According to experts, beauty and travel go hand in hand. Women can enhance their beauty while enjoying vacations with the following tips.
1. Hydrate Your Skin
Apply a high-intensity moisturizer the night before traveling to ensure your skin stays hydrated amidst the dehydrating effects of airplane cabin air.
2. Skip the Foundation
Opt for tinted moisturizer instead of foundation to achieve a fresh and natural look. This advice comes from makeup experts for ladies on the go, ensuring your skin gets a 'breather' throughout the trip.
3. Combine with Facial Mist
The secret to looking naturally fresh and vibrant while traveling without using heavy foundation or blush is to combine tinted moisturizer with facial mist.
4. Goodbye Oily Skin
Keep oily skin at bay and stay confident and radiant while traveling by carrying oil blotting sheets or rice paper to dab the T-zone frequently.
5. Make Use of Shimmer Powder
For longer trips, lightly apply some shimmer powder or shimmer cream on your cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and lips to help conceal signs of fatigue.
6. Forget Matte Lipsticks
Long-lasting matte lipsticks may keep your lips colorfast throughout the journey, but they often leave your lips dry and unnatural. Instead, opt for lipstains, known for their long-lasting color, convenience, and ease of use. A dab of lipstain with lip gloss will give you plump lips.
7. Moisturize Your Lips Regularly
In places with high temperatures or frequent air conditioning use, your lips may quickly become dry. Therefore, it's advisable to carry with you one of the various types of lip balms.
8. Reduce Eye Bags
To reduce eye bags after a long trip, you can apply a chilled spoon under your eyes.
9. Soothe Your Eyes
During plane or car rides, you can watch a movie or read a book. This sometimes leaves your eyes tired and dull upon arrival. Therefore, it's advisable to carry eye drops to moisturize and soothe your eyes.
10. Avoid Eye Makeup
Because mascara and eyeshadow can smudge when you blink during the journey.
11. Skip Bright Nail Polish
Opt for natural nail color or just a clear coat as nail polish tends to chip easily, and bright colors then draw attention to the chipping.
12. Avoid Touching Your Face Repeatedly
This is the advice of dermatologists to minimize acne while traveling. You should even wash your hands with antibacterial soap before touching your face because in a new place, there may be many unknown bacteria leading to skin issues.
13. Bring Facial Cleanser
If you only bring one skincare item, then the top choice would be facial cleanser. According to scientific studies, sudden changes in cleansing agents can disrupt the skin's acid balance and cause skin damage.
14. Make Use of Rest Time
If you take a nap on a flight, take the opportunity to apply eye cream and put on a sleeping mask. This will help you look fresher and more comfortable upon waking up.
15. Moisturize Your Hands
Beauty experts always advise using hand cream throughout the journey. Besides keeping your hands from drying out, it also helps you avoid the effects of using unfamiliar soap in public restrooms.
16. Bring Makeup Products
If you're traveling abroad, it's recommended to bring your own makeup because most of these items are much more expensive abroad. Other cosmetics like body lotion, shampoo, or perfume abroad usually have more reasonable prices.
17. Prevent Hair Tangles
To keep your hair looking neat, you should carry a small comb in your bag. Additionally, you can deal with tangled hair by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or wrapping a scarf around your neck.
18. Dry Shampoo
Those with oily hair often spend a lot of time washing and blow-drying their hair. To have more time to enjoy the trip, dry shampoo is the most effective solution. Using dry shampoo only takes 10 to 15 minutes to have clean and beautiful hair.
