Traveling during the summer can be an exhilarating experience, filled with new adventures, sights, and memories. However, it may cause issues for your skin due to climate changes, exposure to different pollutants, and irregular routines. To keep your complexion glowing on the go, it’s crucial to adapt your skincare routine to meet travel demands. Here are some tips to keep your skin healthy and radiant, no matter where your journey takes you.
Stay Hydrated
One of the most important aspects of skincare while traveling is staying hydrated. Traveling on an airplane, which has extremely low humidity, can dehydrate your skin. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight. Bring a reusable water bottle and refill throughout your trip. Hydrating your skin from the inside out is a fundamental step to maintaining its health.
Simplify Your Routine
Traveling usually means limited space and time, so it is important to simplify your skincare routine. Pack travel-sized versions of your essential products such as a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer, SPF, and a serum tailored to your skin’s needs. You can also opt for multi-use products, such as a tinted moisturizer containing SPF, to save space in your suitcase. The Daily Essentials Kit is the perfect kit for your summer travels!
Cleansing is Key
Proper cleansing is essential to remove dirt, sweat, and makeup accumulating on your skin during the day. Make sure to use a mild, non-drying cleanser such as our Purity Cleanser to wash your face at least twice a day.
Moisturize
Moisturizing is essential, especially when you are exposed to changing temperatures and climates. A good moisturizer will lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier. Some of our favorite options include ID Skin’s HA Peptide Serum, Liquid Oxygen Mist, and for dry lips, our Lip Nectar.
Never Skip Sunscreen
Sunscreen is non-negotiable, regardless of your destination. UV rays can penetrate clouds and even windows, causing skin damage and accelerating aging. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply every two hours.
Get Your Beauty Sleep
Travel can disrupt your sleep schedule, leading to tired and dull-looking skin. Aim to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night to allow your skin to repair and rejuvenate.
Maintain a Healthy Diet
What you eat can greatly impact your skin. Try to maintain a balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and proteins while traveling. Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and sugary foods, which can lead to breakouts and inflammation.
By following these tips, you can keep your skin looking fresh and radiant, no matter where your travels take you. Remember, the key to great skin is consistency and care, even when you’re far from home.
