5 Expert Tips for Travel Makeup and Skin Care

We’re a long way from the horse and buggy days, but travel still isn’t a smooth process—and it can be rough on our looks. But a number of ideas for makeup travel can keep you looking good from Point A to Point B—or any other points on the itinerary.

#1 Hydrate the Night Before
Airplane air is notorious for drying out the skin—so apply a heavy-duty moisturizer the night before so your skin is prepped. Try a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid for maximum hydration.

#2 Spritz on the Go
You should be able to bring a small spray bottle on board the plane, so bring one with rosewater toner and spray away to keep your skin fresh.

#3 Borrow Some Butter
If you happen to forget your lip balm, ask the flight attendant if they have butter. Just a dab will help keep your lips from drying out on the plane, advise the skin care experts from Adore Cosmetics

#4 No Touching
Avoid touching your face while traveling—without knowing it, you can pick up bacteria that are not good for your facial skin. Keep your hands clean with a good hand sanitizer, just in case.

#5 Stop the Frizz
A bit of hand lotion applied to frizzy parts can smooth them out and get rid of fly-aways.
