Taking care of your skin is essential every day of the year, especially when you’re travelling. When travelling, your skin is often exposed to more pollutants, and any change in temperature, humidity, or sun exposure levels may cause dryness, irritation, or breakouts.
However, do not worry! We have put together the ultimate travel skincare tips to keep your skin feeling hydrated, calm and refreshed throughout your journey.
Skincare Packing Tips
1. Bring a travel-sized skincare kit
For most people, packing light can be a challenge, especially when your luggage allowance is limited. One of the best methods for packing lighter is to reduce the size of your toiletries, opting for travel-sized products.
Explore our Sodashi Discovery Sets, with premium travel-sized products. Catering to all skin types with five unique collections to choose from.
2. Consider the weather at your destination and keep your travel skincare ritual basic.
When packing your skincare products for a trip, it is important to consider the weather at your destination as your skin’s needs vary seasonally. For instance, you may want to include a face serum when you’re going on a summer trip to prevent sun damage and pigmentation. It is also important to stick to the basics when packing your skincare, and do not bring along any new skincare products to avoid possible breakouts or bad reactions.
3. Pack your skincare products in a cosmetic water-proof bag
Time is precious when you are travelling. Having all your skincare products in one place saves time and improves the organisation of your skincare routine. We recommend using a water-resistance cosmetic bag to keep your skincare products clean and dry.
Each of our discovery sets comes with a gorgeous cosmetic bag that is designed to keep all your cosmetics safe whilst travelling and it’s water-proof making it suitable for use in the bathroom.
Four Essential Skincare Items/products To Pack While Travelling
1. Gentle Face Cleanser
Your face is exposed to dust and bacteria throughout the day. Hence, a good cleanse is an essential step in keeping your skin clean and fresh. Try our Clay Cleanser, formulated to gently remove the skin’s impurities without stripping your skin’s moisture.
Available in travel-size in our discovery set.
2. Face Toner/ Mist
Face mist often gets overlooked, but it is a crucial step, even when you’re travelling. Face mists work to prep your cleansed skin to absorb the nutrients of your next skincare steps, such as a moisturiser or serum. Whenever your skin needs a quick refresher, a spritz of face mist can help refresh and add moisture. So be sure to carry it in your everyday carry bag!
Available in travel-size in our discovery set.
3. Face Moisturiser
Regardless of your skin type and location, your skin needs to remain hydrated. When your skin is hydrated, it will naturally look glowing and plump! Consider the weather at your destination and choose the right type of face moisturiser for your next adventure. For instance, when you’re on a winter trip, we recommend bringing a thicker moisturiser to replenish the loss of moisture in your skin. When you’re on a summer trip, we recommend bringing a lightweight face moisturiser to prevent greasy skin.
Available in travel-size in our discovery set.
4. Eye Mask
While travel is fun and exciting, many people experience jet lag and have fewer hours of sleep during their trip, which may lead to puffy eyes or dark circles under the eyes. An eye mask is a perfect treatment to instantly revitalise your eyes the next day. After cleansing your face, apply our luxurious Eye Mask, gently massage it and leave it on for 10- 15 minutes before removing it with a warm, damp face cloth or cotton pads.
Available in travel-size in our discovery set.
If you have extra space in your luggage, you may also bring a skincare treatment kit (try our Elite Discovery Set) to pamper yourself on the trip! The Elite Discovery Set contains an exclusive collection of Sodashi Best Sellers in travel-size.
