Tips and Tricks for Traveling with Skincare

If you’re getting ready to head out of town, packing can be crazy enough, so let us help you make skincare a little less stressful. First piece of advice: you may want to avoid introducing any new products to your routine right before or during a trip. Purging (increased breakouts) and sensitivity (dryness, redness) can be common as your skin adjusts, which can take up to 6-8 weeks.

Four Skincare Travel Hacks We Love

Hack 1: Put Toning Pads in a plastic Ziploc-style bag to save space. Just make sure it’s tightly sealed! Don’t let those bad boys dry out on your vacay or work trip. That would be a major bummer. Whomp, whomp.

Hack 2: If you have to travel light, make sure to at least bring the Key 3:

Vitamin C (Liquid Gold)
Retinoid (RetinAL Skin Therapy)
SPF (SPF Duo for Sheer + Tinted Protection)

These are the foundational items for all skincare routines. So if you can’t take your full regimen with you—let’s say you’re living the dream, backpacking around Europe—these three staples will keep your skin properly nourished and protected.

Hack 3: If you're headed to the beach or on the boat, put SPF in the cooler to keep it cool. Join us in a a resounding, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” The only thing cooler than sun protection is reapplication that also cool’s your skin!

Hack 4: Travel with friends who use Barefaced. In case you forget something, you can always use theirs. Sharing is caring.
