Not always a good experience for your skin.
These tips would come in handy on your next trip to keep your skin fresh and healthy.
Skin care tips you should know while traveling
Moisturize your skin before and during the trip
It is advisable to moisturize your skin severely the night before the trip, this would help your skin stay hydrated and protect it from the unfavorable weather.
Applying a collagen moisturizer during trips also would prevent dryness to your skin and damage to its surface as a result of strong winds and exposure to direct sunlight.
Abstain from using foundation
Avoid using foundation during your trip, preferably use a moisturizer only. Before you go out apply a tinted moisturizer for a dazzling look.
If you must use a foundation, apply a primer initially, it will help your skin stay hydrated and keep the foundation looking good for a longer time.
Wear a sunscreen always
Regardless of the season, richly apply your sunscreen always. This would prevent your skin from the severe effects of Ultraviolet rays of the sun, which otherwise could cause sunburn and skin tan.
Undue exposure to the sun can also quicken aging, use the sunscreen on a 2-3 hour interval during trips.
Skin cleansers would be of help
You must have observed while on trips that your skin attracts lots of dust and dirt when accumulated could damage your look. Skin cleansers would help wash off all the dust and dirt and keep your skin refreshed and clean.
Always dress comfortably
Comfortable clothes will save you the terror of rashes, itching, sunburn, and irritation caused by skin-tight clothes.
Loose and comfortable clothes would save you from skin diseases, infections, and heat bumps.
Keep the oil off with blotting paper
An excessively oily skin while traveling could be kept in check with blotting papers. A lot of people experience oily skin on trips due to the buildup of dirt.
Use blotting paper particularly on the “T-Zone”; they are much preferable to tissue paper because they do not leave deposit after using them, prescribed for those whose skin is sensitive.
Water keeps you hydrated
The habit of drinking water is not just good for your body; it is also of immense benefit to your skin. Many folks avoid drinking water during the trip to avoid using the restroom, but this could be to their disadvantage as this not only affects your body but also your skin.
