The holiday season is upon us and traveling to our holiday destination might also affect our skin.
Here are a few top tips to help you get through it.
Invest in medical grade skin care:
Quality medical grade skin care products last longer and offer more benefits than over-the-counter products. It has a higher percentage active ingredient and less hydrators and fillers which means that you can use less product and get better results. If you are uncertain which product will be best for your skin, consider scheduling an appointment with your skin therapist for a product consultation.

Packing Sunblock:
This might probably be the most important product that you should consider taking with you on holiday.

Tips during traveling:
A long plane ride or drive in your car can dehydrate the skin especially because of air conditioners. To minimize dryness, you can apply your favourite moisturiser before boarding your plane or before your long drive. Pack your favourite bottle of facial mist or facial hydrator to spirits during the long drive or flight, this will ensure that the skin will feel refreshed.

Keeping your hands off your face will prevent breakouts. We are also more exposed to bacteria traveling at the airport or even public restrooms. Make sure that you also pack some antibacterial hand sanitizer or hand wipes.
