With the hustle and bustle associated with traveling, self-care is typically overlooked. Seriously, I’ve been bouncing around from state to state the past few months, and am SO guilty of ignoring my skincare needs when traveling and this is NOT ok. I recently read some tips from Dove Dermatologist Dr. Alicia Barba, and with the help of Dove, started implementing her tips into my more recent travel routine. I personally use Dove on a daily basis, but reading the tips from an expert helped me take the extra step to healthier and happier skin.

Anyone else add “travel more” to their New Year Resolution list? Well if you did, don’t forget these crucial tips to keep that glowing skin during your travels.

HYDRATE:

Who else drinks anything except for water when on the go? ME, ME, ME! Dr. Barba says “Make sure to stay hydrated. Hydration is important to help decrease inflammation and keep your skin feeling and looking its best.” It’s such a simple and easy step that makes a HUGE difference. I started bringing a refillable water bottle on my flight or road trips to make accessing water even easier.

DON’T FORGET DEODORANT:

It’s easy to forget the essentials when traveling, but one thing to always remember is deodorant. Dr. Barba says, “When traveling long distance or in the tight quarters of an airplane, you’re going to want to keep yourself feeling fresh. Having deodorant handy is a must. The one I choose is Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant because it also cares for your skin.” We know Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant provides 48-hour odor and wetness protection, but did you know that it also has added skin care benefits for softer, smoother underarms.

BRING CLEANSING WIPES:

Travel leads to germy environments, so having cleansing wipes on hand can keep bacteria away while also keeping you fresh. I also like to keep a travel size hand sanitizer to cleanse throughout the day.

REFRESH AFTER REACHING YOUR DESTINATION:

Sometimes when you reach your final destination, you get caught up in the location itself. Dr. Barba has a great tip for this, “The first to do when I finally get to where I am staying is wash my face and finish with a cold wash cloth or ice. The cold compress helps reduce any inflammation and refresh dehydrated skin.” This works wonders when it comes to freshening up and results in beautiful, glowing skin!
