Skincare Protocols | June 14, 2021

Summer travels can be taxing to the skin—through airport security and dry cabin air, only to land in a hot and humid environment. Skincare may not be your top priority when you’re on vacation, but your skin’s health never takes a break.

Keeping up your regular routine when you’re on the go doesn’t have to include an extensive regimen; you can keep your skin healthy with a simplified version of your routine that hits all of these essentials: skin prepping, antioxidant protection and sunscreen.

The Daily Skincare Program from ZO® Skin Health is the ultimate travel kit that is suitable for all skin types. It provides with FOUR skincare fundamental products:

• Exfoliating Cleanser – A refreshing, gel cleanser with eco-friendly jojoba beads to wash away impurities without leaving the skin feeling stripped or dry.
• Exfoliating Polish – Ultra-fine magnesium-oxide crystals gently exfoliate away dry, dead skin cells to reveal a glowing complexion.
• Complexion Renewal Pads – Remove excess surface oil and debris to clear clogged pores and renew + tone the skin.
• Daily Power Defense – A powerful antioxidant serum that protects against free radical damage and promotes overall skin health.

After using this routine daily to maintain healthy skin, don’t forget the most important step during your vacation: sunscreen. With so many formulations on the market, it’s best to choose the sunscreen that will fit your travel best. If you’re going to be spending a lot of time in the water, opt for a water-resistant sunscreen. If you’re traveling to a glamourous or cosmopolitan locale and want a full face of makeup daily, a dual-action sunscreen like Sunscreen + Primer gives you UV protection while helping your makeup last all day. And if you’re trying to save space in your suitcase, Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen is a great option for both face and body.

You’ll be glad you maintained your skincare routine when you return with the same glow you left with before. But if you find that you weren’t as disciplined as you thought you would be, you can still rejuvenate your complexion with in-office solutions. A patient-favorite to immediately hydrate + brighten the skin after fun in the sun is HydraFacial™, which uses patented technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate with nourishing ingredients. You can also add -on a ZO® Skin Health HydraFacial™ Brightalive® booster to amplify your glow and improve discoloration, or Rozatrol® booster to soothe sensitive, red skin. With no down-time, you’ll see an immediate improvement in travel-worn skin to get you back on-track to skin health.
