So you’re headed on vacation — lucky you! Whether it’s sandy toes on the beach, mountain air in the wilderness, or city lights and cocktails, it’s your time to unwind.
And while you’re relaxing, exploring, and living your best life, don’t forget: your skin still needs a little love too.
Taking just a few simple steps can help you avoid post-trip breakouts, dryness, or irritation. These vacation skincare tips are low-effort and high-reward — and your future self will thank you.
☀️ 1. Always Wear Sunscreen (Yes, Even on Cloudy Days)
We’ll never stop saying it: sunscreen is your skin’s BFF.
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 (or higher) every morning, and don’t forget to reapply every 2–3 hours — especially if you’re in the water, sweating, or on the go.
💡 Pro tip: Don’t forget the sneaky spots — like your ears, neck, lips, and hands.
💧 2. Moisturize Every Day (Your Skin’s Still Working Hard)
Travel — especially flying or being out in the sun all day — can really dry your skin out.
Use your favorite moisturizer daily to:
- Replenish hydration
- Soothe sun-kissed skin
- Prevent flakiness or tightness
Pack a travel-size version of your go-to cream, or ask your esthetician for recommendations that work for your skin type and the climate you’re headed to.
🧼 3. Don’t Skip Makeup Removal (Even After a Long Day)
We get it — you’ve had a full day of adventuring and the hotel bed is calling. But don’t crash with a full face of sunscreen, city smog, and makeup still on your skin.
Take 5 minutes to cleanse.
Your pores will thank you, and it helps prevent breakouts and dullness.
🧴 Travel tip: Micellar water or a gentle cleansing balm can be super easy to pack and use on the go.
🚰 4. Stay Hydrated (For Your Skin AND Energy Levels)
Hydration isn’t just about quenching thirst — it’s a total skin game-changer.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and even more if you’re spending time in the sun, hiking, or sipping cocktails.
Why it matters:
- Helps flush out toxins
- Promotes even skin tone and clarity
- Reduces puffiness and inflammation
- Keeps your glow going strong
Bring a reusable water bottle with you and keep sipping all day long.
🌟 Bonus Travel Skincare Tips:
- Pack a facial mist to refresh on the plane or during hot days
- Use sheet masks for a hotel room glow-up
- Avoid trying brand new products that might irritate your skin
- Keep your routine simple — cleanse, hydrate, protect
