what's actually happening
Travel is the one situation where you use products you didn't pick.
Hotel shampoo. Whatever's in the bathroom at your cousin's. The sunscreen somebody hands you at the beach because you forgot yours. A week of pillowcases washed in a detergent you've never read, in a room where you don't control anything.
So bringing your own isn't being fussy. It's the only stretch of the year when the choice actually gets taken away from you, and packing four small things is how you take it back.
The rest is air. Cabin air is drier than almost anywhere you'll ever be, which is why you land looking like you haven't slept. Different water, different climate, and a routine that falls apart the second it doesn't fit in a bag.
Small sizes. Same products. Nothing new the week you're already off your rhythm.

Don't change it. Just shrink it. Then enjoy the view!

things worth doing
-
Pack your own, even for two nights.
-
Moisturize before you board, not after you land.
-
Take a pillowcase if you're staying a week. Sounds excessive. Isn't.
things you can stop
-
Buying a whole new travel routine. New products plus a new place is two variables.
-
Assuming there'll be something fine in the bathroom when you get there.
-
Skipping SPF on a travel day. Window seats get more sun than you'd think.
