Travel is exciting, but it can leave your skin feeling dry, dull, or irritated.
Whether you're flying for work or going on vacation, changes in weather, air pressure, and routine can affect your skin’s glow.
Here are some simple things that happen to your skin when you travel and easy ways to fix them.
1. Problem: Dry Skin From Airplane Air
Solution: Use a hydrating mist and thick moisturizer.
The air in airplanes is very dry and can pull moisture from your skin. Before your flight, apply a rich moisturizer and bring a small face mist in your bag. Spray it during the flight to keep your skin fresh.
2. Problem: Dull Skin From Lack of Sleep
Solution: Sleep and do a gentle face massage.
Jet lag and tiredness can make your skin look dull or tired. Try to rest during your trip. You can also massage your face using a few drops of facial oil to help your skin glow again.
3. Problem: Breakouts From New Food or Water
Solution: Eat clean and drink clean bottled water.
When you travel, your food and water change this can affect your digestion and lead to skin issues. Try to eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods like yogurt. Drink clean, bottled water as much as possible.
4. Problem: Irritation From Climate Change
Solution: Keep your routine simple and soothing.
New weather can shock your skin, especially in hot or very cold places. Stick to a basic skincare routine: gentle cleanser, hydrating serum or mist, and a calming moisturizer. Don’t try new products while traveling.
