Easy Tips to Keep Your Skin Hydrated While Travelling

Travelling can lead to changes in your skin, such as dryness, sensitivity, or breakouts. These challenges can be minimised by keeping your skin hydrated and protected.

Protecting Your Skin’s Water Levels

Think of your skin as a bottle of water with the lid on. Using ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and essential fatty acids (EFAs) helps to lock in moisture. Hyaluronic acid increases hydration levels, while EFAs create a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss.

Choosing the Right Cleanser

Many people mistakenly choose the wrong cleanser. A good rule of thumb is to avoid cleansers that leave your skin feeling tight, especially those that foam excessively or contain strong exfoliating agents. Harsh cleansers can strip away natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Instead, opt for a gentle, non-foaming cleanser to maintain hydration and protect the skin’s natural barrier.

The Role of Essential Fatty Acids in Hydration

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are beneficial oils that help maintain the skin’s strength and moisture levels. Products such as Timexpert Rides Elixir Anti-Ageing Face Oil are enriched with EFAs, reinforcing the skin’s barrier and preventing dehydration.

Deep Hydration with Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the skin and functions like a sponge, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This ingredient helps plump and hydrate the skin. When combined with EFAs, it forms a protective layer that seals in moisture, keeping the skin smooth and supple.

Simple Skincare Routine for Hydration

Use a gentle cleansing milk to remove impurities without stripping moisture.
Apply a hydrating toning lotion to prepare the skin for further treatment.
While your skin is still damp, use a hyaluronic acid serum for deep hydration.
Lock in moisture with an essential fatty acid oil, such as Timexpert Rides Elixir.
For an extra glow, exfoliate every seven to ten days with an enzyme-based scrub that gently removes dead skin cells without irritation.

Travel-Friendly Skincare Essentials

Travelling with smaller versions of your skincare products ensures you maintain hydration on the go. The 30ml Hyaluronic Acid and 20ml Oxygenating Moisturiser are perfect for travel, providing hydration and protection without taking up much space.
