Wine country. The Hamptons. Provence. Regardless of where you plan on taking a getaway to this fall, one thing is certain: To make the most of those glorious 72-ish hours, your packing game has to be on point—including what you put in your dopp kit.

Besides staples like a toothbrush and razor, though, what else you bring along will probably change depending on where you touch down. To make sure you don’t forget the essentials, we paired a few possible weekend escapes with location-specific grooming products to throw in your bag before you go. That way, you'll be prepared for whatever might be thrown your way when you get there.

You can thank us when you get back.

The Trip: Even though summer’s on the outs, you refuse to give up on getting in some quality beach time before winter arrives. So you’re headed somewhere you'll find sun up above and sand between your toes (a.k.a. California, or anywhere coastal and south of the Mason-Dixon line).

The Essentials: Nothing incredibly surprising here, but even though it’s late in the season, sunblock is still key. (If only so that your co-workers don’t scowl too hard at your tan when you return.) Grab some designer deodorant, too, like this new stick by Tom Ford. Because where there’s heat, there’s sweat.

The Trip: With fall just starting to get good, you’re itching to get a firsthand look at some technicolor foliage. Good thing you booked a stay at that place upstate.

__The Essentials:__Regardless of how luxe your accommodations might be, it’s never a bad idea to stock up on bug spray when you’re staying in the woods. Because mosquitos suck, pun very much intended. Another solid idea: Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soap. It’s all-natural and biodegradable, so if you decide to head out hiking, you can wash your face in a river and not feel guilty.

The Trip: Whether you’re on your way to the North Fork or Napa, nothing’s more relaxing, or romantic, than a few nights at a vineyard.

The Essentials: First off, be sure to pack aspirin and some form of electrolyte replenisher, like LyteShow. (Wine hangovers are just the worst.) Also, bring only regular toothpaste. Because it turns out when you're trying to prevent “red wine teeth,” whitening toothpaste actually works against you since it leaves your chompers porous in the process.

The Trip: The jet-setter that you are, you find a quick jaunt across the Atlantic perfect for a Friday night. (Even if you do have to be back by Monday.) London, Paris, the Alps; you're on your way wherever your inner pilot wants, really.

The Essentials: Rejuvenating eye cream to perk up the jet-lagged skin around your eyes. Infused with green tea and oxygen, this serum from Task Essential is one great choice. Alternatively, you could bring along some sleep meds for the plane and cut tired eyes off at the pass.

The Trip: Despite everyone and their mother telling you to move on, you’re really not ready for summer to be over. Which is why you’re on your way to Mexico.

The Essentials: Besides what we mentioned above for any other beach weekend, it might also be a good idea to grab some face wipes, like these by Ursa Major. That way, even if the weather (or the food) has you sweating through your shirt, your face can look refreshed at a moment’s notice. On that note, it also couldn’t hurt to pack some Pepto. You know, just in case.

The Trip: The North American ski mountains first open for the season in early November. And day job be damned, you’re going to be there to celebrate.

The Essentials: The key here is avoiding wind- and sunburn at all costs. Buckler’s Chapped Lip Remedy will provide all the requisite moisture, plus a touch of SPF, to keep chapped lips at bay. Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer will do the same for your face.
