Travelling can certainly bring about a whole lot of skincare woes. Even if you are jet setting off to some luxurious location, travelling itself can bring along stress. From making sure your luggage arrives at your next destination on time, to ensuring you have secured the perfect pic for the gram. Not to mention the change in temperatures, fluctuating humidity, pollution levels, and all the yummy food and drink you may be consuming (which is deserved!).
Unfortunately, all these factors can wreak havoc on your skin if you don’t come prepared. Wherever your travel plans take you, follow our favourite skincare tips below to protect your skin and preserve that DMK Glow!
KEEP A SIMILAR SKINCARE ROUTINE
When you are travelling, it is impossible to follow your daily routine religiously. However, it is important to keep your skin balanced and as comfortable as possible. People often change up their skincare products on holiday resulting in their skin
having a bad reaction and breaking out. But when you’ve spent so long getting your skin on track, this is not the time to mess it up! Although you may not have time for your full routine, ensure you are cleansing your face at least once a day to clear away any
bad bacteria that can cause breakouts.
PACK LIGHT – WITH DMK ESSENTIALS PACKS
Oh, the struggles of packing light. We’ve all been there last minute trying to get the kilos down on your carry-on (let’s be real – every time!). The easiest way to keep the weight down is usually by reducing the number of liquids you pack. Many people resort to trying to squeeze their skincare products into mini reusable bottles but end up losing half of it down the sink.
But no need to stress, with DMK Essentials Packs you can bring your favourite skincare with you in convenient travel size bottles, without having to lug the extra weight or wasting half of it!
*All Essentials Packs include a DMK cleanser designed to cleanse the skin and remove embedded impurities. DMK offers your choice of Milk Cleanser for reactive, dry skin or Deep Pore
for oily skin types.
STAY HYDRATED IN FLIGHT
Keeping your skin hydrated on a flight is important, but often a challenge. Your skin can get super dry while on a plane due to cabins having low levels of humidity. This leads the skin to compensate by overproducing oil, leaving your face dehydrated but somehow also breaking out. Despite the obvious of drinking plenty of water, keeping your skin moisturised is also key to staying hydrated. DMK’s newly released Soothing & Hydrating Occlusive Mask is a hydrogel mask designed to lock in hydration, perfect for kicking back
and relaxing on any flight! DMK’s Herb & Mineral Mist is also great for spritzing some extra moisture onto the skin, keeping it feeling hydrated and refreshed.
STAY SUN SAFE WITH AN SPF
Not only is sunscreen important when you are sun tanning and sipping frozen margaritas on the beach, but also as important in the cooler climates. DMK’s Soleil Defence SPF 50+ protects the skin from UVA and UBA rays that contribute to premature ageing and pigmentation. It is perfect for everyday use as it does not clog the pores or leave a greasy residue. Including an SPF in your daily skincare routine is forever essential!
