Traveling is an exciting experience that allows us to explore new places and cultures. However, it can also take a toll on our skin health, especially if we are not prepared. Skin is susceptible to changes in weather, environment, disruptions in routine, and diet after trips. To keep your skin healthy during your travels, it’s important to take some precautions before you leave.
One of the most important things to do is stop using products containing ingredients like retinoids and salicylic acid a few days before your trip. These ingredients can cause skin dryness and sensitivity to sunlight, which can be harmful while traveling. Instead, focus on moisturizing your skin regularly with a good quality moisturizer that will help prevent dehydration from the dry air during travel.
It’s also essential to carry a basic skin care bag with essentials like sunscreen, moisturizer, mineral spray, makeup remover, and cleanser. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for advice on suitable products based on the climate and environment of your destination. When applying sunscreen, remember to cover your entire body, not just your face, and reapply every 2-3 hours, especially after sweating or swimming.
In addition to taking care of your face while traveling, it’s also crucial to take care of the skin on your feet. Keep them moisturized by applying lotion regularly and change them regularly to prevent fungal infections.
Finally, staying hydrated is key when traveling. Drink plenty of water throughout your trip to maintain skin moisture and overall health. Filtered water is preferable over sugary or alcoholic drinks as they can dehydrate the skin further.
