I am more devoted with regards to taking care of my skin and keeping it
healthy while I’m traveling. Maybe because I am fond of maximizing the use of available
resources found in my hotel room and the likes that even my friends and travel
buddies knows that I love doing my skincare routine most especially when I’m
travelling. Why I am doing this despite of being not in the city? Simply
because I don’t want that nagbakasyon-ka-kind-of-look
when I’m back at work or whenever random acquaintances and friends see me. I
just explaining things over and over again for random people, I guess and of course,
to empowers other that it is okay to play under the sun, go out and explore the
world, be brave of doing something for the first time and yet, not compromising
the health of your skin. But sometimes getting excited or unplanned vacation have
the tendency that you might forget the stuff that you should be bringing. What
I usually do is that I do have a list of what to bring and to save time and
effort, I have the non-negotiable things that I must be bringing whatever and
whenever my travel is. My dear, without further ado, kindly read on my DIY and
easy tips to keep my skin healthy even though I am miles away from home. Shall
we?

Sunscreen / Sunblock
The number 1 on my what-to-bring list and it is non-negotiable. Protecting
my skin under the sun and harmful UV rays is a must for me even if I just go to
work or being out with friends. You may choose body lotion or moisturizer that
contains SPF so that you get protected anytime without putting too much product
on your skin and SPF15 will suffice. By doing so, your older self will be
thankful to your younger self.
Tea Bath
If you’re not a tea-fan then that complimentary Earl Grey tea at your
hotel room has use now. At the end of the day, after all the walks, tours and
everything-in-between, I love to have a calming and relaxing tea bath. Since most
of the hotels now has bath tub, then might as well, maximize it. I usually
enjoy 30-min to an hour (if I fall asleep during the process) soaking my body
on that beneficial tea bath.
Earl Grey’s sunburn-soothing powers come from the oil in its bergamot
leaves. This kind of oil is found in Earl Grey team which indeed can soothe
sunburn.
Green Tea, on the other hand, is widely known that contains antioxidants
such as ECGC (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) that can reduce free radical damage
caused by UV radiation in skin cells.
While Chamomile Tea, my favorite above all, is a wonderful, soothing
healer that would give you a spa-like, bath-time treat. And I just love how
pleasing its smell and how it calms my tired body.
So
yeah, soak some tea bags on your bath and enjoy its numerous benefits.
Skin-care Products
Of course, your ally for a beautiful skin and keeping it healthy are also from
the skin-care products that you’ve been using. I always bring a facial mask
whenever I travel, and it is best paired when I’m soaking my body under the tea
bath. I am currently obsessed with Novelina
Coenzyme Q10 Facial Mask because
1) it is an anti-aging mask that enhanced with Coenzyme Q10 that brings back
the youthful glow 2) it is comfortably fit on my face and easy to use and 3) it
is non-greasy and the after effect is visible. You got that glowing and soft
skin after use. Plus, it is safe and can easily bought in the leading drugstores
and even online.

| Novelina Facial Wash and Coenzyme Q10 Facial Mask with Lumispa |
Another one that I like from Novelina
skincare line is the Facial Wash that has deep pore cleaner and skin brightener
anti-acne + snail serum and pollution shield. My face and neck were not in a
good condition due to work related stress, pimples are everywhere and lots of
cystic acnes along my jaw line. Well, using this facial wash for 3 days straight,
night and day, clears my acne and brighten the acne scars. These two Novelina
skin care products are my allies nowadays especially in the humid weather that
Manila has. By the way, I also noticed that I am less-oily, so it seems like I
am heading to a fair and normal skin. Yay!
Massage
One of the things I fancy for self care is massage because I get the instant benefits of it - a feeling of relaxation and calm... and at peace with my body. It was like the rhythm of my body's in-sync again. Other benefits such as reduced muscle tension, improved blood circulation, reduction of stress hormones, increased joint mobility and flexibility, it also improves skin tone. And yes, it is recommended to have a massage therapy once a week or twice for having a very active lifestyle and hectic schedule. Oh boy, it's therapeutic!
Drink Water
Keep your body hydrated, always. Water is super beneficial to our body and
of course, skin. So yeah, don’t ever forget to bring a bottle of water anywhere
you go.
There you go, I hope these tips could help you also in keeping and
maintaining your skin fair and healthy. These are just basic and easy tips and
affordable, too! You’re welcome! See you on the road!
