Only recently did I succumb to the necessity of toting around facial moisturizer in my travel toiletry kit. Perhaps it is all the flying, extended exposure to sun, or simply aging, but the wrinkles are starting to introduce themselves!

  • A Non-Oily, Vitamin-Rich Facial Moisturizer For Men.
  • Contains Vitamins C And E, Chestnut Extract And Soy.
  • Helps Revitalize Dull And Fatigued Skin.

So I was on the hunt for a non-oily facial moisturizer that was small enough to carry in my bag without making my face feel hot or sticky after applying it.

The residue that can be left after applying any lotion really bugs me so I was surprised to see that this product had none. It feels lightweight and has no floral scent meaning you can wear it anywhere.

When visiting any spa, I always ask a therapist’s opinion about Kiehl’s Facial Fuel lotion, and the response is almost always positive.

I really like the fact that Kiehl’s has boutiques in many airports and duty-free stores around the world. Many of them even have on-staff therapists that can recommend certain products for various skin types.

They are always happy to dole out some free samples so that people can test their products before making an investment in a whole tube or bottle.

While this is not the cheapest lotion you might typically find at a drugstore, it comes with high-quality ingredients, sturdy packaging, and a lost list of satisfied customers.

Among them are some high-end hotels that are beginning to stock them in their bathrooms, and now Delta Air Lines, which is offering them in their business class amenity kits.

The packaging says that this lotion is designed to resist the effects of environmental stress on your skin. This lotion is designed for men’s skin, which is thicker than women’s.

It is great to apply before being in the sun (it contains SPF 15), but I typically apply it at night before I go to bed. The company even recommends to keep the lotion in the fridge for a nice cooling and tingling sensation when applying it.

Kiehl’s travel-sized version of this lotion is 2.5 ounces meaning it has no problem passing the watchful eye of TSA at airports. It retails for $25 at Kiehl’s website or on Amazon.
