The Traveling Guide to Skincare

Everyone loves traveling. Traveling gets portrayed in the media as glamorous and decadent, an escape from the daily grind. While that's true, it can be very taxing on you physically and mentally. Prepping correctly for travel will ensure that you are prepared to feel your best self and enjoy your trip. 

While traveling, a lot of times, people forget about their skincare routine. Your skin is then susceptible to different weather and environmental conditions along with a change of habits with food, sleep, etc. All of this will affect your skin in many ways, including dryness, breakouts, irritation and dehydration. 

10 skincare tips for travelers

1. Stay hydrated! Drink lots of water while traveling; this will help avoid your skin and your body from getting dehydrated.
2.  Another tool is a hydrating mist that you can spray during travel to help refresh your skin and help you relax.
3. Bring your favorite products. Keep it simple while you travel with a cleanser, your “can’t live without” serum, moisturizer, and of course, SPF!
4. Avoid touching your face and mouth as much as possible while traveling to avoid spreading bacteria. 
5. Skip the full face of makeup on the plane, and your skin will thank you later. 
6. Stretch your legs when you can. This will help to reduce puffiness and bloating caused by lack of circulation.
7. Make sure your face is freshly cleansed and hydrated before your trip to protect your skin from drying, irritation, or breakouts.
8. Sleep well before you travel.
9. Listen to your body; it will need time to catch up when time and climate change occur. 
10. Extra reminder to wear your SPF

With these in mind, prepping your travel kit can be the easiest way to ensure you have everything you need. Once you have picked out the essentials that you need for your trip, you can pick out travel-size bottles and a dedicated bag to place them in. This way, you are prepared for anything that you need while you are away from home. GlyMed Plus has top-notch premade kits perfect for travel for an easy option for you or your clients!
