Let’s Talk Travel Skin Tips

'Tis the season for boarding long haul flights and seeing the sights! And with spring upon us and summer approaching, holidays are plentiful. Coming home with glowing skin is all part of the travel experience, but how do you hold on to your “holiday glow” long after the trip has ended? You might be surprised to learn that the key to retaining and amplifying glowing skin starts before you’ve even packed your bags.

At Glo Haus, we encourage you to take a moment to plan an LED or PRIN facial prior to boarding as part of any holiday planning. It’s also important to take stock of what’s in your travel beauty bag to get the most out of your holiday GLO.

When spending additional time in the water we’re more exposed to minerals which can upset the skin. By keeping it nourished and hydrated in the lead up and en route to your destination, this will protect your skin barrier and integrity resulting in glowing, healthy skin. 

As relaxation mode sinks in, the desire to apply full coverage makeup effortlessly falls away and we find ourselves reaching for lighter options. Products like Aspect mineral makeup provide a dewy and effortless look whilst being packed with plenty of skin-loving ingredients. 

Topical products should be applied daily to enrich your skin, such as Cosmedix ‘Purity Solution’ cleanser, ‘Mystic Spritz’ for an in-between pick me up, ‘Surge’ for intense hydration, and Aspect’s ‘Intense Hydrating Sheet Masks’ - because remember, a moment of self care is a must when on holidays. And of course, none of this is worth doing without liberally applying an SPF. Make sure to leave your Retinol at home as this can make your skin more photosensitive.

With any amazing holiday comes an endless array of delicious foods and beverages, so we’ve thought of the best and most cost effective way for you to enjoy both. Adding a spoonful of The Beauty Chefs ‘Gut Primer’ to your morning or evening will ensure you stay away from feeling too sluggish and ‘Hydration’ to prevent and replenish any signs of lacklustre dehydration from the inside out.
