Tips for traveling in Summer
1. Adjust your skincare routine.
Travelers should keep their skin routine as simple as possible, starting with sunscreen, cleansing, tonic, and ending with hydration.
2. Plan ahead.
Make sure that your carry-on luggage includes everything you need and that you have a new application of sunscreen on hand in your bag or glove compartment. With a simple routine, you can make room to enjoy the holidays and still keep your skin radiant and smooth.
3. Don’t Forget to Bring Creams and Moisturizers
Remember to pack a moisturizer and a high SPF sunscreen in summer trips. Putting on a moisturizer is the best and healthy base so that your sun protection products can sit perfectly on your skin. We recommend you to pack a trip kit of products so you can include as much nourishing and sun protection products as you can.

Cleaning is everything, especially when it comes to recycled air on an airplane, it is recommended to wear micellar wipes to constantly clean your skin and hydrating masks to keep your skin protected during the flight.
6. Develop healthy hotel habits.
You could get rashes from using hotel toiletries that can aggravate sensitive skin, even if you are somewhere luxurious, it is important to be careful what kind of products you are applying to your skin.
Don’t rely on chemical loaded hotel wellness products. We understand there is a luggage limit to travel but as in the case of skincare products, carry a travel kit of wellness products so you can you can carry soap and shampoo that you use daily. If your favorite skin care products do not have travel size versions, it is a good idea to invest in some mini travel bottles that you can fill with the products you would normally use.
7. Protect yourself from the sun
Sunscreen is necessary all the time, no matter who or where you are, no matter the color of your skin or the layer of clouds. Although it seems that you never burn, the sun’s rays are real.

Long flights can provide an exhausting skin appearance, especially in sensitive areas such as eyes and lips. Therefore, remember to carry with you some eye drops and apply it when you feel that it is necessary so you can relax for some minutes.
