Life on the road for the modern man is no joke. Busy lifestyles and demanding jobs have only increased and whilst we live in a digital, wireless age, lots of careers still have a calling for time away from home and hours spent on the motorway.

We may dream of travelling across the globe as children and seeing what the world has to offer but for many of us this has been swapped out with service stations and hotel rooms as we save for that next big holiday.

With this in mind we decided to create a Grooming travel essentials guide that isn’t for the festival goer but for the hard working gent doing his bit for the economy. Whether in the board room or the hotel room we feel it’s important to not only look your best but to feel it too.

Below are five essential items you need to get started on your journey. For good measure we’ve thrown in an extra one just for you.

Dove Men+ Care Antiperspirant

Starting slowly, antiperspirant is a product we are all familiar with (hopefully). The Titanium Dioxide contained means longer lasting protection and its moisturising properties reduces irritation from sweat. The compressed can contains the same amount of spray as traditional deodorants without taking up all of the space.

Ideal for thinning hair, the daily shampoo transforms the appearance and density of hair within just 2 weeks.
