When travelling, keeping up with a skincare routine that’s both easy and effective is key. That’s why it’s important to have the right products with you – ones that are versatile and gentle, yet still do a great job at keeping your skin in top shape. This way, you’re not only looking after your skin’s health whilst travelling but also avoiding the inconvenience of carrying too many products.
Here are five essential skincare items you’ll want to make sure you have.
1. Cleanser
Travelling can really expose your skin to all sorts of things like dirt and pollution. A good cleanser is your best friend here – it’ll keep your skin clean without being too rough on it. If you’re off to a place where water might be scarce, think about packing some micellar water or cleansing wipes. They’re simple to use and you don’t need to rinse.
2. Moisturiser
A moisturiser that’s good for both day and night is super handy. Try to find one with hyaluronic acid which is great for keeping your skin hydrated, something with niacinamide if you’re worried about oily skin, and ceramides to help keep your skin’s barrier strong. If it’s going to be cold where you’re going, a thicker cream can help, or choose a lighter one for humid places.
3. Sunscreen
UV exposure can happen anywhere, whether you’re hiking in the mountains or exploring city streets. Choose a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Consider a formulation that doubles as a moisturiser or a foundation with SPF for a more streamlined skincare routine.
4. Multipurpose Ointment
Multipurpose ointments like Vaseline or Lucas’ Paw Paw are versatile because they’re great at locking in moisture, thanks to their main ingredient, petroleum jelly. This makes them excellent for moisturizing dry skin, healing minor cuts and burns, and soothing irritation. They’re also handy in beauty routines as lip gloss or for taming eyebrows, and can protect skin from harsh weather. Their safe, gentle formula is suitable for most skin types, making them a go-to for various skin needs. Just remember, they seal in moisture but don’t hydrate, so it’s best to apply them to damp skin.
5. Face Mist or Hydrating Spray
Lips are often overlooked in skincare routines, but they need protection and hydration just like the rest of your face, especially under varying travel conditions. A nourishing lip balm with ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E, and SPF can prevent and heal chapped lips. Keep it handy in your carry-on for easy access.
