Everybody must take a good care of their skin. When we travel we often forget the need for proper cleansing and caring of our skin. A skin care routine may sound like high maintenance and is hassling to do, but in reality, the steps for good skin care are not only necessary, they’re easy to implement too. Your current mood and situation is mostly seen on the outside features of your body. Unhealthy skin tends to appear pale and dull, while healthy skin appears full and vibrant.
Skin is constantly growing and changing, so you have to remain observant in taking care of it! Do the following guidelines to keep a healthy and young looking skin.

Keep yourself hydrated, drink a lot of water
Drink enough water. Drinking at least 8 glasses a day will help get rid of your body toxins. Everyone will not agree that water consumption will improve skin, but it truly is. Claims have been made that drinking water gives you a more radiant, healthy and younger looking complexion, while others say it has no effect or whatsoever.
But the fact that skin is an organ and just like any other part of the body your skin is made up of cells. And skin cells are made up of water. And your skin is the largest part of your body. If your skin is not getting the sufficient amount of water, it will make your skin dry & dull. Sometimes it is really disturbing to drink large amount of water during your travel because there is a need to use the bathroom later. But as what many people say, if there’s a will there’s always a way.

Remove your makeup
Get rid of your makeup as soon as you board the plane or even during your arrival at the hotel. You can use facial toner of your choice. If you prefer to do this in your seat you can use a micellar water on a cotton pad instead. Oil-free formulation is the ideal toning product for normal, dry, sensitive and tired skin. Regular removing of makeup and skin dirt will prevent you from having acne and other skin irritations.

Moisturize and pamper your skin
Moisturizing eliminates the chances of skin problems. Applying the right kind of moisturizer for your skin can help maintain its balance. When skin is too dry or too oily, many common skin problems like rashes and acnes start to pop up. According to dermatologist, if your skin tends to be oily, you should look for lotions with exfoliating ingredients or watery formulation instead of creams. If your skin tends to be dry, look for a cream because they tend have higher oil in the formulation for intense moisturizing. The most sensitive areas of your skin are face, ears, neck, and chest that need extra care. Moisturizing helps your skin to maintain its glow. It also promotes a healthier and more radiant looking skin.

Mask Application
Usually when you are in a long haul flight, irritants are everywhere inside the plane. This is especially when we are on economic class, which many people can afford. Sometimes your face gets super tacky maybe due to recycled oxygen circulating inside the airplane. But no worries, because applying mask can help to freshen up your tired facial skin. Sleeping mask is the best you can use during the travel. It provides extra hydration and nutrients to your skin where you are in a place with limited fresh air. This is also a must have especially if you have meetings and errands right after your arrival. Keep yourself looking great anytime and anywhere.

Having enough sleep
Humans are vulnerable. We need to recharge to renew our cells. Having adequate amount of sleep helps your body to be more active and look good. Your body will ask some rest when it already reached its limit for the day. Don’t forget to give what your body needs.

Know your destination
You must know the present weather and climate condition of the place you are going to visit. Sometimes beauty regimen that works for you in your residence may not work in some places. For example, you came from a place with a cold and dry weather, the need of strong moisturizer with high oil content is normal to avoid dryness. But in some places with really hot weather and high humidity it is better to use water based or non-greasy moisturizer to avoid skin irritation due to excessive oil in the face. Types of weather and temperature have a great impact on product absorption and its effectivity.
