Prepare to Board: Skincare Tips for Travelling

Ah, July. The month for girl trips, honeymoons and family vacations. Whether you’re travelling for an adventure or a peace of mind, it’s important to pack essentials in your travel bag. It is no news to us that flights (especially long durations) can take a toll on your skin. We will give you tips on maintaining your skin and things you can do once you’ve already boarded. So, buckle up your seatbelts, and prepare for your next trip!

Drink Water

It’s easy to get dehydrated once you’ve taken off. Drinking water not only helps you replenish, but also avoids skin dryness, eye puffiness, and dark circles.

Stay Moisturized

Cabin air has less humidity than ground air. This reduction in humidity increases your skin’s need for moisture. Make sure to wear a good moisturizer and a lightweight serum so your skin stays soft and supple once you’ve landed.

Go Bare…

For your face, of course! A full face of makeup, while flying, can cause negative effects on your skin such as dryness, clogged pores and breakouts. Just imagine: the longer the flight, the more moisture and care your skin will need. So, try going bare, your skin will love it.

…or use a BB Cream or Mineral Foundation

Okay, if you can’t help but to wear a bit of foundation, try using a lightweight BB cream or mineral foundation. These products are non-comedogenic to ensure that your pores stay blemish-free.

Feed Your Mind and Soul

Flying gives us the time to do the things, we’ve always meant to do on the ground. Feed your mind, and soul, by catching up on a good book. Audiobooks are the best way to listen to your favorite books because they can be downloaded to your phone or tablet. No book? Puzzles and game apps are a good way to exercise your mind, so you’re ready the minute you land!

We hope that these tips will help you enjoy your summer while looking flawless straight through. If you’ve tried these tips, let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Happy travelling, Gorgeous!
