Summer Skincare 

In order to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, it is important to choose summer skincare that is lightweight and effective against the summer sun. To keep your pores clean, make sure to have a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and dead skin cells. Since it is hot, we have to remember to stay hydrated! That includes skin products for your face and body. Use a moisturizer and a strong sunscreen to protect your skin from those UV rays and prevent sun damage. Add a toner to balance the pH of your skin and prevent breakouts.

Skincare Routine

While traveling it is important to have a convenient travel sized skincare kit readily available on-the-go. There are many items you can include in your travel bag. Some examples include refreshing misters, small cleansers and moisturizers, make sure to pack lip balm that has SPF protection for travel! Also, drink a lot of water, especially if you are in a tropical destination, to keep your skin plump. This will keep your skin hydrated and plump on your journey.

Sunscreen

We cannot emphasize enough about the importance of using sunscreen. This is especially true during summertime! This is to protect your skin from sun exposure which will reduce aging and skin cancer, ensuring you avoid sun damage. Make sure to choose a sunscreen that works for your skin type. Most of us would prefer a lightweight sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. If you have dry skin, you can get away with a heavier moisturizer. Make sure to reapply every two hours! This is the perfect addition to your travel and will help keep your skin looking luminous without compromising your routine.
