Summer Skincare: Top Tips for Travelling

Summer Skincare: Top Tips for Travelling with the Aztec Spa in Torquay

When we think about summer holidays and caring for our skin, we’re all aware of the need to protect our skin from the sun, but what we often forget are the stressful effects of warm weather, dehydrating plane travel and daily build-up of grime in this season.

It’s not just about what we need to pack to take on holiday with us. It’s also important to prepare our skin before we go away. Even if you’re not planning on a holiday, it’s important to adjust your skincare during the summer. Whether you are travelling aboard or staying at home and enjoying the sunshine, take a look at some of our top tips for skincare this summer!

When packing

To save some space, choose multitasking products like the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, which can act as a deep cleanser, soothing after sun mask and emergency repair balm.

When selecting a moisturiser, ELEMIS would always recommend a product that can target the many different stresses the skin will experience, from change in climate to exposure to salt water and chlorine.  ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix is the perfect choice. With Smart Drone Technology, this product targets areas of the face where stress shows most. It’s like having your own personal therapist on holiday with you; knowing what your skin needs and then prescribing the correct night treatment for you. The formula works throughout the night to help restore the natural balance to the skin, sealing in hydration. A youthful, less tired looking appearance is revealed by the morning, so when you want to go make up free your skin will look the best it possibly can.

For Summer Days

During the day, protect your skin against the damaging effects of UVA & UVB rays with one of our best-selling moisturisers that contain SPF30. Choose from Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30, a clinically proven formulation that blends a powerful combination of ingredients, including Padina Pavonica and Ginkgo Biloba, to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

In Flight

Travelling by plane can severely dehydrate your skin and make you look tired. ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Hydra Gel Eye Masks are a simple yet effective tool to take with you on a flight. Pop them on 20 minutes before you land and you will see the benefits straight away. These clinically proven hydra-gel eye masks are formulated to instantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The eye masks smooth, tighten and hydrate tired looking skin under the eyes and is  easy to squeeze in hand luggage!

Summer Nights

Finally, if the heat is disturbing your sleep and leaving you with a restless look in the morning, one product that works around the clock is the Peptide4 Night Recovery Cream Oil.

This skin synchronizing night treatment combines the hydration of a moisturising cream with the protection of an oil to help boost repair and renewal at night. If you’re dealing with super-hot holidays, long haul destinations and continuous travel through summer, try this one for skin that feels re balanced and appears resorted and replenished by morning.
