This again is a tip for life, but pertinent for when you’re traveling. Drink plenty of water throughout your travel. Another way to keep your skin hydrated is using a facial mist. Something as simple as a rose water spray can do wonders. But avoid misting mid flight as dry air tends to absorb more water thus leaving your face drier instead.

 

4. A good clean up:

One of the most dreaded things post travel is that patch of flat hair from leaning against the seat too long. The easiest thing to do is travel with a loose top knot. In case you forget to do that, just spritz some water on the area, ruffle it a little and brush it again.

 

8. Look after your eyes:

It’ll increase the circulation and relieve you from the stress and exertion. You can even do the same around your nose, chin and cheek to calm the areas.

 

9. Go bare face:

Keep your skin as naked as you can. If you absolutely need to, wear a tinted moisturizer with some cream eye shadow and light mascara. Keep your skin light and natural.

 

Lastly, don’t forget to pack all your skin care routine products in travel containers. Ziplocks are also very helpful to store these as they take up less space and aren’t a big of a hassle even if theres a spill.

Traveling also means being on your foot a lot, so carry a foot cream as well.
