When travelling, I start with the best of intentions for my skincare regimen. I pack a sheet mask for each night of my trip, imagining a fantasy hour between sightseeing and dinner when I am able to luxuriate in a hot bath, my face soaked in hyaluronic acid (for hydration) and niacinamide (to brighten), instead of the more realistic 10 minutes I will probably have, wherein I will spend at least eight searching for the tube of lipstick I am sure I packed while fielding questions from children about where, exactly, we are going to eat, and will there be chicken nuggets on the menu?
When travelling, you don’t always have time for your standard weekly skin treatments such as an LED mask. iStock
