Here are some quick and simple tips for skincare while on vacation.

3. Use only the best makeup products
Do you shudder at the thought of stepping out without makeup? In that case, make sure you bring along water-resistant eyeliners, mascara, and bronzers. And do not compromise on the quality of the products, your skin and deserves the best.
4. Use a hat when out
Is there a hat sleeping in some corner of your closet? Now is a good time to make some use of it. A hat is essential when you are on vacation. It doesn’t just give protection to your hair but also covers your face and neck from the sun’s rays. The wider the hat, the bigger the protection it offers.

7. Sleep well

8. Take frequent water breaks
Hydration is the most important need for your body. Wherever you go, carry a bottle of water along. Drink lots of water when you travel to avoid dehydration. This is all the more important especially when you travel to places of high temperatures.
9. Avoid heavy makeup
Sticking to little or no makeup when you travel is necessary. Heavy makeup can block skin pores and prevent them from breathing. Add the problem with grime and dust and you give yourself fresh acne and pimples when you come back home after your vacation.
