Finally! You’ve set your out-of-office message and shut down your computer, with visions of palm trees and sandy beaches dancing in your mind. Summer, the peak travel season, is the perfect time to relax and discover beautiful destinations, whether it’s a tropical beach or the charming streets of Europe.
However, one downside is when your skin starts acting up just as you’re aiming for that perfect vacation photo. While traveling broadens your horizons and lets you escape your daily routine, it also exposes your skin to various new elements. From weather changes and time zone shifts to dehydration, here’s how to keep your skin healthy, vibrant, and ready for any adventure with the help of Travel Skincare Products.
The Change of Weather
Your skin needs to adjust to different temperatures depending on your travel destination. Dr. Papri Sarkar, a board-certified dermatologist, explains that transitioning from hot and humid to cold climates can make dry skin suffer. You might notice rough patches, and those with eczema or psoriasis might experience flare-ups. Conversely, traveling from a cold, dry environment to a hot, humid one can lead to increased oil production and sweat, resulting in acne.
Tip: The Global Free Wild Breakout Serum is a great travel companion. This natural blend of botanical antioxidants provides a hefty dose of essential Vitamin B3, helping your skin stay balanced and clear, regardless of the weather.
Air Quality on a Plane
Airplanes are notorious for having lower humidity levels—about 10 to 20 percent less than what you breathe on the ground. Dr. Sarkar points out that this can dry out your skin. To keep your pores hydrated at cruising altitude, start with a clean, fresh face, and apply moisturizer and face mist throughout the flight, especially on long-haul trips.
Tip: The Global Free Wild Keep Calm Balm is perfect for in-flight skincare. This moisturizing balm penetrates deeply to hydrate damaged skin cells, reduce fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles, and diminish the appearance of scars and blemishes.
Stress
Travel can be stressful, especially if you’re not used to rushing to catch flights, navigating new languages, or planning packed itineraries. Stress can cause your body to produce cortisol, the stress hormone, which can worsen acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other conditions. According to Dr. Sarkar, in cases of acne, cortisol makes sebaceous (oil-producing) glands create more oil, potentially clogging pores and leading to breakouts.
