How can you create a personal toiletries list?

Create a personal toiletry list for a hospital stay, vacation or any other time you need to be away from home for awhile. List items to care for your teeth, skin and hair, as well as individualized items such as menstrual products or makeup.

1. List your oral care items

   Put your toothbrush, floss, mouthwash and toothpaste first on your list. Even if these items are available where you are staying, they may not be of the same quality that you are accustomed to.

2. List your skin care items

   List your entire skin care product line that you use on a daily basis. This includes face wash, body wash, toners and lotions, as well as any special overnight moisturizers or masks.

3. Take care of your hair

   Include all the names of your hair care products on the list. This includes your shampoo, conditioner, styling sprays, brushes and combs.

4. Choose personal toiletries

   Add personal items such as sanitary napkins or tampons to your personal toiletry list. This could also include leakage protective undergarments or special deodorizers for underarm or intimate use.

5. Add on extras

   Add individual personal toiletries to the end of the list. This includes cosmetics, perfume, cologne, lip balm or a specific antiperspirant.
