5 Self-Care and Grooming Tips When Travelling Abroad

Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about 5 Self-Care and Grooming Tips When Travelling Abroad.

Being on holiday is great. New sights, new sounds, new flavours – but especially when being abroad for a longer period, it’s important not to neglect your health and wellness or your self-care and grooming routine. No matter if you’re aiming to keep feeling confident, beautiful, or simply stress-free, these five tips will help you maintain your beauty regimen and feel your best while travelling.

5 Self-Care and Grooming Tips When Travelling Abroad.

1.   Pack Light, Pack Right!

We are putting this first because it’s quite tempting to simply throw everything you usually use in your luggage – but when it comes to travelling, less is so much often more.

Try to go for multi-functional products that save both space and weight in your luggage – like a clever hair-removal product that will keep your skin smooth throughout your holiday, without having to bring bulky razors or wax equipment.

And instead of packing full-sized bottles and containers, transfer your favourite and needed products into travel-sized and reusable containers. Or, even better, use solid toiletries like shampoo bars or solid perfume! That way, you are minimising your liquid restrictions and reducing packaging waste at the same time on top.

2. Hydration is Key.

Travelling can and will take a toll on your skin, leaving it dry and hydrated. The best way to combat the effects of changing climates and long flights is by staying hydrated – both inside and out.

Packing a moisturiser to keep your skin soft and supple should always be a must-have in your bag. And, of course, drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, consider investing in a hydrating facial mist to refresh and rejuvenate on the go. A quick spritz before landing or after a day of sightseeing will leave you surprisingly revitalised!

3. Sun Protection. Always.

It doesn’t matter where you are – soaking up the sun on a tropical beach, exploring ancient ruins, conquering a city – sun protection is simply a non-negotiable part of your travel routine.

Make sure you have a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays (and remember to reapply regularly, especially after swimming or sweating!), but also have a look at facial creams or hydrating lip balms with SPF. Your future self will thank you.

4.   Embrace Minimalism!.

As we mentioned at the very beginning, it is very tempting to bring your entire beauty arsenal on vacation, but practising minimalism can simplify your routine and save precious time and space.

Focus only on the essentials: a versatile tinted moisturiser for lightweight coverage, a dual-purpose cheek and lip tint for a natural flush of colour, and a travel-sized dry shampoo to refresh your hair between washes might just be all you need. This approach not only streamlines your routine but also allows for more time for your actual travel.

5.   Self-Care – Anywhere, Anytime.

That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t or shouldn’t take time to pamper yourself. After all, you are on holiday and self-care simply knows no bounds.

Relaxing bubble baths, a soothing face mask, or a leisurely stroll through a local park should still be on the schedule. Whatever it is that makes you relax, helps you practice mindfulness and gratitude, and recharge your batteries
