Don’t leave skin care behind while taking off on adventures. Here’s all you need to know about taking care of your skin while on-the-go!
When the opportunity to execute your dream vacation falls in your lap, exploring new destinations, taking in serene horizons and breathing in that fresh air is at the top of your mind. As you check off your list of travel essentials, a travel-friendly skincare kit may take a back seat. It is only at the end of the vacation that you return to take care of your skin, but this time, to treat the wear and tear from your trip.
To avoid this regular mistake and let your skincare ride with you in the front seat, here’s a reminder to not overlook these common factors and a few hacks to make this process easier:
What can I do for better skincare while travelling?
Climate change
Varying temperatures, depending on your destination, can wreak havoc on your skin. A dry summer could lead to dehydrated skin whereas a humid weather could lead to sebum buildup causing acne breakouts.
Tip: Customizing your skincare routine and products as per the destination is important!
Regular cleansing
You are bound to be exploring the wonders that the destination has to offer. This, inadvertently, leads to your skin being exposed to dirt, pollution and environmental toxins that could cause ample damage if not washed away.
Tip: Regular cleansing is pivotal to maintaining healthy skin!
UV Protection
Whether it’s the sun of a lazy Sunday morning or pouring rain, the effects of UV rays are still prevalent, which is something that is often ignored.
Tip: Ramping up your SPF is a definite must!
Skincare routine for travellers:
Keeping the above in mind, here is a travel skincare kit and routine for a breezy vacation:
Cleansing Balm
Brightening serum
To aid in locking in that much-needed moisture when you’re up and about, and to avoid patchy and pigmented skin, a brightening serum is a must! Deconstruct’s Brightening Serum with Niacinamide would prove a great addition to your routine during this time. Don’t forget to grab your brightening serum for an even skin tone through an even better vacation.
Moisturizer
Dehydrated skin can often lead to patchy, dull and irritated skin which, let’s face it, is not our favourite moment when on vacation. Deconstruct’s Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane Moisturizer firms the skin by promoting collagen, locks in moisture and provides non-greasy hydration, leaving your skin soft and supple. Don’t let dull skin dim your selfie sparkle.
Sunscreen
The UVA and UVB rays of the sun could lead to tan lines, sunburns, pigmentation and most importantly, premature ageing. Therefore, applying sunscreen, particularly one with niacinamide–not just to your face but also to your entire body–will keep your skin looking young and fresh. Deconstruct’s Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 55+ and broad spectrum formula provides optimum protection. Time your sunscreen application, not your day out in the sun.
Lip Balm with SPF
The skin around your lips is much thinner and therefore, more prone to pigmentation through prolonged exposure. In addition to a weekly exfoliation, using Deconstruct’s Brightening Lip balm with SPF and Vitamin C, while you are on the go, would be wise to keep your lips pink and supple. Blow a kiss to that beautiful view with soft, supple lips.
Beyond the Skin
In addition to facial and bodily skincare, scalp care is important too. Possessing more sebaceous glands, sweat and hair follicles, it is even more delicate. Effective scalp care involves proper cleansing, re-balancing, and moisturising. Nevertheless, the selection of appropriate products tailored to your scalp’s needs holds significance. Incorporating Deconstruct’s Exfoliating Scalp Serum, which comprises ingredients like Salicylic Acid and Lactic Acid, offers an array of benefits. Add a bounce to your step with a clean scalp as you walk around town.
The memories of your vacation not only live on in your mind but on your skin, too! So love it as much as you would love the destination.
