How to Protect Your Skin While Traveling

Airports, airplanes, and new climates can challenge your skin’s balance from sun-damaged exposure to dry cabin air. The key to healthy skin on the go is a simple, protective routine that keeps your barrier strong and skin hydrated.

Here’s what your travel-friendly skincare routine should include:

  • Cleanse gently: Start and end your day with a mild cleanser to prevent clogged pores and buildup from long flights or sunscreen layers.
  • Use physical sunscreen: Always choose a tinted mineral sunscreen like HydraTint Pro SPF 36. It’s a TSA-approved formula that provides broad-spectrum protection without leaving a white cast.
  • Apply SPF 30 or higher: To protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, reapply applied sunscreen every two hours especially after swimming or sweating.
  • Don’t forget your lips: Use an SPF-infused lip balm to prevent dryness and discoloration from sun exposure.
  • Stay hydrated: A lightweight moisturizer seals in water and supports your barrier against environmental factors like recycled plane air and city pollution.
  • Target concerns: Brightening serums can help fade dark spots and repair sun-damaged areas during your trip.

Dermatologist tip: Even indoors or in cloudy weather, consistent SPF use keeps your skin from the sun protected and radiant. High-quality medical-grade skincare like Alastin ensures you’re not just covering up damage you’re actively protecting the skin and preventing new signs of aging wherever you travel.
