Tips Prevent Acne While Travelling
1. Pack Travel-friendly Skincare
Travel light and keep your skincare routine simple. Pack a moisturising sunscreen and reapply it throughout the day to protect your skin from acne. Overpacking makeup is a common pitfall, so the mantra "less is more" is key.
2. Stay Hydrated
Travelling means your body has to adjust to new environments, especially in a foreign country. One common cause of travel acne is dehydration, as the air is often drier than land travel. To keep your skin clear and healthy, drink plenty of water and stay hydrated, especially in low-humidity conditions.
3. Maintain Hygiene
Touching your face can transfer bacteria that lead to pimple breakouts, and aeroplane travel can increase your exposure to these germs. Wash your hands frequently and carry a travel-sized hand sanitiser to clear your skin.
4. Choose Non-Comedogenic Products
Opt for products labelled "non-comedogenic" to prevent clogged pores and reduce breakouts. When selecting a moisturiser, ensure it's non-comedogenic to avoid pore blockages. Consider our Face moisturiser with Niacinamide and SPF 25 PA+++. This dual-action moisturiser protects against harsh sun damage yet simultaneously hydrates + moisturises your skin. It reduces oxidative stress caused by external environments like the sun and blue light with the power of Vitamin B3 and E, that also helps improve the texture of your skin. Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic makeup products as well. Always remove makeup thoroughly before bed, as leaving it on can result in clogged pores and breakouts.
5. Keep Clean Linens
Bringing your own bedding when travelling can be a game-changer, especially for sensitive acne prone skin. Hotel linens might not always be the cleanest or gentlest on your skin. A soft, breathable pillow case made of cotton, silk, or bamboo can make a big difference. This helps keep your skin comfortable and protected from potential irritants.
6. Protect Your Skin from Pollutants
Pollution can damage your skin, but antioxidant-rich products can help counteract the effects. Keep your skin's barrier strong and exfoliate regularly to clear out impurities from your pores. Its based to use a sulphate-free cleanser regularly. Consider our Face wash with Salicylic Acid and Thymol T-essence.
