As we slowly venture back out into the big, wide world exploring new spots or revisiting our favourite ones, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning—what to pack, what not to forget. But often, our skincare routine ends up being the first thing we neglect.
Whether you’re heading to the beach, hitting the slopes, or soaking in the sights of a bustling city, travel can throw your skin off balance in unexpected ways.
It often starts with the long-haul flight. Not only are you generally uncomfortable, but your skin tends to react one of two ways: it either becomes extremely dry or leans the other way, exacerbating oily skin and leaving you feeling greasy. Either way, by the time you land, you’re likely not to be feeling fresh, hydrated.
The Pre Departure Prep – When you’re visiting the clinic, be sure to let your therapist know if you have any travel plans coming up. That way, we can chat about how to streamline your skincare routine while you’re away. Since space is often limited when traveling, we can help you swap out or adjust certain products in your regimen to better suit your destination and make packing a whole lot easier. It’s still just as important to nourish, hydrate, and protect your skin—even while you’re taking some well-deserved time out.
Your In-Flight Skin Survival Guide – Our skin definitely isn’t a fan of air conditioning. If you’ve flown before, you’ve probably noticed just how dry you can feel—sometimes even the inside of your nose starts to sting from the lack of moisture in the air. That dryness takes a toll on your skin, especially if you already lean toward having dry skin (which, let’s be honest, many of us do).
Our go to skincare products that are a must on your journey
O-Biome Hydrating & Setting Spray– This spray is basically hydration in a bottle. As soon as that dry, tight feeling kicks in, just give your face a spritz for an instant burst of moisture. It’s a compact, travel-friendly essential that fits perfectly in your in-flight bag—and it’s just as handy once you land, helping keep your skin feeling fresh and hydrated throughout your trip.
Youth Activating Oil-Balm– Balm-to-oil luxury at its finest. Powered by Macadamia, Jojoba, and Olive Oils, this rich treatment helps protect and strengthen your skin’s barrier. This little beauty is a concentrated, anti-aging balm that melts into an oil, locking in moisture and keeping your skin deeply nourished and happy—especially during those moisture-zapping flights.
Wherever You Land – Wind, hail, or shine—sun protection is non-negotiable. Even if skincare is the last thing on your mind in the excitement of finally arriving at your destination, don’t let this one essential slip through the cracks. SPF is your skin’s best travel companion.
If you’ve got a trip coming up—safe travels! And if you’re still in the planning phase, don’t forget to prep your skincare too. It doesn’t need to be complicated—just simple, effective, and ready to go.
