Are you a modern man who loves to explore the world, jet-setting from one destination to another? And even though travelling is undoubtedly exciting, it can take a toll on your skin. Constant exposure to different climates, long flights, and irregular sleep patterns can leave your skin feeling dull, dehydrated, and irritated. But fret not, fellow travel junkies! With the right skincare routine, you can keep your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated no matter where your adventures take you.
Here are 4 essential skincare tips tailored specifically for men who love to travel:
1. Hydration is Key
One of the biggest challenges your skin faces while traveling is dehydration. Airplane cabins, in particular, have low humidity levels that can sap moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and flaky. To combat this, make sure to stay hydrated by not just drinking plenty of water throughout your journey, but also adding a quality moisturizer into your skincare. Look for lightweight, non-greasy formulas that will provide long-lasting hydration without clogging your pores, like the CODE Hydrating Face Moisturiser by Wild Stone CODE, which will help maintain skin’s natural barrier function.
Pro Tip: Before moisturising, give your face a quick wash with CODE Hydrating Face Cleanser, and add extra vigour to your skin.
2. Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable
Whether you're lounging on a tropical beach or exploring a bustling city, sunscreen should always be a non-negotiable item in your travel bag. Not shielding your skin and exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays not only increases the risk of skin cancer but also accelerates the aging process, leading to wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and apply it liberally to all exposed areas of your skin, including your face, neck, and ears. Don't forget to reapply every few hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating profusely.
3. Simplify Your Skincare Routine
When you're on the go, simplicity is key. Instead of lugging around a suitcase full of skincare products, streamline your routine by focusing on the essentials. A gentle cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and perhaps a multitasking product like a CODE Sunscreen body lotion with SPF are all you need to keep your skin happy, hydrated and healthy while traveling. Look for travel-sized versions of your skincare products to keep things light and handy. Also, if you have a beard and want to maintain it well during your travels, you can add beard grooming products like beard oil and beard wash into your travel bag.
Pro Tip: To tackle bad body odour during your travel adventures, adding body perfume for men is a great idea. The CODE Body Perfume Travel Pack has 4 body perfumes of 40ml each, and is the perfect travel buddy as it can easily fit into your rucksack!
4. Invest in Skincare Products Designed for Men
Gone are the days when skincare was solely reserved for women. Modern men are embracing self-care and grooming like never before, and the beauty industry has taken notice. There's now a plethora of skincare products specifically formulated to meet the unique needs of men's skin, from cleansers and moisturizers to serums and masks. Look for products labeled as "skincare for men" or "men's grooming" and choose according to your skin type and concerns. For example, if you have oily skin, opt for a mattifying moisturizer or a gel-based cleanser to control excess oil production. The skin care products for men by Wild Stone CODE are a great choice as they are formulated with premium quality ingredients, keeping in mind the skin of Indian Men.
So, now you know that taking care of your skin while traveling doesn't have to be complicated. By following these simple yet effective skincare tips, you can ensure that your skin stays healthy, hydrated, and radiant wherever your adventures take you. So pack your bags, hit the road, and don't forget to pamper and shield your skin along the way. Bon Voyage!
