Travel Hacks To Always Look Fabulous

Traveling can make your skin oily or dry, it can cause breakouts and blemishes, and it can even be harsh on your hair. Between short stays at hotels, long car or plane rides, little time to attend to your regular beauty routine, and the oh so awful chance that you forgot your products, it only makes sense that travel can cause fatigue all around.

But worry not my fellow readers, for I am about to provide you with the list of travel hacks that you’ve been searching for. By following these tips and tricks you’ll not only be looking fabulous, but you might be adding a few to your everyday hustle.

1. Before travel

Before you head off on your next work trip, or hopefully vacation in the sunshine, make sure you have covered all the bases of products you’ll need. Try to avoid buying travel shampoo & conditioner, and instead fill travel bottles with your regular salon product... this goes for face wash and lotion too. If you’re going to be in different climate, or find yourself swimming in the ocean, make sure to pack a hair mask that will keep those shiny strands moisturized. Also, if you can, leave the hair dryer and straightener at home and give your hair a heat break. Trust me, it will thank you.

2. During travel

This part of your adventure can be the most damaging on your skin and hair, so make sure you come prepared. Between change in elevation and temperatures, to different air qualities, there are multiple factors that can play into making you look and feel fatigued. So, to avoid this, pack items such as a jade roller to decrease the bloating in your face, an eye mask and cream to help with under eye circles (also blocks out the light of the annoying person with their window shade up), hand lotion to avoid cracks, and a reusable water bottle. I cannot stress this enough... drink water constantly, even when you’re not thirsty. This will help flush out all the toxins that add up in your body, and it’s good for keeping skin clear.

3. After travel

Just because you have arrived at your destination, does not mean your travel beauty routine is not over my friend. Luckily, your work is done and Mobile Styles can take over from here. Mobile Styles is the leading on-demand health, beauty, and wellness app, and gives you the option to have a professional of your choice come to you and provide the services you need. I would highly recommend after a day (or week) of travel, that you use Mobile Styles to get a facial, manicure, and hair treatments. This way you have a professional making sure you are good to go and the harsh ups and downs of travel will no longer be in your way! Plus, this way you don’t have to deal with trying to find a reliable salon... we all know how that goes.

Oh, and if you’re really looking for a travel hack item, get yourself a silk pillowcase. The damage that pillowcases can do to hair is pretty gnarly, but the silk pillowcase reduces breakage and keeps you cool throughout the night.
