Whether you’re at the beach, in the mountains, enjoying the desert, exploring the big city, or simply staying close to home, there are some essentials that need to be on your skincare packing list to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and protected during all of your summer travels:
- Cleanser: Opt for a gentle formula that can remove sweat, saltwater, pollution, and sunscreen as well as protect the natural oils in your skin.
- Moisturizer: Hydrating and moisture-retaining ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin can be especially helpful to keep your skin feeling its best during your summer travels and beyond. Click here to shop our line of moisturizing lotions.
- Sunscreen: Always aim for an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Hair protectant: Opt for a leave-in conditioner with UV protection or a sunscreen specifically formulated for your scalp.
- Lip balm with SPF: Be sure to reapply frequently!
- Hydrating Face mist: If you’re in a hot climate, a face mist can refresh and hydrate your skin all day long.
- Hydrating face mask: A perfect way to show your skin some love after those fun-filled summer days.
- Hydrating eye cream: To combat any travel puffiness and potential dark circles.
- Aloe vera gel: Because, yes, no matter how hard you try, sunburn can still happen.
- After-sun gel or lotion: To help soothe your skin and help prevent any peeling from too much sun exposure. Look for ingredients like aloe vera and antioxidants to get the most out of this skincare product.
- Water bottle: A key to summer skin health is hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
- Hat: The wider the brim, the better
- Sunglasses: To protect the delicate skin around your eyes as well as your eyes, aim for 100% UV protection.
- Protective clothing: Give your skin some extra TLC by wearing clothing that is lightweight and breathable, and if your clothing also has SPF protection? That’s even better!
While those last three aren’t technically “skincare products,” they’re crucial to protecting your skin, especially during the warmer months, and a water bottle should be on your skincare list all year long. No matter the season, aim to drink ½ your body weight in ounces every day plus more to make up for any water loss due to being in a warmer or more humid environment and to make up for any sweat loss while you’re working out and doing all those fun summertime activities.
