You can Maintain a Healthy Skin While Traveling
Traveling can be fun, but it also leads to all sorts of skin-related issues. You end up with skin breakouts, sunburn, and oily skin as a result of the trip. The combination of pollution, lack of sleep, and other factors led to these skin problems. Even if you had a relaxing trip, you will head back home looking like a mess. If you want to enjoy the trip, and still have a healthy skin upon return, these tips could help you.
Sleep early
Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean yup have to break your sleep routine. If you sleep at a specific time each day, you have to keep it that way. It’s not only about your skin, but also your body clock. You will have a hard time adjusting to your normal sleep cycle after the trip if you keep sleeping late. Avoid night-outs and plan your trip around the daytime. Consistently sleeping late cold lead to breakouts.
Bring a travel-size facial wash
When you have a full schedule for your trip, you might only clean your face in the morning and upon your return to the hotel. If you want to maintain a clear skin, you have to bring a travel-size facial wash. You also need to bring other skin care products with you. Purchase a small plastic bottle or container where you can transfer the skin care products to easily carry them around.
Wear a mask
When traveling to polluted cities with heavy traffic, you need to wear a mask. It’s a way of protecting your skin from dust and dirt. Once it enters your pores, you will end up with skin blemishes. Protect your face using an appropriate mask. It’s also for health reasons. Inhaling polluted air is bad for you.
Don’t stay under the sun for too long
When traveling to tropical countries, you might be to excited to go for sunbathing. Before you do so, you have to check the temperature. The heat of the sun at certain times during the day is no longer healthy, and could lead to sunburn. If you don’t want to damage your skin, you need to avoid sunbathing. Bring a hat or an umbrella to keep you protected.
Don’t attempt to change your skin regimen
You might see some skin care products that look interesting, and you want to give them a try. Since you can’t consult with your dermatologist about it, there’s a chance for you to get it wrong. Therefore, it’s important that you avoid trying out something new when traveling. If you forgot to bring your skin care products, you can wash your face with warm water. Wipe it with a clean towel. You may also use ice cubes to close the pores on your face.
With these tips, your skin will stay healthy throughout the trip. If you encounter problems while traveling, you have to immediately contact your dermatologist. You can also see a local doctor to check on the skin issue and have temporary relief.
