Our usually beautiful and radiant skin often wreaks havoc in our life while we are travelling.  Changes in altitudes, weather conditions and constant exposure to sunlight can damage our skin. As a result, skin becomes excessively prone to breakouts, acne, dullness and pigmentation. Thus, taking care of one’s skin while travelling, becomes a necessity. Here are a few tips from Ms. Aakriti Kochar, Beauty and Make-up Expert, Oriflame India that can work wonders and ensure one’s skin shines in those holiday pictures.

While spending long hours in travelling, ensure that skin is hydrated by consuming a lot of water. Fresh fruits and vegetables also work towards fulfilling that end.

Wear a light moisturizer and sun block while traveling to avoid skin damage and pigmentation.   In case of covering long distances, it is helpful to always keep an anti bacterial face wash in your handbag. I recommend Oriflame’s Pure Skin Scrub Face Wash Deep Action for the same.

When excess oil settles on one’s skin for long, it leads to break outs, acne and open pores. It is advised to wash one’s face every 6-8 hours to clean skin of excess oil, dirt and impurities.

While outdoors, our hands come in contact with many surfaces, attracting bacteria and infections. It is beneficial to use an anti bacterial sanitizer to keep hands clean and bacteria-free all the time.

Dry skin

Travelling in closed vehicles like cars, airplanes, etc lead to dehydration of skin, making it patchy and dry. It is advised to moisturize you skin with intense moisturizers a night before the start of the journey. I recommend Oriflame Essentials Revitalizing face cream for the same. Always keep a moisturizer handy in your bag. Drinking lots of water is also a good idea to nourish your skin.

Oily Skin

Apart from the mandated face wash and sanitizer, regularly use a toner or astringent to keep the skin clean and healthy. When it comes to toners, my pick would be Oriflame Optimals Mattifying Toner.  One can also use blotting paper to wipe the excess oil or dirt from the ‘T’ zone of your face. The blotting paper removes impurities whilst keeping the makeup intact.

Preferred make-up while travelling

While travelling, it is advised to keep the make-up minimal and natural. Start by applying a good moisturizer that suits the skin type. Follow it up with a foundation compact or a powder foundation with matte finish. Oriflame’s Beauty Matte Control Pressed powder is my recommendation for the same.  A soft Pink/ Coral blush in matte, can be used to give the skin a healthy glow. For a finishing touch add a non-smudge eye-liner or kohl. I suggest going for Giordani Gold Liquid eyeliner.  For the lips, a tinted lip balm or a nourishing lip colour in soft tones of Pink, Coral, Peach, etc is a great choice to moisturize the lips and give them a trendy colour. It is advised to stay away from long lasting lipsticks as they parch the lips. Re-apply a clear gloss every time you require a touch up.
