Changes in environment, travel fatigue, or inability to eat local cuisine are reasons why your skin may not stay radiant while traveling.
Below are some simple tricks to help you maintain soft skin, even during a long and stressful journey.
1. Pack essentials for traveling
Depending on the destination and climate, pack cosmetics and skincare products accordingly. Moisturizer is an essential item in your travel kit.
2. Hydrate your skin
Traveling long distances accompanied by stress and fatigue from sitting in vehicles can cause your skin to lose moisture. Nothing is worse than having dry skin while traveling, so be sure to apply plenty of moisturizer to keep your skin smooth and hydrated. If possible, skip the powder and opt for a light foundation instead. However, remember to use a moisturizing layer underneath to protect before applying foundation. This method will help you achieve smooth and radiant skin while still maintaining enough moisture despite having to move around a lot.
3. Use SPF-containing sunscreen cosmetics
If you're going to a hot and sunny place, it's best to use sunscreen. Choose SPF-containing cosmetics based on your skin tone, and makeup products with sunscreen ingredients. Use sunscreen on any areas that may be exposed to sunlight.
4. Choose waterproof cosmetics
Waterproof cosmetics are suitable for activities in the summer. So when traveling to the beach or hiking, you should also choose waterproof cosmetics to prevent sweat from ruining your appearance. Mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and even concealer should be selected as waterproof types.
5. Opt for lighter and thinner makeup
When traveling, it's best to avoid applying a thick foundation layer and instead mix facial mist with foundation for a light blend. This method will give your face a fresh, natural look. Remember to bring oil blotting sheets if you have oily skin.
6. Boost Moisture
After outdoor activities, especially returning from the beach or pool, your skin is prone to dehydration and dryness. The best way is to cleanse your face and apply moisturizer immediately, using massage motions to help the cream penetrate. Using a warm towel on your face is an effective way because the temperature on the towel will help the moisturizer absorb into the skin better.
7. Maintain Hygiene
It's challenging to keep yourself in a clean environment while traveling. Dust and sweat are the reasons your skin becomes unsightly. So avoid touching your face with your hands. Always remember to wash your hands and feet as much as possible. You should carry hand sanitizer in dry form.
8. Control Diet
When traveling, pay attention to hydrating your skin. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits at the places you visit. This is not only a way to take care of your skin but also to enjoy the local fruits of the region you're visiting.
9. Ensure Sufficient Sleep
Changes in activities, eating habits, and sleep patterns can contribute to worsening skin condition. Even when traveling, try to ensure you get enough sleep before each journey.
10. Increase Exfoliation
Due to frequent movement, the skin tends to sweat more, leading to faster bacteria growth. Exfoliate regularly to prevent acne breakouts. Exfoliation helps keep your skin clean and radiant.
