Vacation season is upon us, which means one thing: It's time to give your makeup bag a summer overhaul. Ditch the bulky palettes and compacts for all the grab-and-go kits, sets, and palettes that are basically made for travel. Whether you're taking a road trip or traveling across the world for an island getaway, these TSA-approved products will keep you looking like your beautiful self — no matter if you're struggling with jet lag, sunburn, or you name it.

Brandless — the super affordable, no-frills home and food line where everything costs just a few dollars — has ventured into beauty and we couldn't be happier. We especially love the Depuffing Eye Gel, $8, a blend of probiotics, caffeine, green tea, and pomegranate that smooths fine lines, reduces puffiness, and costs, mercifully, less than 10 bucks.

Let's cut right to the chase, shall we? If you're not yet using sunscreen every single day of the year, please start doing so, like, now. Contrary to popular belief, protecting your skin is a year-round event, and not something reserved solely for summer. Why, you ask? The sun produces both UVA and UVB rays. UVB, the ones responsible for burning your skin, are stronger during the summer, so yes, you likely won't get a sunburn in January. But UVA rays, those that cause signs of aging, such as fine lines, spots and sagging, are the same strength year-round and can penetrate through clouds and even glass. The bottom line: Your skin is susceptible 12 months out of the year — even when you're driving in your car or sitting indoors near a window. And along with all those unsightly effects we mentioned, the damage caused by UVA and UVB rays has a much more serious effect: skin cancer.

It may not seem like a big deal but transitioning your skin care routine from winter to summer can make all the difference between healthy, happy skin and feeling uncomfortable. For example, that heavy cream you've been slathering on your face was doing wonders for you through the cold and dry season, but with summer's heat and humidity it'll feel thick and overbearing. And while you may not have needed as much SPF since you were more covered up, splurging on a bigger bottle is def worth your trouble. We reached out to a handful of skin care experts who were eager to share their transitional tips that'll prepare your skin for summer, from head to toe.

Your favorite serums and moisturizers can only do so much — an effective skin care routine needs to be matched with a healthy and balanced diet for best results. So if you're not heavy on fruits and vegetables but love your skin, it might be time to make some dietary changes, so you can start working from within. And luckily for you, a lot of fresh produce options currently in season this spring happen to have wonderful benefits that will help you keep your skin radiant and healthy.
