The way things have been going this year, it may be a while before you are able to hop on a plane and take a relaxing vacation abroad. If your cabin fever is reaching the boiling point, however, take heart- there are still plenty of ways Summer 2020 can be saved with some fun, safe travel ideas!
Maybe this is the year you hit the road for a family RV trip, or the year you take a relaxing drive up to a remote mountain cabin for a little quiet time. Heck, maybe this is the year you plan a "staycation" at the hotel up the street and take advantage of the luxurious pool (and the ultra-cheap room rates!)
Whatever you decide to do for your safe, fun-filled summer vacation, it is of utmost importance that you take measures to keep your body healthy and well-protected- including your skin! Here are some quick and easy tips for taking good care of your skin even when you're miles from home!
Minimize Your Baggage
Traveling light doesn't have to mean sacrificing your skincare regimen. Most major brands now offer mini-size travel bottles of your favorite cleansers, lotions, and creams, allowing you to keep your skin radiant and well-hydrated on-the-go. Travel-size products can be found anywhere from your local drugstore to a high-end beauty retailer, and can even be purchased online!
Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!
Whether you're at home or on-the-go, keeping skin hydrated and well-moisturized is always important, but it's even more critical to stay moisturized when you're traveling. Why? If you live in a hot, humid climate, your skin may not be used to arid desert air- or vice versa, and may produce too much or too little natural oil to compensate. Be sure to slather on a lightweight, non-comedogenic (that means non-pore clogging) moisturizer twice a day to ensure that you are locking in your skin's natural moisture and keeping it supple and soft. Pro tip from ClareBella Aesthetics, skin care experts in OKC a moisturizer that contains sunscreen gives you one less thing to pack while still offering the right amount of sun protection. Look for a moisturizer that packs the double whammy of sunscreen before heading off on your travels. It's a win-win!
Don't Forget Sunscreen
In case there's anyone who still needs to hear this...WEAR SUNSCREEN! Avoiding sunscreen application not only increases your risk factor for developing skin cancer, but the UVA and UVB rays from the sun can have damaging effects that will do a serious number on the texture and pigmentation of your skin. Applying sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 before heading outside helps you not only avoid a painful, vacation-ruining sunburn but could literally help save your life!
After months at home, taking a much-needed vacation sounds pretty amazing. When it comes to skincare, however, there is no such thing as a vacation day! Plan ahead and prioritize your skin's health so you can effortlessly maintain your usual radiant glow while you're soaking up the summer sun. Bon Voyage!
