Come June holidays, and a lot of us tend to spend more time outdoors, or away on holiday. Either way, this could take a toll on our skin, be it dry and dull skin from long flights, or unwanted pigmentation from extended time under the sun.
We’ve rounded up 3 simple tips on how to maintain healthy, glowing skin:
1. Know Your Travel Skincare Essentials!
No matter where you’re heading, never hop on board the plane without these 2 skincare essentials: moisturiser and sunblock. The dry air during a flight can leave your skin dehydrated, while being at a higher altitude can expose you to stronger and harsher UV rays, especially if you have a window seat!
If you can, don’t forget to bring an SPF lip balm as well to moisturise your lips while protecting them from unnecessary UV exposure.
2. Drink Lots Of Water
This advice may have been repeated countless times by countless publications, but it still rings true. What you put inside your body has significant impacts on what shows on your skin. Water is a significant building block for your skin cells – a lack of water will cause your skin to crack, just like how cookie dough is without any eggs.
For those trying to one-up their water-drinking habits, try drinking warm water with a fresh slice of lemon inside – it helps in detoxing your body!
3. Undo Damage with Laser Treatments & Chemical Peels
Already spent too much time out in the sun and regretting it? Non-invasive laser treatments, light therapy, and facial peels can help to reverse freckles, melasma, and other unwanted pigmentation from all that sun exposure. And the best part – most of these treatments are non-invasive, and have no downtime!
Nd:YAG laser treatments work by targeting the pigment in your skin, dispersing it. This causes unwanted pigmentation to fade gradually over treatment.
Chemical peels work by using chemicals to gently resurface the skin, and can reduce photo-aging from long-term sun damage, pigmentation, as well as mild to moderate wrinkles. Such peels can also be tailored in terms of intensity to suit your skin condition.
