Frequent travel can certainly take its toll on your skin, so much so that I resort to not shaving daily unless it is necessary for a meeting.

Dry cabin air and foreign climates can wreak havoc, which is why I have started using the Bliss Micro Magic Microderm Abrasion Treatment as part of my travel ritual.

When it is time to shave (I use am electric razor), I have found that Somersets English Shaving Oil is great with my skin for smoothing the glide of the razor. At first, I was worried that it would clog my razor, but there is no foam or icky residue.

It means that the razor glides more comfortably across my face (especially when it has been a few days in between shaves). That is in part to the moisturizing, natural plant and essential oil that is meant to lubricate your skin for an extra-close shave.

The oil containing a blend of chamomile, tea tree and primrose is supposed to reduce razor bumps, in-grown hair, and irritation, which is especially helpful for those with heavy, thick stubble. Its ingredients are 100% natural with no harsh chemicals that can leave your face feeling itchy or dry.

The bottle comes in a small container (half an ounce) that fits within the TSA guidelines and can last for quite awhile on long journeys given that each shave only needs three small drops for effective coverage. Even after shaving, the remaining oil continues to soothe your skin.

A blast of cooling menthol is just the icing on the cake. One thing that really gets me is shaving and then walking outside on a hot day as it can be really uncomfortable, but the menthol in this oil really helped. Both facial washes and shaving oils retail for $15 on Somersets website or on Amazon.
