Traveling can be an exciting adventure, but it can also take a toll on our skin. The change in weather, environment, and routine can all affect the health and appearance of our skin. To maintain healthy and beautiful skin while traveling, Dr. Tran Nguyen Anh Tu, Head of the Department of Dermatology at Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, provides some valuable advice.
Before embarking on your journey, it is important to prepare your skin by avoiding beauty products that can dry out or make it sensitive to sunlight. It is recommended to moisturize before boarding a plane or entering an air-conditioned car to prevent dehydration from the cold, dry air.
When packing for your trip, it is essential to carry a basic skin care bag with sunscreen, moisturizer, mineral spray, makeup remover, and cleanser. It is important to choose products suitable for the climate and environment of your travel destination. Applying sunscreen to your entire body is crucial, especially during long trips involving outdoor activities or exposure to seawater. Remember to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours or after sweating, swimming or bathing to ensure adequate protection.
Choosing makeup products with high water resistance can prevent makeup from becoming runny and sticky due to sweat while staying hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the trip benefits not only the skin’s moisture but also overall health. Taking care of our feet by keeping them moisturized and changing shoes regularly can prevent various foot problems that may arise during travel. These tips are simple yet effective in maintaining healthy and beautiful skin while traveling.
In conclusion, traveling can be challenging for our skin but with proper preparation and care we can keep it healthy and beautiful throughout our journey.
