Skin Care
for the busy traveler What should I pack and why?
Let's start with the most basic skin knowledge to help you understand the
why.
Did you know our bodies function
on about a 28-day cycle? We have about 28 layers of skin cells. Every day
our skin creates and should lose a layer of skin cells, but travel, diet,
stress and skin type can effect this simple process.
This is why, along with cleansing your skin, gentle exfoliation is important
to remove dirt, oil and cells. Choose one with rice bran or corn meal; it
should be gentle. Apricots can be too abrasive. Dry skin can benefit from
exfoliation two to three times a week and every other day if it's gentle
for oily skin.
Exfoliation will allow for better
product penetration as well as smoother, less dull skin, a must for the
smoker. Those flakes on your nose, cheeks, face, may not be dry skin but
dead skin cells.
Toner is a personal preference and with so many to choose from it should
be hydrating, not stripping like alcohol and other products. These products
only dehydrate the skin. The dirt you think you see on your cotton is only
dead skin cells, because you have not exfoliated.
Hydrating toners are great in your carry-on for a quick pick-me-up on long
trips. Choose one with rose water or aloe. Moisture is something all skin
types and genders need. Moisture is a must since skin does not produce moisture
of its own, except for sweat, which has salt and dehydrates.
Dry skin can always use moisture and sometimes heavy ones to seal and prevent
further dehydration. Oily skin will get oilier if not hydrated but congested
if mineral oils are used, so keep it light and oil-free.
Acne skin can look great with the help of medicated scrubs, oil-free moisturizer
and benzol peroxide.
And, remember to take sunscreen for all skin types. It's the only real anti-age
cream.
