Traveling with Healthy Skin: Part II

July 2, 2013

While traveling can be an adventure, don’t let your skincare routine fall by the wayside. Use these tips for traveling with healthy skin, and you’ll start and end your trip with a healthy glow.

• If you can, avoid coffee, alcohol and salt. Traveling is dehydrating enough, but these substances will leave you feeling parched and groggy.
• Be sure to get a full night’s rest before your trip. This could help eliminate your need for coffee. Also, getting the recommended 8 hours allows time for your body to recuperate and reset.
• Oh no! Your flight or train was delayed. Don’t stress. If you prepare a “just in case” bag with facial cleansers, sunscreen or moisturizer, travel-sized makeup and extra clothes, you’ll still look fresh in the morning.
• Although one of the perks of staying at a hotel is the free shampoos and soaps, you should bring your own. A lot of these “freebies” are new and untested. You don’t know what kind of reaction your skin may have. Find travel-sized bottles of your current shampoo, conditioner, and cleansers for your trip.
• Last but not least, prepare for the weather. Be mindful of the weather while you’re traveling and at your destination. Cold mountain air will affect your skin differently than the moist salty air at a tropical beach. Cooler climates call for thick moisturizers and night cream. You should pack SPF 30 and lip balm if you’re heading to the beach. Don’t forget to reapply every two hours!

If you have any questions about skin protection or any changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.
