What is "Skin Jet Lag"?
During long trips, especially by plane, it's common for the skin to suffer from what we call... "Skin Jet Lag"This term refers to the adverse effects that the skin faces due to factors such as Low cabin humidity, dehydration, jet lag, and travel stress. These factors can result in Dryness or excessive oiliness, dullness, irritation, and swelling of the skin.
To minimize these impacts, it is recommended to:
- Constant hydration: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after the flight.
- Use of moisturizers: Apply creams rich in emollients to maintain the skin barrier.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Essas substâncias podem contribuir para a desidratação.
- Protect your skin: Use products with antioxidants to combat oxidative stress caused by travel.
Adopting these measures can help maintain the health and appearance of your skin even after long trips.
Quais os cuidados com a pele antes da viagem?
Preparing your skin before traveling is essential to avoid damage caused by climate changes and daily routines. Here are some tips:
- Deep hydration: Invest in a potent moisturizer to prepare your skin against dryness. If you're going to a cold destination, choose products based on ceramides or hyaluronic acid.
- Sunscreen: Start using a sunscreen with high UVA and UVB protection a few days before your trip to create a barrier on your skin.
- Evite tratamentos agressivos: Procedures such as peels or laser treatments should be performed at least 15 days before traveling to avoid skin sensitization.
- Organize your skincare routine: Put together a compact toiletry bag with essential products in smaller sizes.

How to care for your skin during long flights?

- Drink water: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
- Avoid alcohol: Alcoholic beverages can worsen skin dryness.
- Apply thermal water: Spray thermal water on your face to keep your skin fresh and hydrated.

What skincare precautions should be taken in hot destinations?
If you're heading out for summer, the main focus is protection against sun damage.
- Reapply sunscreen: Apply sunscreen every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
- Hydrate yourself internally and externally: Use lightweight moisturizers and drink plenty of water.
- Wear hats and sunglasses. They help protect the skin of the face and eyes from radiation.
- Avoid excessive exposure: Choose times with less sunlight, before 10 am and after 16 pm.
Como cuidar da pele em destinos frios?
Winter destinations require attention to dryness caused by the dry climate and heating.
- Richer moisturizers: Opt for creams with denser textures, rich in oils or butters, to form a protective barrier.
- Protection against UV rays: Even in cold climates, use sunscreen, especially in snowy areas, which reflect sunlight.
- Protected lips: Use a lip balm with SPF to prevent chapping.
- Avoid very hot showers: They remove the skin's natural barrier, intensifying dryness.
How to maintain your skincare routine while traveling?
It's possible to keep your skin healthy even when you're away from home:
- Simplify the steps: Limpeza, hidratação e proteção solar são os pilares.
- Lightweight multifunctional products: Reduce baggage weight without sacrificing safety.
- Avoid sleeping with makeup on: Always remove makeup completely to avoid clogging pores.
What should I do to take care of my skin after traveling?
The post-trip period is the time to restore the skin and minimize potential damage.
- Intensive hydration: After extreme weather, skin may need a hydration boost.
- Soothing treatments: Soothing masks or serums with ingredients like aloe vera help to restore the skin.
- Light exfoliation: For hot destinations, remove excess dead skin cells; in cold climates, opt for gentle exfoliants to avoid irritation.
- Dermatological consultation: If your skin shows signs of sensitivity, spots, or excessive dryness, schedule an appointment for evaluation and possible treatments.
