1. Don’t Forget to Bring Sunscreens and Moisturizers

One of the most important skincare tips is to be sure to pack a moisturizer and a high-SPF sunscreen if you intend to travel in the sun. Putting on a moisturizer provides you with a healthy base so that all the sun products can sit nicely on your skin. You can also pack skin creams that will help nourish your skin, make it look fresh, and add a glimmer to it when outdoors.

2. Take Enough Care of Your Eyes and Lips

Long flights can be particularly exhausting. They can easily tire sensitive skin around the eyes and lips. Therefore you must take care of it a bit! Of course, it’s not easy to be a full-time travel nurse, which requires you to travel from one place to another for different jobs. Therefore, when your eyes get dry, irritated, or strained after traveling this summer, put on some eye drops and relax for a few minutes. You can also put on a little eye cream and wrap ice in a washcloth to use on the outer skin to slim the eye puffiness.

Also, carry lip essentials to protect your lips from getting dry, torn, or dull. Not only will it keep your lips shining, but it will also prevent them from de-moisturizing.

3. Exfoliating is The Key to a Glowy Travel Skin

Grab an excellent CBD body scrub, apply it in circular motions over your body, and turn towards taking a shower. If you do it 2 to 3 times during a trip, you’ll start loving your skin more!

4. Remove Makeup Before You Hit The Bed

No matter if you are at home or on a trip, if you don’t remove makeup at night, you’re in big trouble. Leaving makeup on while you go to bed can cause some severe damage to your skin. Therefore, you should carry an organic makeup removal on every trip. Use detoxifying cotton pads or towelettes with makeup removal to clean your skin while being gentle with it. It’s okay if you want to look all even-toned during the day. But leaving makeup during sleep is a strict no, no!

5. Carry All Your Wellness Products With You

Instead, carry all your wellness products with you. To start with, you can pack all your face essentials in mini bottles or look for travel sets. For your body skin, you can carry soap and shampoo that you use daily.

The best way to keep skin clean is to detoxify it, and drinking water is the best way to do it. Ask any dermatologist for tips to save your skin, and all will recommend drinking plenty of water. Besides keeping you hydrated during a trip, drinking water will also help you flush out toxic elements. It will keep skin and lips naturally hydrated and won’t let them break. Water ensures a smooth digestive cycle on a trip that keeps skin away from acne and pimples.
