Traveling Essentials: Sun Protection and Skin Care Tips for Your Next Trip
Traveling has changed in recent years, with new rules and regulations to consider. From TSA limitations on what you can bring on the plane to new items like face masks and test kits that have become travel staples, it’s important to be prepared. When packing for a trip, don’t forget about sun protection—it’s a key aspect of maintaining healthy skin, no matter where your travels take you.
Millions of people travel every year to sun-soaked destinations around the world, and many of them don’t realize the importance of proper skin care while on the go. The skin is the largest organ of your body, and a casual approach to sunscreen can put a damper on your vacation, potentially leading to skin allergies, sunburn, or even skin cancer. Fortunately, with a little planning, you can protect your skin and enjoy your trip worry-free.
Why Sunscreen Should Be a Travel Essential
The sun’s UV rays can be harmful, especially during outdoor activities at your destination. A recent surge in studies highlights the dangers of UV exposure, showing that more people are experiencing adverse skin conditions from prolonged sun exposure. Skin damage can be avoided with the right sun protection routine, so be sure to keep sunscreen on your list of must-have travel items.
