Don't let jet lag wreck your skin! Our Top Picks For Rejuvenating Skin Care On-The-Go

And to support the popular saying, no wonder traveling is great. It makes you experience and learn so much about life in general. However, the long hours that are consumed in order to reach a certain place sometimes suck the fun out of it. They can make you feel tired physically and also take a toll on your skin. Your body can find it difficult to sleep, build concentration and have a sense of fatigueness almost all times of the day. These symptoms on the body are so intense for you to ignore the effect it has on your skin and that is possibly why skin problems become of less importance when dealing with jet-lag.

So how does your skin become a victim of jet lag? Sitting in cabins with high pressure re-circulated air that is very low in terms of humidity, aka dry air which drops the moisture levels in the skin and causes dryness. Being possibly 40,000 feet up also exposes the skin to UV rays through glass windows which again is alarming for the skin. Next up, flying to different areas comes with climate change and time zone change which affects the sleep cycle and that directly means sleep deprived skin. For all these reasons, it is of utmost importance to have travel skincare and travel friendly skincare products. They may effectively prevent and beat the dull skin signs served by the long hauls and extensive travel hours.

Airplanes are very dry which makes your skin and lips feel dry as well. The key is to consume possibly hundreds of gallons of water, kid you not, drink any amount of water higher than your usual consumption. Alcohol might be tempting but refrain from having it before you board the flight since it is a renowned element to cause dehydration in the body. The pro tip will be to eat a water-rich diet before 24 hours of your flight and drink plenty of water before and during the flight so that there’s enough hydrating content in your system to overcome the dry aircraft atmosphere. 

To support your skin’s health during travel, use humectants that tap the water in your skin and prevent it from drying. Oily skin friends usually complain to have oilier skin during traveling but whatever the case may be, hydrating serum is the way to go. Conscious Chemist Hydro+ Multi Hyaluronic Serum is packed with Ceramide Complex and 3% Hyaluronic Acid that penetrates deep and hydrates every layer of the skin intensely. It glides and absorbs easily onto the skin leaving it extremely hydrated, plumper and fuller. The hydrating serum replenishes the lost moisture and enables the skin to hold water all-day long, perfect for managing dull, dry and excessive oiliness on the skin.

How can we skip this part of the skincare routine when you are literally going up close to the sun. We know that we recommended a moisturizer with SPF but that nowhere means you can skip the SPF altogether. Sunrays have the potential to touch your skin through the glass windows of the aircraft and cause damage to the cells. Therefore, using a moisturizer with SPF and then also applying a dedicated layer of SPF should be a must-have on your travel skin care routine. Conscious Chemist Sundrink Hybrid Gel Non-Greasy Sunscreen has ceramide complex that helps to strengthen and firm the skin barrier. The SPF power is at 50 to provide maximum sun protection to the skin and prevent sunburns and sun tan.  

Yes, face is first of our visibility but we cannot be much ignorant towards our body skin. Just as the skin of our face suffers, our body skin also gets dehydrated and loses moisture. Lather your skin with Conscious Chemist Rapid Repair Retinol Body Treatment which is a retinol body cream that also consists of hyaluronic acid that nourishes the skin and locks in moisture. Massage it deeply onto your skin to provide long lasting hydration to it. The formula also treats saggy and wrinkled skin, delaying the onset of aging effectively!
