11 Simple Travel Beauty Hacks To Keep Your Skin Healthy On The Go

Maintaining healthy skin on the go isn't easy, but Olay is here to keep your skin looking flawless whenever, wherever.

1. Throw some facial cleansing wipes — like Olay Daily Facials — in your carry-on to remove your makeup before your flight.

You wouldn't go to sleep without washing your face, so don't take a nap on the plane with a full face of makeup either.

2. Exfoliate and use a night cream the evening before you travel to prepare your skin in advance.

This way, your face will feel extra hydrated and ready for anything.

3. After taking off your makeup, apply a lightweight moisturizer with SPF.

Because you're at a higher altitude, the UV rays that penetrate the plane's windows are stronger than at ground level.

4. Bring your own reusable water bottle, and fill it up before you board to stay hydrated.

This way you won't be at the mercy of flight attendants. And avoid alcohol, which can dehydrate your skin further.

5. Pack a silk pillowcase for the hotel.

Cotton pillowcases absorb oil, which can dry out your skin. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase, on the other hand, can help keep your skin hydrated and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

6. Pack travel-size versions of your favorite products — like Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 — to make going through security easy.

Your skin won't miss heavy makeup for a few days, but moisturizer and SPF are nonnegotiable.

7. For shorter trips, store your foundation and cream-based makeup in a contacts case.

Since makeup doesn't have as many active ingredients as skin-care products, it doesn't need to be stored in its original container.

8. Keep your hands clean on the go with a travel-size hand sanitizer.

Having clean hands means you'll be less likely to transfer acne-causing bacteria to your face.

9. Give your eyes a little extra love with a cooling eye treatment like Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel after a flight.

The stress of traveling, especially if you're crossing time zones, can cause puffy, tired eyes, so focusing on this area is super important.

10. If your skin is sensitive to greasy or salty food, pack a healthy snack to take with you on the flight.

You never know what kind of options you'll have at the airport or on the road, so prepping ahead can save your skin.

11. Keep your hair off your face with a headband or loose ponytail.

Your hair can transfer breakout-causing grease to your skin, so keep it back and out of the way.
