Traveling the world is certainly one of my favorite pastimes and for anyone out there who has that travel bug, you know what I mean. You just can’t get enough. There’s a constant internal desire to see new places, experience different cultures, try new foods and just get out there and explore. When you’re able to see your travel dreams through – it can be pretty exciting. But being on the road, putting your body through the frequent flying, hotel stays and getting off your normal diet can be an absolute nightmare for your skin. From being parched and dry to oily and over-exposed to the elements (like dry and stale airplane air), taking care of your skin while you’re on the road is essential.
5 Skin-saving Travel Beauty Tips
#1. Don’t be afraid to pop into the restroom mid-flight to wash your face. Getting all that grime and stale air off your face for just a moment will feel amazing and keep your skin fresh throughout the duration of your travel. Pack a travel size container of your favorite face wash and give your skin a good rinse every couple of hours. It will feel amazing and be totally rejuvenating.
#2. Moisturize. Once you’ve taken off and especially if you’d had the chance to pop into the restroom for a quick face rinse, add a bit of moisturizer to the game. The airplane air will dry your skin out faster than you can blink – and loading up on moisturizer will help your skin stay smooth and dewey throughout the journey.
#3. Use a face mist or spray like Motives 10 Years Younger Setting Spray when you can’t (and don’t have the time) to wash your face mid-flight. A setting spray or mist will keep makeup in place and help maintain that dewey and fresh look even after a long flight or hectic travel. On a day trip for work? Setting spray is the perfect solution for being airplane to office-ready in minutes.
#4. Add primer to your routine on the days you know you need your makeup to last or endure a long flight. Sometimes those day trips for work can be the most challenging. You’re dealing with the airport and flights, but you don’t have time to really take care of your skin while you’re at, so making sure you set a foundation for the whole day is essential. Motives Complexion Perfection Face Primer is an innovative formula that not only targets pores, but extends the life of your foundation – offering an all-day flawless look.
#5. Load up on water. Making sure you stay hydrated throughout the duration of a flight is essential for keeping skin looking refreshed and new rather than dull and dry. Bring your own water bottle to continually sip or ask the flight attendant for a couple of glasses of water at a time. Hydration is the name of the game, especially when it comes to combatting that stale, dry airplane air.
