Most people love to travel but travelling can put additional stress on your body and this can become particularly noticeable on your skin. One of the key reasons for this is the change in climate of the place you are visiting. In order to prevent your skin from becoming tired and stressed it is good to be prepared for such occasions. To keep your skin looking healthy at all times we propose some of the following skincare tips.

Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise
It’s simple yet very effective. Moisturiser helps to smooth the through preventing water loss, and ultimately works to keep your skin looking healthy. Travelling is not only tiring but many forms of transport work dry your skin. This can occur through things such as air conditioning. Moisturising regularly can help to reduce the effects of this and is a must have for any holiday pack.

Use Climate Sensitive Skin Products
Before leaving, take some time to find out more about the weather in your chosen destination. If the place is drier than you are used to then you may want to consider packing a stronger moisturiser. Sun screen is also important and where possible you should try to remain vigilant. People often underestimate the strength of the sun and are burnt as a result.

Rehydrate Regularly
Although moisturisers work their best to maintain your skin’s moisture level, it\’s essential to keep your body hydrated by drinking lots of water. It is easy to become dehydrated when travelling and the air inside planes and trains can be particularly drying…and where will this show first? On your skin! So make sure you drink plenty of water to fight that fatigue.

Take the Essentials
Travel with the five basic skincare products. These are cleansers, moisturiser with sunscreen, night treatment, lip hydrator and hand & body lotion. This will help to ensure that your skin remains hydrated and healthy looking throughout the day. The rest can be bought as of when you need it. Most places abroad have these everyday items. These typically fit into small travel bags for cosmetics and everyday items.

Learn to Be a Savvy Shopper
We have all been guilty of cramming our suit cases with too much but there are some great ways to decrease the amount of stuff you take. For example free samples can work well and they are free. There are also some bargains to be had on travel sized products and if you just can’t bear to part with your favourite toiletries, how about emptying them into travel bottles – the perfect compromise! All of these approaches will help to keep down the weight of your luggage and ensure that you still have a great range of skincare products with you.

These are just some of the basic tips you will want to follow while travelling. The main thing is to use your common sense and take precautions where necessary. Ultimately be careful and have a great time.
