Travelling is something we all look forward to, but it can also bring a few challenges when it comes to maintaining a consistent skincare routine. Throw in some dehydration from the plane or lack of time to cleanse thoroughly due to being in transit, and you can almost guarantee your skin will start to freak out thanks to environmental changes.
Keeping your skin healthy and radiant while on the move requires a bit of planning, and if you want to look your best while on vacation it’s worth taking the time to plan ahead.
Don’t fret, we’ve curated a travel guide to keep you glowing on your next travel adventure!
Cleanser
Cleansing is simply non-negotiable regardless of where you are in the world. It dissolves makeup and removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities, prepping your skin for the rest of your routine. Flying to your destination? Our Marula Oil Cleanser is a must have to nourish the skin as you cleanse. Regardless of your skin type, travelling on a plane will suck the moisture straight out of your skin so it’s important to adjust your routine to support hydration.
Our Award Winning Marula Oil Cleanser contains a purifying blend of natural oils and antioxidant rich actives to cleanse the skin and gently dissolves makeup while restoring moisture balance for a healthy, hydrated glow.
Pair it with our Bamboo Cleansing Cloth and Makeup Remover Wipes to provide gentle exfoliation while removing any final product and makeup residue.
The perfect travel companion for your complexion, our Bamboo Cleansing Cloth & Makeup Remover Wipes can be used alongside your favourite cleanser or on their own for a gentle water wash to keep skin smooth and fresh.
Toner
Whilst toners are great for additional hydration or skin balancing support post cleansing, they are also helpful for refreshing skin resets while travelling. Our Rose Hydrating Mist Toner contains a potent, nourishing blend of superfood actives to hydrate and balance the skin’s pH. Bursting with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, this can be used in your daily skincare routine and also re-applied for hydration top-ups over the top of your makeup to bring your complexion back to life when it’s looking dull and dry.
Moisturiser
Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, especially in flight time and throughout changing climates. For an all-round hydration hit that’s suitable for all skin types, you can’t go past our Hyaluronic Moisture Cream. Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and skin soothing Bisabolol and Emu Apple, you’ll lock in hydration while protecting skin from environmental stressors that may cause irritation. While our hydration hero packs a punch, it’s creamy texture is lightweight and suitable for all skin types.
No-Mess Masking
Masking on the go can be messy, and in most cases unrealistic when travelling. But, have you met our Beauty Sleep Mask? Our restorative and deeply hydrating sleep mask was specifically formulated to support your skin to repair and plump overnight. And the best part - you don’t need to wash it off! Designed to be applied as the last step in your PM skincare routine, this is the perfect travel buddy when flying. Simply apply to clean skin (immediately after cleansing or following your favourite PM serums for best results) and let it work it’s magic while you get some shut eye in the clouds. If there’s any residue when you wake, simply wipe away with our Bamboo Cleansing Cloth or Makeup Remover Wipes.
Eye & Lip Care
Dry under eyes and lips are common problem areas when travelling, so you’ll want skincare support that lasts! LAMAV’s Intense Repair Eye Balm is rich in texture and provides a barrier to lock in hydration, firm and strengthen the skin as it soaks in all the goodness. A versatile travel essential, it can be applied to the under eye area, lips and any dry areas that need a moisture lock.
Safe Tanning On The Go
Most of us travel to relax, but sometimes the adventure of getting to our destination can leave us looking tired and dull. LAMAV’s Face Tan Serum is a luxe facial treatment to fight the visible signs of ageing while building a light, radiant glow. Keep your skin looking healthy and fresh by applying daily until your desired colour is achieved and maintain your sun kissed glow by topping up 2-3 times per week.
SPF
Sun protection is essential for age defence and overall skin health no matter your complexion or destination. Did you know you can even get sunburn and skin damage in the snow!
Multi-Use Makeup
Multi-use products make life so much easier when travelling. You don’t have to pack as many products, which means lighter travel and no rustling around in your makeup bag looking for things when you’re in a hurry.
LAMAV’s BB Cream is the perfect travel buddy for your complexion, offering a smooth complexion, buildable coverage and nourishing, long lasting hydration. Skin feeling dry? Mix our BB cream with your daily moisturiser for a glowing skin tint that evens out your complexion while letting it shine through. Experiencing oil overload? Apply over a small amount of your daily moisturiser for a velvety-matte finish.
Sunkissed Bronzer
Regardless of where you’re travelling to and what your complexion type, we all want to achieve a luminous complexion. LAMAV’s Sunkissed Bronzer provides a healthy glow while nourishing and protecting your skin with the addition of natural minerals and age-defying bio-actives. It’s also multi-use, making it an on the go makeup must-have! Apply as a contour, achieve a healthy glow by applying to the upper cheek area, forehead and chin, or use as an eyeshadow to elevate your evening makeup routine.
Don’t Forget your Hands
Frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitiser while travelling will quickly dry out your hands. The solution? LAMAV’s Vitamin C Hand Cream. Our hand cream is the perfect size for your handbag or in-flight carry on and a little goes a long way. Enriched with skin-replenishing bio-actives including CoEnzyme Q10 and Shea Butter, this fast-absorbing cream provides a powerful antioxidant shield, supporting skin repair and delivering instant hydration. Another versatile product that can also be used on any dry areas of the body to boost and lock in hydration.
Downsize for in-flight skincare
An in flight skincare routine calls for compact products that make travel lighter, more convenient and meet travel size requirements. Pack these carry-on must haves on your next holiday:
Makeup remover wipes
Ideal for a quick water cleanse on the plane to remove excess oil and provide a light exfoliation prior to your landing skincare routine.
