1 . Know your skin sensitivities
Only you know what types of products irritate your skin and scalp. Think about the sensitive-skin products you rely on daily, the ones formulated without common chemical irritants, and pack travel sizes of those exact items.
- Fragrance-free hair care: Shampoo and Conditioner
- Eczema-prone skin: Moisturizing Cream or Enhanced Moisturizer
2. Bring a regimen already sized for carry-on
Vanicream's entire facial routine meets TSA carry-on liquid limits, so you don't have to check a bag or hunt for substitutes:
- Cleanse with Gentle Facial Cleanser
- Enhance with Vitamin C Serum
- Moisturize with Daily Facial Moisturizer
- Protect with Facial Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Each product is fragrance-free and designed for sensitive skin, so your full facial regimen travels exactly as it works at home.
4. Apply a skin moisturizer before, during and after your flight
Skin may become dry with prolonged exposure to the filtered air system on the plane. Changes in climate can also dry out pores. Don’t forget to bring along a sensitive skin-friendly lotion for your face and body.
5. Bring your own soap
Soap is not an item most people think to bring of when packing for vacation. But, if you have sensitive skin, the fragranced bar soap in the hotel bathroom could bring an unexpected twist to your vacation. Reduce the risk and substitute with a fragrance-free cleansing bar that’s also formulated with skin cream to keep hands moisturized.
6. Plan for sun exposure beyond your face
Although your face is already protected with a SPF 30 facial moisturizer, outdoor vacation days mean the rest of your body needs coverage too. Use a broad-spectrum, mineral-based sunscreen on exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or after swimming.
