Holidays are times of fun, friends, and family. We leave the routine behind and engage in exciting adventures with our loved ones. As much as our souls need to be free on holidays, one habit should not be left behind: the skincare protection routine. Whether you party all night on the beach with friends or enroll on an adventurous hike, your skin needs to feel comfortable and healthy-looking. Neora's specialists summed up a few details you should pay attention to when travelling.
What to do on the road for a healthy-looking skin
Travelling may also imply some less scheduled days, and you may be tempted to leave your routine behind for some free time. However, your skin may not be that happy. As travelling also means living out of a suitcase for a limited period, the space available for skin care products is also limited.
Here is some advice from our specialists.
Plan ahead
Check the weather and adapt your skincare routine to the environment condition of the destination. You can use a shield cream for cold areas or a UV protection cream for sunny beach days. The important thing is to pay attention not to damage your natural skin barrier and protect your face from new environmental stressors.
Also, prepare your skin for travelling. Do a full skincare routine a day ahead including exfoliation with a gentle face scrub, hydration mask, and other treatments if necessary, and finish with a night moisturizing and repairing cream. This procedure gets rid of the dead cells and allows the moisturizing ingredients from the cream or mask to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Moisturize inside and out
Hydrate your body with water and eat fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants. They will help your body adapt faster to the new conditions at your destination and also fight the travelling stress. Your skin needs extra hydration too. Pack a moisturizing cream, like Age IQ® Night Cream that acts as an antioxidant, and help your skin look fresh and healthy. For extra care, add some eye moisturizing patches to protect your sensitive skin under your eyes.
Adapt your moisturizing products to the environment you are travelling in, or the skin type. Damaged skin can benefit from a product with hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate ingredients that help bind moisture to your skin. If you are travelling in hot summer weather or humid climates, then water-based products may be more suitable since they offer a lighter and refreshing feeling. If you have a dry skin type or you are travelling in colder weather, then choose products containing ingredients like shea butter.
Most Neora’s skincare products are suitable for a cabin bag, so don’t worry if you don't have a check-in bag. Don't try to transfer products in smaller containers. Most skincare products lose effectiveness if they are exposed to air.
Choose your essentials
When travelling days are not as planned as regular days, and you may find yourself with less time for routines involving multiple steps. Make sure you pack your essential products. You should not forget about the cleansing and a hydrating day and night cream as well as the UV protection. Many day creams have already included UV protection. If you are following a special treatment for redness, clogged pores or acne, then you need to pack those products too since they require consistency to maintain the desired results. Don't forget your sensitive areas around your eyes or lips and pack suitable products that will help bind in the moisture.
Facial masks, toners, or other large body products can stay at home. Since you are on holiday, you can indulge in a spa appointment at your destination anyway.
Whatever you choose for your skincare routine, make sure you adapt your products to all travelling constraints. Choose travel size products and keep the routine to essentials. A holiday is a time for fun and adventure, and you can enjoy that better if your skin feels comfortable and healthy.
