Gorgeous Skin On The Go

December is probably one of the best months of the year – you manage to get some much needed down time, celebrate all the festivities with family and if you’re very lucky…you get to go away!

As we know many of you will be travelling this month, we thought this weeks Tip Tuesday should be about travel. Here is a guide to gorgeous skin and making the most of your ‘me time’.

1. Before you fly, remember to pack your oils and balms because your skin is exposed to constant air conditioning whilst flying. A very clean face and some good moisturiser will prevent your skin from getting dehydrated. Also remember that as much as we all love that glass of champagne, it does your skin no favours.

2. Taking a vacation is an amazing opportunity for beauty treatments as you finally can really take the time out to apply all of your favourite treatments and relax while they get to work.

3. We recommend taking face masks, self-tan, body scrubs and luxurious body butters with you. (Just make sure that they are small enough to take on the plane as there are often liquid restrictions on international flights when it comes to hand luggage).

4. Whilst I am away, I always buy local honey. Not only is it great in your morning tea, it also works really well if you get bitten or have allergies. You can also use it as a soothing mask on your skin after too much sun exposure (just add a little aloe vera gel) Stir the aloe and honey together and apply over your face. Leave it on for about 15 minutes. Aloe soothes inflammation and calms your skin, perfect for those with sensitive skin.

5. When it comes to self-tan we recommend wash off products- they are great as they tend to be blunder proof and there’s no commitment. They are a great way of easing yourself into tanning and perfect to give you a goddess glow before you hit that beach. If you want an subtle look you can just mix some into your usual body butter.

6. To prevent compacts from breaking in your bag, put a cotton ball or cotton pad inside the lid.

7. Finally, switch to a new fresh scent for the summer and that way when you catch that aroma afterwards it will automatically transport you back to happy holiday times.

Until next time and bon voyage to our travelling Goddesses! xxx
