Traveling is a kind of adventure that allows you to visit and explore new destinations, experience different cultures and above all, create memories that stay for a lifetime.

Having said that, one aspect we tend to neglect while on the go is our skincare routine, even though we are well aware that we need to take more care of our skin while away from home.

So if your travel calendar is filled with flights across the globe or never-ending summer cruise vacations from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, FL, you can take these time-tested skin beauty tips and tricks with you, to combat any climate or altitude.

Step 1: Skin care begins before travel

One of the most important lessons on skin care to learn while traveling is that the procedure should start well before stepping out of the home.

Prior to any trip, pay special attention to incorporate hydrating products that can tackle the low-humidity environment inside ships and planes.

Nourish the skin as much as possible before you set out so that it can retain as much moisture as possible by double cleansing the face and applying a hydrating toner on wet skin.

Follow with a nourishing serum which has hyaluronic acid to provide the skin with an added layer of moisture so that it does not dry out during travel.

Step Two: Hydrate adequately

No matter where you are going or how long you will be on the move, make sure to drink plenty of water before you leave. This is because a low humidity environment can lead to dehydration as the body tends to lose moisture quickly.

To prevent sluggishness, drink a litre or two of water before the trip
begins. If your travel time is long, add a hydration multiplier to your drink to tank up on electrolytes which include great ingredients like ginger extract and amino acid to kick fatigue and calm the nerves.

You can also bring a sheet mask that you can pop on during the trip, to instantly refresh the skin with its mineral rich water, aloe vera and a blend of other ingredients to keep your skin dewy and glowing.

Step Three: Adjust skincare routine as per your destination

Different climates, altitudes and environments can have a varying effect on the skin which makes it important to follow a skin care regimen according to the destination.

When it comes to keeping the skin healthy and happy at any destination, you will find that altering the care routine is the saving grace.

For instance, if you are traveling to a high humidity environment, it is advisable to carry lightweight and non-comedogenic products which are able to prevent excess oil production and frequent breakouts.

On the other hand, when going to a dry and cold climate, it is best to incorporate rich moisturisers and hydrating serums to protect the skin barrier and tackle dryness. As always, carry your SPF, no matter how or where you are headed.
