The weather is getting warmer — and it looks like Summer travel is at an all-time high making up for the pandemic staycations we all became so familiar with!

If you’re planning a summer filled with adventures near and far, you’ll need to include a packing list in your plans.

While we’re not the experts on what clothes should pack for your beach getaway or camping trip, we’re here to guide you through packing all of the essential travel skincare products that will keep you looking and feeling refreshed all summer long.

Skin care in the summer looks a little different for both men and women, so let’s take a look at products that will promote healthy and glowing skin this summer.

Feel Great Travel Must Have #1: Hydra Boost Face Moisturizing Cream

After a long day on the road and in the air, once you settle in at your home away from home it's doubly important to hydrate your skin. The time you spend sleeping (for a full eight hours, hopefully ;) should never be wasted.

Use your slumber time to take care of your skin, and there's no better way to hydrate your face than using our face moisturizing cream with hyaluronic acid and vitamin c.

The silky smooth cream feels light on the skin with no sticky after feel. Moisturize, sooth, and repair your skin while you sleep... a perfect end to your traveling day.

Feel Great Travel Must Have #2: Rose Gold Facial Mist

It’s no secret that traveling is exhausting. Even if you don’t have trouble sleeping on long flights or car rides, the toll of traveling tends to affect our skin.

Our Rose Gold Facial Mist will be your BFF this summer while you travel! There’s a reason why this product is one of our best-sellers — it works magic on the skin to make it look like you’re feeling refreshed and hydrated.

Simply spritz a little on your face when your skin needs a little pick-me-up, and the nano-active gold flakes blends into your skin for a subtle shimmer that everyone's going to envy ;)

Look Great Travel Must Have #3: Vitamin C Facial Serum

Who doesn’t want glowing, hydrated skin while traveling?

Our Vitamin C Facial Serum with Gold Essence will give your face a much-needed hydration boost after (or during) your travels. You’ve likely noticed that your skin feels especially dry when you travel — this is because there are sudden environmental changes that affect the skin. Planes are notorious for taking the moisture out of our skin because the cabins contain less than 20% humidity.

Esthetician Renée Rouleau says, “It’s well known that airplane cabins have extremely low humidity which leads to skin dehydration and dryness. That’s because dry air will always seek moisture wherever it can get it, and that means it’s going to take it directly from deep within your skin.”

Here’s a skincare tip for optimal travel skincare: take your favorite skin care oils or serums on planes to apply mid-flight for much-needed hydration. Be sure to quickly use a cleansing wipe to get any dirt off your face first! This technique works for any long travel day. You’ll arrive at your dream destination with hydrated skin that makes you feel confident and ready to make incredible memories!

Look Great Travel Must Have #4: Hydrating Lip Masks

We’ve already established how traveling seems to suck the moisture right out of our skin — but did you know that the skin on our lips is thinner and more delicate than the rest of our body?

This is why you likely notice your lips become chapped before other areas of your skin become noticeably dry. You can easily fit a few of our PLUMP IT Hydrating Lip Masks in your travel bag to ensure your lips are hydrated (these are also nice because they naturally plump your lips to create a fuller look).

Skincare in the summer can be a little more challenging because of the warmer climate (this is especially true when traveling). Your skin will feel healthy if you keep a consistent routine and take extra care when traveling. We hope you have incredible travel experiences this summer!
