A Dermatologist Shares A Post-Travel Skincare Routine You Need to Try

Post-Travel Skincare Routine

Freshen Up With a Mist

“It can help to boost moisture in the skin using a thermal spring water mist, hydrating serum or sheet mask and a moisturizing cream,” says Dr. Garshick. Key ingredients to look for include hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which help bind moisture to the skin and counteract water loss. 

Dr. Garshick applies the La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water “immediately post-flight” to give her skin a boost of hydration. This sensitive skin-friendly mist is packed with selenium, a soothing antioxidant, and has a cooling feel that instantly calms jet-lagged skin. 

Moisturize With a Mask

Depuff With an Eye Cream or Face Massager

To combat puffy eyes, look for a serum or cream that contains caffeine. Our editors love the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Caffeine Eye Serum. The product is lightweight, hydrating and features a metal rollerball applicator you can use to gently massage your under-eye area. “Using a cool compress or a face roller can also help to reduce puffiness,” adds Dr. Garshick. Try the Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool, a classic and compact pick that won’t take up too much room in your toiletry case.
