Jet-Set, Not Stressed: Skincare Tips for Travel
Travel can nourish the soul—but it doesn’t always do the same for your skin. Whether you're hopping on a plane, heading out on a road trip, or just packing for a weekend away, shifts in climate, stress, and disrupted routines can leave your skin feeling out of sync. But don’t worry—we’ve got you.
At FLORL, we believe skincare should travel with you—grounded in rituals, rooted in nature, and always crafted with intention. Here are our favorite ways to care for your skin on the go, so you can feel grounded no matter where you land.
1. Simplify with purpose.
When traveling, less is more—but that doesn’t mean skipping your routine. Opt for multi-tasking products like:
A gentle cleanser that doubles as a makeup remover
A hydrating mist made from calming hydrosols like rose or cucumber
A nourishing face oil or balm that works for both day and night
✨ Pro Tip: Keep your routine focused on hydration and barrier support. Your skin is working hard—give it ingredients that soothe, not stress.
2. Stay hydrated, inside & out.
Airplane cabins, trains, even the recirculated air on a road-trip combined with travel stress can zap your skin’s moisture fast. Combat dryness with:
A water-based hydrosol mist (hello, rosewater!) to refresh throughout the day
Drinking plenty of water—infuse with lemon, cucumber, or mint for added benefits
Using an overnight balm or facial oil to lock in hydration while you sleep
✨ Carry-on MVP: A travel-sized facial mist is your best friend mid-flight.
3. Cleanse with intention.
After long travel days, cleansing becomes a grounding ritual. Use a gentle cleanser and take your time:
Massage the product into your skin with slow, circular motions
Follow up with a soft cotton cloth or warm water rinse
Mist with hydrosol before applying your moisturizer or oil
✨ Bonus: Bring a small amount of your favorite exfoliant for a mini spa moment during your trip.
4. Protect your barrier
New environments, pollution, and temperature changes can challenge your skin’s natural defenses. Protect your barrier by:
Avoiding harsh exfoliants or strong actives while traveling
Sealing in moisture with a rich balm, oil, or body butter
Applying a nourishing lip balm and hand cream regularly
✨ Remember: You don’t have to do it all—just do what feels good for your skin.
5. Make it special, wherever you are!
Skincare is self-care. Even on the go, take a few moments to:
Breathe in your favorite essential oil blend
Give yourself a quick facial massage
Wrap up your routine with a calming tea, a journal entry, or a few minutes of stillness
✨ Because taking care of your skin is one more way to take care of you.
Your skincare doesn’t have to go out the window just because your suitcase is full. With a few key products and mindful rituals, you can stay grounded, hydrated, and glowing—wherever the journey takes you.
