Skin Saving Travel Tips

Let me ask you a quick question:
How many hours do you spend in a car, bus, train, or airplane every month?
It’s tough sometimes… especially summer when we are traveling more. We take many trips in the summer, but right now, we have driven from south Florida to Vermont. Long trip!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve noticed that whenever you spend too long in a car, train, or airplane – even just an hour or two – you don’t look nearly as fresh and bright as you did at the beginning of the trip…
There are a few reasons for this:
  • Dry, recirculated air takes moisture out of skin
  • Stress causes pronounced sagging
  • Dehydration causes flaking and creasing
  • Reduced circulation causes dullness and blotchiness
  • Fluid retention causes eye bags and puffiness
All these factors combined can make skin look YEARS older… fast.
So whether you’re a big traveler who spends a lot of time on airplanes, in cars, or even someone who just gets stuck in traffic once in awhile – I want to share some tips for how to revive your skin post-travel.
