Tips For The Best Festival Skin

Headed to a festival this season? These are a few essentials to make sure you pack before you hit the road.

Festival Skincare

Whether your headed to the desert or an urban City setting these products still need to be in your lineup!

  • De-Gunk Your Face: The Charcoal Clay Cleanser from Skin Script is a perfect purifying cleanser to remove impurities from the skin. When your out in the sun your skin will build up with sweat, debris, & depending on your makeup glam, all that gunk will get baked into the pores. After each day this cleanser will help control excess oil, remove toxins, prevent breakouts, all while refreshing your skin! 
  • Poreless Perfect: The Mint Refining Toner from Skin Script will tighten pores for a smooth photo worthy complexion. In addition, it helps clear pores & work as a natural astringent without drying the skin, as well has leaving the firm & plump. 
  • Antioxidant Power: Apply the Vitamin C/Green Tea Serum to ensure protection from free radical damage. The skin will be drenched with antioxidants to ensure healthy & brightened skin, all free of sun damage & wrinkles. Youthful skin is encouraged & green tea helps prevent the production of bacteria on the skin. 
  • Protect From The Rays: After all other skin products finish off your face & neck with Image Skincare's Prevention + SPF 30+. Being out in the sun all day long can have a harsh effect on the skin, so make sure you are protected against UVA/UVB rays from the sun. I personally love the tinted version of the SPF to give your skin an added dewy glow. Look as if your skin was kissed by the sun without the damaging effects!

Skin Science Sunday: How to save your skin from airline travel

How to Save your Skin from Airline Travel

Everyone knows how drying it can be while being onboard a flight. With the change in air and humidity in the cabin,  your skin can become drastically affected even after just a few hours! Here are my top tips to ensure the health of your skin.

During:

  1. Make sure to apply a hydrating serum & moisturizer before your flight. Your best bet is to make sure hyaluronic acid is one of the ingredients in either the serum or moisturizer, if not both. This will be a "drink of water" for your skin in a sense. 
  2. Apply sunscreen. Wearing an SPF on flight is essential, UV Rays can be quite strong  through the window of your aisle. Your best bet if you're ultra sensitive is to actually get a window seat, this means you can control how much light is going to be peaking through & you have the option of closing the shade completely. On quite long flights when the sun shines for most of the duration, you could potentially acquire a sunburn. 
  3. Drink plenty of water. To avoid even more dehydration, make sure you are staying hydrated & avoid drinks like coffee & alcohol while onboard. This can dry out your skin further & essentially make you feel more sluggish on arrival. 

After:

  1. Exfoliate your skin. A gentle exfoliation will help rid of any surface dryness, & will help for better product penetration that follows.
  2. Use a hydrating face mask. Following your exfoliation, apply a mask that will help add moisture back into your skin. This will rebalance your skin & add back it's loss in hydration. 
  3. Keep drinking water. This will help assist in getting you that healthy glowing skin & ultimatley feeling better inside & out!

Fun Fact: Hydrating mists can actually do more harm than good. After misting your skin in flight, the air is so dry that it will essentially steal that bit of water from your skin & cause your skin to have more moisture pulled out than if you had skipped misting your face.
