How To Treat Wrinkles When Traveling

Apart from the stress and fatigue that is associated with travel, our skin also gets affected particularly by the travel environment. If you are not careful enough then by the time you get to your destination, your skin could end up incurring some damage that may take you days to recover from. As a diva on the go, there are a few tips that you have to take into consideration if you want to keep your skin as fine looking as it was before you started the journey. Here are a few tips that will come in handy for you to keep your skin looking fresh and beautiful all through your journey:

1. Prepare your skin the previous night

On the eve of the journey, give your skin a head start by using an effective moisturizing mask to boost the moisture content of your skin. This is a crucial preparation step since you are likely to face dry environments which will increase the appearance of wrinkles especially if you are traveling by air.

2. Cleanse your skin gently

You must use your cleanser gently or else your skin will become dry even before you officially take off. This dryness will worsen once you start your journey and this will make the wrinkles more pronounced. Look for a safe cleanser that will not throw off the natural pH level of your skin because this will make it susceptible to the travel adversities of the skin.

3. Use a protective moisturizing product

After a nice cleanse, look for a moisturizing product that contains an extra antioxidant boost which will work effectively against free radicals during your travels. As you may already know, free radicles destabilize the skin which gives room for more damaging effects. Don’t give wrinkles way to take over your skin before you get to your destination!

Remember, moisturizing on the go is also important since it will retain your skin’s moisture content to prevent dryness from the travel environment. Remember to use a moisturizer that doesn’t contain alcohols and preservatives because these will have a drying effect on your skin.  

4. Do without makeup

For a good part of your journey, use minimal product on your skin, the less the better. Leaving makeup on your skin such as foundation will work against you. The dry travel environment will absorb the moisture out of the makeup and what is left behind is an unattractive cakey and flaky look which will actually highlight the appearance of wrinkles on your skin. Furthermore, having makeup on as you travel will make it more difficult for you to moisturize on the go.

5. Eating well

Don’t forget about eating well as you travel. Most food that you can get in planes for instance tends to be quite fatty and greasy which isn’t good for your skin. Also forget about tanking up on caffeine and alcohol, it may make your skin react and turn dull and dry. Follow a healthy diet even as you travel and ensure that you also drink plenty of water, apart from just quenching your thirst, it maintains the skin too.

Keeping these tips in mind, you will definitely arrive at your destination wrinkle-free feeling and looking good.
