10 Skin care essentials for your next Trip
1. Carry Facial Wipes or Towelettes
If you don’t want to carry a facial cleanser or use the cleanser provided by the hotel, pre-moistened facial wipes or makeup removing towelettes are your best option. Carry them in a ziplock bag. You can use them anywhere – in the airplane, while traveling in a bus or car, while sitting at the beach, or in your hotel room.
Make sure to carry good-quality facial wipes.
2. Carry A Facial Mist Spray
This is a must-have for everyone! Whether you are on a weekend trip or a long vacay, never forget to carry a facial mist. It is hydrating and will keep your skin refreshed throughout your trip. When you spritz it on your face, you add moisture to your skin. This is especially helpful if you have dry and combination skin or if you are traveling to a colder climate.
3. Carry Your Favorite Facial Cleanser
A facial cleanser is more important than your serums and under eye creams. A daily cleanser makes sure that at the end of the day, your skin is devoid of dirt, pollution, and impurities. Unclean skin is a strict no-no wherever you are!
4. Don’t Forget Moisturizer
A good face moisturizer helps maintain your skin’s health. It keeps your skin hydrated, which prevents breakouts and skin issues caused by excessive dryness. Remember to moisturize your skin before you board your flight. The air inside planes is drying and can damage your skin.
5. Don’t Ditch SPF
Ask anyone which product they can’t do without, and they will tell you the secret – a good sunscreen. Sunscreen goes a long way in taking care of your skin and the way it looks.
6. Pack Some Sheet Masks
Sheet masks don’t take any extra space in your luggage and are great for your skin. These treatment-soaked papers can be an excellent alternative for the serums and special creams that you will miss while traveling.
7. Avoid Touching Your Face Often
Keeping your hands off your face helps minimize breakouts. Strictly abide by this rule when traveling. This is because you might pick up unknown bacteria that can cause multiple skin issues. Wash your hands with an antibacterial hand wash or sanitizer as much as possible.
8. Skip Makeup
Whether you are about to board your flight or check out some tourist spots, makeup is a strict no-no. Many prefer using a tinted moisturizer while traveling, but it is better to stick to your daily day cream and SPF to let your skin breathe. This is because the changing weather conditions and atmosphere may cause your skin to break out.
9. Carry a Good Eye Cream
If you are constantly battling eye puffiness, carry a good under-eye cream with you. As an alternative, you may also wrap crushed ice in a washcloth (if you don’t have an ice pack) and apply it on your eyes. This will rejuvenate your eyes immediately.
10. Don’t Compromise On Your Beauty Sleep
Not getting enough sleep while traveling can make your skin more prone to issues. So, try to get a good night’s sleep even when you are traveling.
We hope you all see the value of maintaining a skin care routine even while not at home. We have included some travel skin care tips to help you stay healthy while on the road. Bring all of your skin care items in a pouch that you can readily access from your carry-on or travel luggage to make this procedure easier. If capacity is limited, pack your cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen at the very least. It is not true that skin care is vital when you are resting at home. It is, however, needed if you are planning a long journey.
