Traveling is thrilling, but it can wreak havoc on your skin. Different environments, changes in your routine, exposure to pollutants, lack of sleep, and travel-related stress can all contribute to dullness, dryness, and breakouts. Luckily, dermatologists have successfully learned how to keep their skin looking fresh and glorious no matter where they are.
Here are 10 dermatologist approved tips to keep your skin healthy while you're traveling.
1. Always Cleanse
After the day you've had, you may have justifiable reasons to skip the cleanse. However, it's a must! Cleansing removes dirt, pollution, and makeup buildup. Make sure you choose a gentle cleanser that maintains the skin's moisture barrier and does not strip your skin of its natural oils.
Tip: Try Albizzia's Cleansing Mousse, super light, non-drying formula that travels well too.
2. Bring a Hydrating Mist
Dry airplane cabins and long car rides can dry your skin very quickly. A mist continually hydrates, refreshes, calms, and gives your skin a quick boost of hydration while you travel without having to disrupt your makeup.
3. Don't Forget the SPF! (Even if You're Not Outside)
Although you may not be outside, either on long hikes or sightseeing, you are still experiencing the effects of UV rays, so make sure to apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 to your skin before leaving the hotel or resort, even if it looks cloudy.
4. Streamline Your Skincare Regime
Traveling is not an ideal time for a 10-step skincare regime. Keep the basics:
Cleansing Mousse
Brightening Serum
Anti-Ageing Cream
Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++
By keeping it simple, you can keep it consistent and limit skin reactions.
5. Have a Brightening Serum on Hand
Travel can cause jet lag, dullness from stress eating, and changes in environment. A brightening serum can perk up your skin and help balance the skin tone.
Albizzia’s Brightening & Correcting Serum is light and effective which is ideal for travel.
6. Use Multi-functional Products
Use multi-functional products to save room in your travel bag and save time!
Albizzia’s Age Reversal Elixir serves as both a moisturizer and an anti-aging serum, perfect for travel bags!
7. Skip the Hotel Toiletries
Hotel face washes and creams have harsh chemicals and/or synthetic fragrances. Stick with your regular skincare to get the least breakouts and dryness.
8. Hydrate From the Inside Out
When traveling for long periods you will lose water through your skin. Enjoy lots of water, and use a hydrating serum to lock in moisture and keep your skin barrier healthy.
9. Use Your Own Pillowcase or Travel Pillowcase
Hotel linens are laundered in potent detergents, which may irritate sensitive skin. Carrying along your own pillowcase or some sort of a cover will alleviate breakouts.
10. Do Not Short Ditch Sleep
Sleep is your skin's best friend helping with cell restoration, inflammation, and dark circles. Account for your sleep during travel, even if only a 15 minute nap.
