7 essential traveling skincare tips to keep track

1. Keep facial wipes or towels on hand, as well as a facial mist spray

Pre-moistened face wipes or makeup removal towelettes are your best alternative if you don't want to bring your own cleanser or utilize the cleanser provided by the hotel. Put them in a ziplock bag and carry them with you. They may be used anywhere: on a flight, in a bus or automobile, on the beach, or in your hotel room. Make sure you have some high-quality face wipes with you.

This is an absolute must-have for anyone! Never leave home without a face mist, whether you're going on a weekend getaway or a long vacation. It's moisturizing and will keep your skin looking great for the duration of your trip. You give moisture to your skin by spritzing it on your face. If you have dry or mixed skin or are traveling to a colder area, this is extremely beneficial.

2. Bring your favorite facial cleanser with you

Serums and under-eye creams are less vital than a face cleanser. A daily cleanser ensures that your skin is free of debris, pollutants, and impurities at the end of the day. A skin cleanser is a must.

3. Don’t Forget Moisturizer & Pack Some Sheet Masks

A good face moisturizer helps maintain your skin’s health. It keeps your skin hydrated, which prevents breakouts and skin issues caused by excessive dryness. Remember to moisturize your skin before you board your flight. The air inside planes is drying and can damage your skin.

Sheet masks don’t take any extra space in your luggage and are great for your skin. These treatment-soaked papers can be an excellent alternative for the serums and special creams that you will miss while traveling.

4. Skip Makeup & Don’t Ditch SPF

Whether you are about to board your flight or check out some tourist spots, makeup is a strict no-no. Many prefer using a tinted moisturizer while traveling, but it is better to stick to your daily day cream and SPF to let your skin breathe. This is because the changing weather conditions and atmosphere may cause your skin to break out.

Ask anyone which product they can’t do without, and they will tell you the secret – a good sunscreen. Sunscreen goes a long way in taking care of your skin and the way it looks.

5. Avoid Touching Your Face Often

Keeping your hands off your face helps minimize breakouts. Strictly abide by this rule when traveling. This is because you might pick up unknown bacteria that can cause multiple skin issues. Wash your hands with an antibacterial hand wash or sanitizer as much as possible.

6. Carry A Good Eye Cream

If you are constantly battling eye puffiness, carry a good under-eye cream with you. As an alternative, you may also wrap crushed ice in a washcloth (if you don’t have an ice pack) and apply it on your eyes. This will rejuvenate your eyes immediately.
