Whether you’re flying, spending time outdoors, or walking around the city all day, your skin takes a beating during travel. It’s important to take extra care of your complexion in these situations – from applying SPF daily to exfoliating at night.
One eco-friendly brand to add to your rotation of travel essentials is Eminence Organics, a skin care company that has been creating natural, organic products through sustainable farming and green practices since 1958. Their products are cruelty-free, and formulated without harmful ingredients like parabens, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals and triclosans. Best of all, most can be found in convenient travel-size bottles.
Here are some of my favorite items to pack:
The Stone Crop Gel Wash is a facial wash that’s perfect for all skin types. It helps even out skin tone and clear up blemishes without drying – and since you want to pack double-duty products to save space in your suitcase, it also doubles as an eye makeup remover.
The value of keeping your skin hydrated on the road can’t be exaggerated – it’s really the secret to looking great despite the elements and a lack of sleep. The Rosehip & Lemongrass Soothing Hydrator helps moisturize, soothe, and reduce redness of skin that has been overexposed to the sun or harsh winds, for example, on the ski slopes. Calming ingredients include camphor and menthol, which leave your skin feeling tingly and refreshed.
Another great product for giving your face a lift after a late night or early morning is the Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream. The cool, stainless steel rollerball applicator feels like a massage for your tired under eye area, while ingredients like hibiscus and ice wine tighten and lift skin to reduce puffiness and dark circles within two minutes.
Beyond dark circles, travel can also leave your skin looking dull, so exfoliating is a must. The Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant is a powder exfoliating product that can be added to your cleanser, or mixed with water. Strawberry serves as a cleanser and astringent, while rhubarb delivers ascorbic acid and vitamins to help fight wrinkles. Using it will help brighten your complexion by removing dead skin cells and infusing your skin with antioxidants.
If you’re taking a lot of tours, walking around outside, or participating in adventure activities, it’s always important to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Eminence has a couple options, including the Tropical Vanilla Day Cream, which has an SPF 32 thanks to active ingredient zinc oxide. The cream also smells great, and contains shea butter, an excellent moisturizer and emollient. Alternatively, Sun Defense Minerals are easy to carry anywhere, and provide water-resistant sun protection (SPF 30) on the go.
To help keep the minerals in place, add a spray of Stone Crop Hydrating Mist, which will help set the translucent powder for longer wear. It is also a must-have for a long, drying flight: a mid-air spritz provides instant refreshment that will leave your skin feeling smooth and moisturized.
