Whether you are taking off to a sun-soaked beach or exploring a humidity-drenched metropolis, your skin needs to be just as sunny as your travel destination. With all that sweat and grime, your skin needs some extra love this summer, but don’t sweat it, since we have got you covered here! Let us look at some breezy tips to pamper your skin.

Skincare essentials for hot weather

Let us look at some skincare essentials that need to be kept in your bag while you go out to travel in this hot weather!

1. Sunscreen: Sunscreen should be your travel companion, irrespective of whether the climate out there is sunny or cloudy. The UV rays can penetrate the skin and cause tanning or dark spots. It even has the potential to give you sunburns. Go for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. Carry a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply it every 2 hours, particularly over your face, hands, and neck. 
2. Water bottle: Exposure to hot weather for a prolonged period, especially while you are travelling, can cause dehydration. Make sure to consume plenty of water throughout the day and carry a reusable bottle if required.
3. Hydrating moisturizer: A hydrating moisturizer would help in maintaining the skin’s hydration levels. Look out for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera to help nourish and soothe your skin.
4. Cleanser: A mild and gentle cleanser is required to take care of pollutants, dirt, and dust that can stick to your skin while travelling. At night, make sure to go for double cleansing to remove residual makeup along with dirt and dust completely.
5. Eye cream: An eye cream would be required to protect the skin under your eyes from sun damage. 
6. Lip balm: A moisturizing lip balm can keep your lips hydrated and prevent them from going dry or chapped.
7. Hair serum: If your hair tends to become frizzy while travelling, you can apply hair serum to make your hair shiny and glossy.

What are some tips to follow while travelling in summer?

Let us look at some tips to follow while travelling in hot weather:

1. If your skincare products are running out and you are travelling abroad, avoid buying them from airports as they might be too expensive. Instead, ask the local people around for stores where to buy them at an affordable price.
2. Carry scarves or hats. This can help in protecting your hair from humidity.
3. If you are travelling by a flight, an in-flight skin routine is beneficial too. Apply moisturizing serums containing hyaluronic acid to your skin so that it does not go dry. If you are travelling by train, apply moisturizing lotion to your hands, feet, and face.

While travelling, it is easier to forget to follow the skincare routine due to busy schedules. However, make sure to follow the skincare routine diligently to maintain smooth and glowing skin.
