The Travel Challenge for Mature Skin

As we age, our skin faces two significant challenges during travel:

Increased Sensitivity to Environmental Changes

Mature skin has a thinner barrier function, making it more vulnerable to new environments. This means temperature fluctuations, pollution, and climate changes can have a more pronounced effect.

Greater Hydration Needs

With naturally decreasing oil production after 45, mature skin requires consistent hydration support, especially when traveling through different climate zones.

Pre-Travel Preparation

Start boosting your skin's hydration levels at least a week before your trip. Focus on strengthening your skin barrier with products containing optimal concentrations of hydrating ingredients.

This preparation gives your skin a "hydration reserve" to draw upon during travel.

In-Flight Essentials

The recycled air in airplane cabins can reduce skin moisture by up to 30% in just a few hours.

Here's how to combat this:

  • Minimal Makeup Skip foundation and heavy products that can further dry out your skin during flights.
  • Strategic Hydration Apply a concentrated hyaluronic acid serum before boarding and halfway through your flight. The 3% concentration makes a significant difference in maintaining hydration levels.
  • Light Reapplication Bring travel-sized versions of your essential hydrating products for easy reapplication.
  • Destination-Specific Adjustments

Humid Climates

Focus on lightweight hydration and increased sun protection.

Dry Climates

Layer your hydrating products and seal them with a richer moisturizer to prevent moisture loss.

City Environments

Add antioxidant protection to shield against increased pollution exposure.

Creating a Simplified Travel Routine

Morning Routine:

  • Gentle cleanse
  • Hydrating serum
  • Moisturizer with SPF

Evening Routine:

  • Thorough cleanse
  • Concentrated hydrating serum
  • Night recovery product

Maintaining Balance While Traveling

Stay Internally Hydrated Drink plenty of water, particularly on flights and in dry climates.

Adjust to Time zones maintain your skincare routine according to the local time to help your skin adapt.

Listen to Your Skin be flexible and respond to what your skin needs in changing environments.

Pack these essentials for on-the-go hydration:

  • Travel-sized 3% hyaluronic acid serum
  • Facial mist for mid-day refreshing
  • Lip and eye area protection

Coming Home: Post-Travel Recovery

Upon returning home, help your skin recover with a hydration-focused routine.

Our DERM™ 3% Hyaluronic Acid Serum is particularly effective for post-travel skin recovery, helping to restore optimal moisture levels and repair any environmental damage.

Remember: With the right preparation and carefully selected products, mature skin can maintain its radiance throughout your travels.

The key is consistent hydration with properly concentrated ingredients that work effectively in changing environments.

Bon voyage to both you and your glowing skin!
