Traveling takes its toll on the skin and means that you can neglect your beauty routine – especially if you have a long flight overseas or a hectic travel schedule which sees you rushing from place to place, leaving you wanting nothing more than to collapse into bed at the earliest opportunity. Additionally, the changes in climate and temperature can wreak havoc with the condition of your skin, such as drying it out.
Here is a helpful guide for taking better care of your skin during your travels.
Get Plenty of Sleep
Sleep is essential in taking care of your skin and giving your body the chance to recover and repair itself. Not only that, but lack of sleep can leave you with skin breakouts and the effects of tiredness evident all over your face.
If you have a long flight, think ahead to how you can most comfortably sleep on the plane and pack what you need to take with you. Or, try and schedule your flights around a more comfortable routine which means you can get enough sleep at home or in your accommodation at normal times which are familiar to your body clock.
Invest in Products You Can Count On
You may need to do your research into products more suited for your travel needs. You may require a different kind of moisturizer, or need to look at different brands available to you in different countries.
You could even switch to electronic products that can help you with your toning rather than liquids, in order to avoid liquid allowances at airports and therefore have an easier transition. NuFACE have a range of handy devices, such as toners, which can easily be stored in any luggage and taken around the world with you.
Skip Makeup Altogether
If you have a long haul flight and rigorous transport requirements to reach your destination, it’s a good idea to ditch the makeup altogether. A face full of makeup that stays on your skin for longer than usual will not do your skin or pores any favors. Especially if your flight is over 12 hours, your makeup may in fact have completely melted from your face by the time you arrive at your destination.
Another benefit is the fact you can then give your face a quick wash and jump straight into bed after your exhausting travels, rather than having to remove a full face of makeup!
Pack a Care Kit You Can Easily Carry with You
Whether you’re boarding a plane, train or driving a car, pack a small care kit you can easily store in your handbag, hand luggage or on your person. This saves you having to rummage in your packed luggage, or being separated from your items on a plane. This care kit can have simple freshening-up items in it, such as cleansing wipes, hydrating mist, and moisturizer. This means you can easily apply wherever you are, whenever you need it – even in your plane seat or in the plane bathroom.
