Travelling with your skin care can be tricky, and we're here to guide you through the process and provide you with recommendations that will make your vacation a breeze! 

Tip #1

Use your down time wisely! Time at the airport, or on a plane, is great for doing a masque or gua sha treatment! You can purchase small "sample" containers online, or at stores such as dollarama that are great for bringing small amounts of product with you. We always recommend using one of these containers for products such as face masques, eye creme, or spot treatments!

Tip #2

If you're having trouble deciding what products to bring, we suggest looking for the products that you have only a little left - this way if your bag gets lost you aren't losing a fresh jar of your favourite cream! It also means that if you finish your product on your trip, you don't have to pack as many bottles and jars on your way home!

Tip #3

Buying travel sizes once could be beneficial if you travel often as you can reuse the bottle once emptied! Great option for those that might forget what products they've put in the many unlabeled reusable containers packed in their bag. Also a great option if you are only flying with a carry on to avoid any items being thrown away at security due to the limits on liquid products! 

Tip #4

We also suggest thinking about your destination before packing skincare. It's likely that if you're heading somewhere warm and tropical you won't want to pack your heavy, luxurious cremes, or your hydration products! Stick with a basic routine that is lightweight and soothing for any compromised skin. Comparatively, if you're heading somewhere hot and dry, you'll want to bring your light weight products that deliver hydration!

Tip #5 

Avoid receiving extractions prior to your trip. Extractions can leave your skin extra reactive and sensitive to environmental aggressors. Flying is extremely drying to the skin, the diminished oxygen in the plane is not an ideal environment for proper healing. Your skin may also worsen if you are traveling to a hot and humid climate, making it difficult for it to heal properly and promoting a greater risk for infections. Including serums that prevent skin reactions two weeks prior to your trip is a great idea to help protect the skin.

Tip #6 

If you are struggling with which products to bring along, chose products that provide purpose. Light exfoliation, protection and powerful hydration will be key components to your routine. Products specific to sensitive skin and products packed with anti-inflammatory active ingredients are ideal.

SPF - last but not least, never ever forget your SPF! Wether you are traveling to a sunny destination or somewhere with colder temperatures SPF should still be your number one, always.

Your lips also need protection from the sun, Tizo Lip Protection has an SPF of 45 which is a great option along side your SPF to keep your lips moisturized and protected by the sun.
