Cream of the crop:

( Glenn Koenig, Los Angeles Times )

If living in SoCal's humidity-free zone weren't enough, flying will sap the last ounce of moisture from your skin. Packing cream is imperative, but if you're a carry-on bagger, a tube must be less than 3 ounces, the Transportation Security Administration says. Enter Tiny Hands, by Lush, which offers a solid facial serum and a hand serum, both of which can be carried in a tin. The 0.7-ounce facial serum contains Portobello mushroom extract and camomile tea. If that's not your cuppa, the 2.1-ounce hand serum smells (strongly, be warned) of vanilla and marigold. Smooooth.

Info: Hand serum $8.95; facial serum $14.95, http://www.lushusa.com
