glosses and tints (yum). Rest assured, however, that this coat of color delivers on more than a feeling of photo-readiness. It's also packed with rejuvenating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides that plump and hydrate as you wear it. @madisonrussell officially declared these glosses a favorite, and we can't argue.

OH.SO After Sun
You're on track for your recommended eight glasses of water today (right?) but are you forgetting to give your skin the same treatment? The truth is, your skin can feel the burn of sun damage and inclement weather wear long after you pack away your beach bag. Toss this hydrating, healing spray in your fall carry-on to soothe away the day's stress. Aloe, lavender and spearmint soothe the senses. @lindsey considered this one of her summer essentials, and we're keeping it in our bags for fall, too.

This bring-everywhere beauty tool mimics the effects of a professional facial massage with sonic vibrational technology. It helps to define your facial contours as it relaxes muscles and melts away tension. @meredithmckernan uses it to "depuff" when her face feels swollen.
