If you’re ready to take a trip, but don’t want to take a vacation from your normal skincare routine, we’re right there with you. You can still enjoy time away from home while keeping up your good skincare practices. You’ll want to take your routine with you on the go, or you can even cut your normal routine down to three or less products while you’re gone — the choice is really up to you. Either way, if you’re flying, you’re going to want to make sure you’re following the proper protocol for packing products in your carry-on and luggage. (You can find more information below under: What is the travel size for cosmetics?)
If you’re planning on driving yourself and you have enough room in your bags or luggage for your whole routine, then by all means, bring it. However, if you’re only wanting to take a few things with you from your routine, then we suggest taking travel-size products or travel-size skincare sets that include a cleanser, moisturizer, and overnight serum.
When you’re getting ready to make a trip by flight, the airport has its own set of rues to go by, especially when it comes to travel-size toiletries and cosmetics. TSA has rules regarding cosmetics in your carry-on bag. If there is any confusion at all, your best bet is just to pack your travel-size toiletries, cosmetics, and makeup in your luggage that you plan on checking.
If you’d like to know the exact rules for packing cosmetics in your bag, here they are:
The airport will make sure you’re following these guidelines and will always check your carry-on bag to be certain. If they find anything that doesn’t follow their rules, a lot of times they will ask you to put it inside your bag to be checked or you may have to throw it out before going through security.
Two main things that can really mess with our skin when traveling is when we don’t get enough sleep and long plane rides, which can dehydrate your skin, too. Both these problems can be solved with some quick fixes, besides the obvious one of getting rest when you can. You can try using a hydrating sheet mask or eye mask like this ORGAID Anti-Aging and Moisturizing Organic Sheet Mask during your flight.
Here are some other tips to keep in mind during your travels to keep your skin clear
