10 Must-Have Products To Store In Your Car

Having products in cars that are useful and necessary while in a pinch is great to have. Planning ahead and choosing these health and beauty products that are convenient and easy to store in the car can make life much easier. Here are 10 must-have products to store in your car!

1. Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is a must-have product to store in the car. Not only will it help you stay healthy, but it is also a great way to refresh your hands throughout the day.

There are multiple different hand sanitizers to choose from-especially after the pandemic- but the preference is up to you. There are gel, cream, foam, spray, and hand sanitizer wipes all available.  

Personally, I think using the Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer is the best fit to store in the car. Storing products in cars can be risky at times! The Touchland Power Mist Hand Sanitizer will help with avoiding spills and keeping the application quick and convenient.

It is important to remember that keeping hand sanitizer out of direct sunlight is recommended. Storing the hand sanitizer in a car door shelf or glove box will help with this. 

2. Facial Mist

A good quality facial mist can really give your skin an extra boost of hydration. Having a facial mist product in your car is a convenient way to give your skin the refreshment that it needs while on the go. 

Most facial mists have a variety of purposes. The Mario Badescu Facial Mist is formulated with a variety of herbal extracts. This formula will primarily help with keeping skin hydrated.

After spraying this product onto your face, the Mario Badescu Facial Mist will make facial skin feel moistened and comfortable. In addition to this hydration, this facial mist will also create a more dewy makeup look once applied. So, if your makeup is looking dull and needs a quick freshen up, this will help. 

Another facial mist option is toner. The Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Mist does a lot of the same treatment as the Mario Badescu Facial Mists. The Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Mist will hydrate and set your makeup while correcting color complexion and soothing irritated skin as well. 

Both the Mario Badescu Facial Mists and the Thayers Witch Hazel Facial Mist are made in travel-size bottles, making it perfect to store the products in cars. Keeping the scents of the products that are specifically formulated for hydration and the sizes smaller for easier storage in the car is the best option!

3. Handscreen

While in the car, your hands receive a lot of sun exposure. It is important to protect your hands against sun damage. Having a sunscreen that is formulated for hand skin is a great product to store in the car. This will ensure that your hands are protected and nourished while driving. 

The brand Supergoop! has a sunscreen that is specifically formulated for hands. This is a fast-absorbing product that guarantees your hands won’t become greasy or slick when driving. Supergoop! is also formulated with natural ingredients like fruit extracts and natural oils which will make your hands have smooth and healthy skin.  

In addition to these positive ingredients, Supergoop! also has created a large size of Supergoop! Handscreen to conveniently fit into the average size car cupholder. This size helps keep sunscreen products in cars have easy storage and guarantees that they will not be forgotten before driving.

If preferred, smaller packaging is available to buy if you are in need of taking it with you in your handbag or backpack. 

4. Perfume

Having perfume to do a quick refresh before going out for dinner or drinks is a must-have product in cars. The perfume product of choice is up to you but looking into travel-size perfume bottles is a good idea. It is essential that the perfume has a secure cap to ensure that no leaks occur in the car. 

For car use, having a travel size roll-on perfume is great. This size of a product will result in easier storage options. I would recommend purchasing an item such as the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Rollerball. This perfume is a rollerball perfume which means quick application in the car. 

If you’re in a situation where you already have several purchased perfumes that you really like and you don’t want to spend money on travel-sized perfume bottles, looking into portable perfume containers is another great option.

The VONOVO store offers Portable Mini Refillable Atomizer Bottle Travel Size Bottles. This will offer a great way to fill your own travel-size perfume bottles with your purchased perfume bottles without hassle. 

5. Wrinkle Releaser

While on the go, clothes are prone to become wrinkled. Having a wrinkle releaser in your car is great to have in case your clothes need a quick refresh before work or a night out on the town. 

The Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus is a great choice for a wrinkle releaser. The product is stored in travel-sized bottles. With this size convenience, the Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus does more than just remove wrinkles. This product will also work as an odor eliminator and static remover. This multi-functional product makes it even a better choice to store in the car. 

Another product option for a wrinkle releaser is the Laundress Crease Release. If you are looking for a more eco-friendly option, Laundress Crease Release is that! Travel-size bottles of Laundress Crease Release are available for purchase. This product is also allergen free and removes moderate wrinkles on a variety of different materials. 

6. Stain Remover

Thinking of which products in cars to store can be hard to think of. A stain remover is a product that is not thought of often but, is beyond convenient to have stored in your car! 

The Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover is great for this need. While not containing bleach, this convenient pen-shaped product will remove many different stain sources. The most common stains that this product claims it will remove are coffee, wine, ketchup, and fruit juices. 

Another car stain remover option is the Shout Stain Remover Wipes. Like the Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover, the Shout Stain Remover Wipes remove many different types of stains. Along with this, the wipes are individually packed which makes them a great product to store in a car in an organized matter.

7. Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoo is a great way to revive your hair while in the car. Storing dry shampoo products in cars will help improve hair’s texture, look, and smell while on the go. There are many different travel-sized options of dry shampoo that you can purchase that will work great to store in your car. 

The Living Proof Dry Shampoo is formulated with an absorbing powder that will soak up unclean oils in your hair guaranteeing a fresh retouch. The fragrance in this dry shampoo also works as a time-release. This function ensures that a fresh scent will stay with you throughout the day after your use. Lastly, it is color safe and vegan which makes it safe for all to use! 

8. Makeup Wipes

Having makeup wipes packed in your car allows another way to freshen up after being in the car. While a facial mist will nourish your skin and act as a setting spray for your makeup, makeup wipes will act more as an on-the-go cleanser for your skin. 

The AMIIR 100s Jar Makeup Remover Wipes is great for car storage due to their packaging. The makeup wipes are set in a jar and are packed as circular one-use wipes. The makeup wipes are formulated with natural plant ingredients which makes them great for all skin types. Additionally, the makeup remover wipes away all makeup present, even waterproof mascara. 

Another option to store in your car is Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelette Singles. This product in the car is great to use because they are singular wrapped towelettes. Similar to the AMIIR 100s Jar Makeup Remover Wipes, Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelette Singles remove makeup, dirt, and oils.

9. Chapstick

The use of having chapstick isn’t something that needs to be explained. With that being said, it can be hard to store a chapstick product in a car that will not be ruined from the various weather conditions that it may go through. Chapstick brands have items that can be stored products in cars that won’t leak or be damaged by temperature changes. 

The Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment is a smart option. The packaging of this chapstick is secured with a screwtop cap ensuring that it doesn’t melt or get messy while being used in a variety of temperatures. In addition to the packaging convenience, this chapstick is formulated for intense long-lasting moisture. 

10. Hand Cream

With your hands being most likely to become dry and cracked, having products in cars such as hand cream can help keep your hands healthy. The brand of hand cream to store in your car is up to you. If you have specific preferences or needs, finding that product in a travel-size container is great for in-car storage. 

I would recommend using the Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream. This product is for intense hydration. Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream is also fast-absorbing. This formula will ensure that your hands do not become greasy while in the car.
