When traveling, environmental changes, irregular work and rest, ultraviolet rays and other factors can easily burden the skin. Reasonable skin care steps can help keep the skin in condition. Here's a practical travel skincare guide:
---
* * 1. Basic skin care steps (mainly simplified) * *
1. * * Cleaning * *
-Choose gentle amino acid cleansing products and avoid soap bases (to avoid breaking the skin barrier).
-If the water quality of the travel place is poor, rinse your face with bottled water or use a leave-in cleanser.
-Note: Disposable cleansing towels can be used to clean oil on airplanes/high-speed trains.
2. * * Moisturizing * *
-Choose skin care products according to the climate: highly moisturizing cream (such as ceramides) for dry areas, and refreshing lotion for hot and humid areas.
-Take moisturizing spray with you (hyaluronic acid or hot spring water ingredients are recommended) to replenish water at any time.
-The humidity on the plane is low, so you can apply moisturizing cream or sleeping mask thickly.
3. * * Sun Protection * *
-For outdoor travel, choose SPF 50 +/PA + + + + waterproof sunscreen, and reapply it every 2 hours.
-Physical sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sun protection clothing) needs to be superimposed on the plateau/seaside.
-Physical sunscreen (containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) is preferred for sensitive skin.

* * II. Special care (prepared as needed) * *
-* * Repair * *: Use aloe vera gel/soothing mask promptly after exposure to the sun (recommended with centella asiatica and B 5 ingredients).
-* * First aid category * *: acne patch, anti-inflammatory ointment (such as fusidic acid), anti-allergic essence (such as ecdoin).
-* * Portable * *: Bring samples or bottles to reduce baggage burden.

* * 3. Key points of skin care in different travel scenarios * *
1. * * Seaside/Plateau * *
-Sunscreen is the core! Ultraviolet rays are highly reflective and need full-body protection (including hair and behind ears).
-Rinse with clean water in time after soaking in seawater to avoid dryness caused by salt residue.
-Repair light damage with repairing essence + moisturizing mask at night.
2. * * City trip * *
-When the air pollution is serious, strengthen cleaning (double cleaning with cleansing oil + facial cleansing can be used).
-Wear oil control products to wear makeup for a long time, and use oil-absorbing paper to avoid pore blockage.
3. * * Long flight * *
-If the cabin is extremely dry, you can apply a moisturizing mask in advance, or apply petroleum jelly to the lips/corners of the eyes.
-Avoid taking the opportunity with makeup and reduce the burden on skin.

* * IV. Precautions * *
-* * Streamline skincare * *: Avoid trying new products while traveling to reduce allergy risk.
-* * Diet adjustment * *: Drink plenty of water, supplement vitamin C (citrus fruits), and eat less high-sugar and high-salt foods.
-* * Sleep guarantee * *: Try to ensure the quality of sleep, and use cold compress to relieve edema after staying up late.
-* * Emergency treatment * *: Discontinue skin care products when allergic, apply wet compresses with normal saline, and take antihistamines orally if necessary.
