Skincare tips on holiday

Between flying, sun exposure, air conditioning, and different temperatures, your skin can have a tough time while travelling. With travel back on the cards, here are a few skincare tips to keep in mind on your next trip.

Pack smart
Before you start packing, take some time to get organised and invest in some travel-sized containers. These are helpful to keep you on track with your usual skincare, without having to account for extra space for all of your full-sized products. This way, no serum is left behind.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
The air conditioning on planes is different to what we’re used to, and it can easily dry your skin. As well as this, plane air is recycled and pressurised, which can be a shock for your skin. Moisturiser will be your best friend before, after, and during long flights. The best tip is before and during a flight, drink plenty of water to keep moisture in your body.

Stay cool and calm
Travelling can lead to stress, especially prior to a big trip or while working your way through customs and transits. Between travel stress and the dry air on planes, your skin can become irritated and inflamed. Aside from staying hydrated, try wearing lighter makeup that won’t irritate your skin or no makeup all together. Using calming skincare products or a relaxing sheet mask on the plane goes along way too.

Stick to what you know
You don’t get a holiday from your skincare routine if you want to keep your skin looking healthy. Be sure you’ve packed the necessary steps in your regimen and use the products as you normally would at home. If you stick to your routine, you can keep your skin as calm as possible.
