Ask Ava-Ann: Travel Skincare Tips for the Holidays

Hi Ava-Ann, I’m traveling for the holidays soon and I’m worried about my skin getting dry or irritated during the trip. Do you have any skincare tips for traveling? – Linda P.

Hey Linda!

I hear you—traveling can really throw your skin off balance! Whether it’s the dry air on a plane, the cold weather, or just being in a different environment, your skin can start to feel pretty unhappy. But don’t worry—I’ve got some simple, easy skincare tips that’ll keep your skin glowing and hydrated while you travel. ✈️💖

1. Simplify Your Routine 👏

The last thing you want is to lug around your entire skincare routine. I have a lot of products—and I mean a lot!—to keep my skin glowing. But honestly, when you're traveling, all you really need to ensure your skin stays happy and hydrated is a gentle cleanser and a nourishing moisturizer.

But if you've got room for more... 

2. Stay Hydrated, Inside & Out! 💧

Traveling can be a real dehydrator for your skin. Between the dry airplane air and changes in climate, you need to make hydration your top priority. I always keep a hydrating mist in my bag to give my skin a little pick-me-up throughout the day. Aloe vera or rose water are my go-to choices—they’re gentle, soothing, and quick to apply!

💡 Pro Tip: Drink lots of water during your trip—it helps from the inside out!

3. Lock In Moisture 🧴

The colder the weather, the more moisture your skin will need. That’s why I make sure to pack our Fresh Collagen Body Milk—because it’s not just your face that needs extra love, it’s your entire body! Trust me, your skin will thank you after a long flight or a chilly day out exploring.

💡 Pro Tip: Apply your body milk before you board your flight and again once you land. It’ll give your skin that extra glow you need.

4. SPF Is A Must! ☀️

It doesn’t matter if you're heading to a cold climate or sunny beaches—SPF is a must! The sun's rays can be tricky, and they can sneak up on you, even when it’s cloudy or cold outside.

I always make sure to pack a good sunscreen and apply it daily, especially when I'm traveling to new places. It's one of the easiest ways to protect your skin from those sneaky UV rays!

5. Don’t Forget Your Feet! 👣

After a day of traveling, whether you’ve been walking around or sitting on a plane, your feet deserve some extra care. That’s where our Soothing Foot Cream comes in. It’s perfect for soothing tired, dry feet and keeping them soft and comfortable on the go.

6. Travel-Sized Essentials ✈️

If you've got products that come in bigger bottles, but you really want to bring them (we've all been there!), transfer them into travel-sized bottles.

It keeps things light and easy while still ensuring you have everything you need to keep your skin feeling amazing. It’s a small step that makes a big difference when you're on the go!

I hope these tips help you feel more confident and comfortable while you travel this holiday season. You don’t have to worry about your skin—just stay hydrated, pack smart, and keep your routine simple. You’ve got this! Safe travels and enjoy the holidays! 🎄🎁
