Skin tips for when you travel!

travel

Traveling is an incredible opportunity to explore new destinations and try different cultures. But amidst all the excitement, your skin might need some extra care to keep it looking and feeling its best.

Here are some tips to maintain that healthy glow while on the go:

Spritz on a Facial Mist

Airplane cabins, fluctuating weather, and jet lag can leave your skin feeling parched. A travel-sized facial mist can be a lifesaver, providing an instant hydration boost wherever you are.

Look for mists containing ingredients like aloe vera, rose water, or hyaluronic acid for added moisture. Plus, a quick spritz feels incredibly refreshing!

Keep Your Lips Hydrated

Just like your skin, your lips can dry out faster while traveling, so don’t forget to pack lip masks, balms, or serums. Opt for a lip balm with SPF protection if you’re heading to a sunny destination, and choose one with a hint of colour for a little extra fun.

Pack Makeup Wipes

While daily use of makeup wipes might not be ideal, they’re a convenient option when traveling. They’re perfect for a quick refresh on the go, especially when you’re short on time. Be sure to choose wipes that are gentle on the skin and free from harsh chemicals to avoid irritation.

Decant Your Favourite Products

Instead of purchasing travel-sized products, invest in reusable travel containers and fill them with your go-to skincare and haircare items. This way, you can stick to your trusted routine without relying on whatever is available in the travel section. And if your favorite brand offers travel sizes, grab those too!

Adjust Your Skincare Routine

Different climates and environments can impact your skin, so it’s important to adjust your skincare routine accordingly. If you’re headed to a humid destination, consider packing lighter, oil-free moisturizers. For colder locations, opt for richer creams to combat dryness. Pay attention to how your skin responds, and be ready to switch things up as needed.

Don’t Skip the SPF

No matter where you’re going, always pack sunscreen and make sure to apply it, even on travel days. Sun protection is essential, regardless of your destination.

Simplify Your Routine

Since you’re on holiday, consider using this time to give your skin a break. Pair down your routine and let your skin breathe—this could also save you some luggage space! Leave behind products like acids and retinols, particularly if you’re traveling to a sunny spot, as these can increase sun sensitivity. A short break from these products won’t hurt, and your skin might even thank you for it.

Embrace your travels with confidence, knowing that your skin is well-cared for. Enjoy every moment of your trip, and let your natural beauty shine through.
