Travelling can be exhilarating but also take a toll on your skin. Climate changes, long flights, pesky air conditioning, and a disrupted routine can lead to dryness, breakouts, and irritation. However, with a well-thought-out skincare regimen and a few key products, you can ensure your skin stays healthy and hydrated throughout your journey.
Let's delve into the essential skincare products and tips for maintaining your routine on the go, focusing on the power of Red Algae in travel skincare.
The Impact of Travel on Your Skin
When you travel, especially by air, your skin is exposed to a variety of stressors:
- Low humidity in aeroplanes can lead to dehydration
- Changes in climate can cause your skin to react unpredictably
- Disruption of your regular skincare routine can exacerbate skin issues
- Increased exposure to UV rays, especially at high altitudes
Environmental Factors: Extreme Cooling & Heating
- Air conditioning can make your skin age prematurely. Your skin begins shrivelling as it loses moisture, reducing its elastic properties.
- Central heating dries the air, causing the skin to lose moisture. This can lead to dry, red, flaky, and irritated skin, prone to eczema or psoriasis.
These mechanical and environmental effects cause your skin to lose moisture rapidly, which is why your skin can feel tight and dry when travelling for long periods.
Essential Skincare Products for Travel
- Hydrating Cleanser
- Choose a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
- Look for ingredients like glycerine or hyaluronic acid.
- Facial Mist
- A facial mist can provide a quick hydration boost, especially during flights.
- Opt for one with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or rose water.
- Hydrating Serum
- A lightweight serum with hyaluronic acid can help maintain moisture levels in your skin, keeping it plump and hydrated.
- Moisturiser
- Bring a travel-sized version of your favourite moisturiser.
- If you're heading to a colder climate, choose a richer formula to protect your skin from dryness.
- Sunscreen
- Sunscreen is essential, no matter your destination.
- A broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher will protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Did you know that UV exposure is highest in aeroplanes, even though you're inside?
- Sheet Masks
- Sheet masks are convenient and provide an intensive hydration boost.
- Look for masks containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
- Red Algae Gel
- The Seacra Red Algae Gel is intensely hydrating, soothing, and rich in antioxidants.
- It can help boost the protection of your SPF while nourishing the skin with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

Tips for Maintaining Your Skincare Routine While Travelling
- Stick to Basics: Travel is not the time to experiment with new products. Stick to your trusted essentials to avoid unexpected reactions.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
