Posted by Juliette Lac on

Before Travel

  1. Prepare Your Skin:
    Start by ensuring your skin is in good condition before your trip. This includes exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and moisturizing to hydrate your skin.

  2. Pack Wisely:
    Choose travel-sized skincare products and pack them in a clear, resealable bag to comply with airline regulations. Don't forget essentials like cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and lip balm.

  3. Stay Hydrated:
    Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your trip to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

  4. Protect Your Skin:
    If you're traveling to a sunny destination, pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.

  5. Get Plenty of Rest:
    Adequate rest before your trip can help ensure your skin looks its best.

After Travel

  1. Cleanse Your Skin:
    After a long day of traveling, cleanse your skin to remove dirt, oil, and impurities that may have accumulated during your journey.

  2. Moisturize:
    Hydrate your skin with a moisturizer to replenish lost moisture and keep your skin soft and supple.

  3. Rehydrate Your Body:
    Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body and skin after traveling.

  4. Relax and Rejuvenate:
    Treat yourself to a relaxing bath or facial mask to help your skin recover from the stresses of travel.

  5. Get Some Rest:
    Allow your body and skin to rest and recover from the journey by getting a good night's sleep.

By following these pre- and post-travel skincare tips, you can help keep your skin healthy and radiant throughout your journey.
