Holiday season is the peak
travel season. And hurried trips
by planes, trains and automobiles can take a toll on your skin. To help us look refreshed while we’re
on the road, sjal skincare co-founder and beauty expert Kristin Petrovich offers
Everything She Wants five helpful travel
beauty tips.

1. Before you
travel: Drink green tea to detoxify and water to
keep body hydrated. Lysine is a
great amino acid that increases white blood cells, boosting the
immune system. Apply a serum and oil/moisturizer to the skin such as
the sjal kura intuitif. Use a light makeup and eye cream like sjal's orbe
eye cream, which can also be applied around your mouth.
2. Different
Climates, Different Products: Depending on what kind of climate you
are traveling to, your skin will need a different regimen and products to
adapt. In cold weather, use an oil
(sjal's saphir concentrate); a heavy moisturizer like sjal's kura
intuitif can also reduce redness. In high altitude, apply a light
layer of sjal's serum 1 before the moisturizer. In hot weather, use a serum, light
moisturizer and sunscreen.
3. What to
Pack: A light moisturizer such as the sjal cela intuitif is a must.
Always pack sunscreen; SPF can even protect you from the light entering through
the window of a plane. Travel kits make life easier--try the sjal
wanderlust travel set (everything is TSA-approved). A sweater
and a light scarf are always nice to have on hand, or bring a larger shawl that
can double as a blanket. Sunglasses are a must, as well as ballet flats. And
don’t forget to bring a book, tablet or laptop to help pass time, melatonin to
avoid the affects of jet-lag, and a large bag that fits everything.
4. After
Traveling: Get some fresh air, take
a walk and exercise. A massage or
acupuncture treatment can help to restore your body, and helps with jet lag.
Use a mask such as the sjal kashmir saphir mask to rebalance
the skin. A monitored diet also helps to eliminate toxins. Fruits and vegetables work as an internal cleanser. Try to avoid dairy which can congest the
body and skin.
5. Avoid
Breakouts: The best way to avoid breakouts when traveling is to use a
serum like sjal's serum 1 and a water-based, lightweight
moisturizer. Get plenty of Vitamin C, keep your diet light and get
lots of sleep.
