As summer arrives, we Aussies embrace our favorite activities: soaking up the sunshine, enjoying gatherings with family and friends in the great outdoors, and embarking on exciting travel adventures. These vibrant months are perfect for creating unforgettable memories, but they also present unique challenges for maintaining a skincare routine.

While indulging in outdoor fun and perhaps enjoying a few refreshing drinks, it can be easy to neglect our skincare routine. However, adhering to your established rituals can significantly reduce visible signs of stress and help you remain centered during busy travel periods. Moreover, consider adding new skincare products or innovative hacks tailored to your changing environment and lifestyle. By staying proactive about your skincare, you can ensure that your skin remains radiant and healthy throughout your travels.

With this in mind, we’re excited to share some expert tips on how to keep your skin glowing and healthy while you explore new destinations.

Prepare for Jet Lag: Effective Strategies to Tackle It Before You Fly

Ah, the dreaded jet lag: an unwelcome but often unavoidable aspect of long-distance travel, particularly for Australians venturing to distant corners of the globe. Long-haul flights can leave you feeling disoriented and fatigued, but with the right preparation, you can minimize its impact and bounce back more quickly.

Although there is no magic solution to completely eliminate jet lag, implementing a few smart strategies can significantly reduce its effects. First and foremost, prioritize hydration. Dehydration exacerbates jet lag symptoms, so it’s essential to consume plenty of water before, during, and after your flight. This simple act can combat the drying effects of the cabin air and enhance your overall comfort. Additionally, steer clear of dehydrating beverages such as alcohol, tea, and coffee.

Equally important is the hydration of your skin! Keeping your skin well-moisturized is key to minimizing the fatigue-related effects of jet lag. For instance, using a product like our Instant Revival Booster post-flight can revitalize your skin and serve as a powerful remedy against dehydration and fatigue.

Essential On-Board Skincare Practices for Healthy Skin During Flights

While staying hydrated is crucial, incorporating these skincare hacks during your flight is also paramount. Our founder, Sharon, swears by these tips, especially on those long journeys from Australia to the UK.

Have you ever experienced symptoms like sniffles, a sore throat, or even a full-blown illness after a long-haul flight? You’re not alone! The recirculated air in airplanes is notoriously drying, which can compromise your nasal passages and make you more susceptible to airborne germs.

To combat this, consider applying a little of our Pure Jojoba Oil around your nostrils during the flight. This simple measure can create a protective barrier against potential pathogens.

Additionally, don’t forget to keep your skin hydrated while in the air. Regularly spritzing your face with one of our hydrating mists, like the Rose Hydrating Mist or the Active Marine Mist, can provide essential moisture. To lock in that hydration, follow up with two drops of Pure Jojoba Oil immediately after spritzing. This dual approach ensures that your skin stays fresh and dewy throughout your journey.

How to Soothe and Heal Sunburn: Effective Remedies for Relief

Nearly all of us have dealt with the uncomfortable reality of sunburn at some point, whether through accidental exposure or in pursuit of that elusive healthy glow. It’s important to remember that as Sharon wisely states, “sunburn is nature’s way of telling us to get out of the sun.” Despite this warning, many still seek that sun-kissed look, often ignoring the risks associated with excessive sun exposure.

We all understand the importance of avoiding the harsh midday sun when UV radiation is at its peak, yet popular beaches are often bustling with sunbathers from 11 am to 2 pm. So, when sunburn strikes, how can you find relief?

During the scorching summer months, keep our Active Marine Mist in the refrigerator for an instant cooling effect. Spritz it over your face to rehydrate your skin, followed by a few drops of Rose Plus Booster or Daily Soother Booster for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and reparative benefits. These products work synergistically to calm and restore your skin after sun exposure.

Another indispensable product for sunburn relief is our MultiBALM, which features calendula oil renowned for its anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. This versatile balm can provide much-needed relief for sunburn as well as other skin ailments such as eczema, acne, rashes, and insect bites.

While it may be challenging to maintain healthy and glowing skin while traveling, we encourage you to remain dedicated to your skincare rituals no matter where your adventures take you. This commitment not only benefits your skin but also enhances your overall health and well-being throughout your travels.
