For many of us, the sun-kissed days of summer mean embracing the spirit of wanderlust and embarking on travel adventures. But traveling can expose our skin to changing climates, long flights and environmental stressors, which can leave our complexions looking dull and fatigued. Fear not, though – the right plant-based skin care can help keep your skin bright, hydrated and healthy-looking throughout your summer escapades. Here are our top three tips for caring for your skin while traveling.

Harness the Magic of Face Oil

Face oils are a traveler's secret weapon for hydrated, nourished, and radiant skin. Before you set out on your journey, toss a plant-based face oil in your carry-on. Look for one that’s lightweight, non-greasy, and packed with nourishing heavy-hitters like jojoba and moringa. Kind Science Radiance Oil checks all the boxes. We love that this weightless blend of botanical oils delivers deep hydration while supporting your skin's natural barrier against harsh summer elements. Apply a few drops in the morning, at night, or before takeoff for brightening pick-me-up. A bonus: it’s also great for cuticles and other dryness-prone areas.

Banish Fatigue with Eye Cream

Long flights, late-night adventures, and lack of sleep can result in tired, puffy eyes. To combat these travel-induced woes, don't forget to incorporate an eye cream into your skin care routine. Look for an eye cream enriched with soothing botanicals and brightening vitamin C. Kind Science Eye Cream is formulated with kakadu plum, which contains the highest vitamin C concentration of any plant. This lightweight cream melts into the delicate skin around your eyes to instantly brighten and refresh. Apply it morning and night to keep your eyes looking youthful and well-rested – no matter how many time zones you cross.

Rejuvenate with a Dual-Action Exfoliator

Exposure to pollution, sweat and harsh climates while traveling can mean dull, rough, tired-looking skin. Try using an non-irritating exfoliator, like Micro Exfoliant+, once or twice a week to help unveil your skin’s radiance and refine the look of texture. Plant-based exfoliants like bamboo silk can slough away dead skin cells while fruit acids help loosen dulling debris. Regular exfoliating sessions will help keep your skin vibrant and ready for every adventure that comes your way.

Summer travels are even better when accompanied by a bright and healthy-looking complexion, and with the right skin care routine, that ageless glow is within reach. So, go ahead – explore the world with confidence, and let your radiant skin tell the story of your unforgettable summer journey.

Stay Hydrated While on the Go

Adequate hydration is a must when traveling, especially in the summer months. Whether in the air or on the ground, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water to help keep your skin moisturized, plump and dewy. For topical hydration, use a plant-based moisturizer that’s clinically shown to keep skin hydrated. Kind Science’s best-selling Hydration Cream is a summer favorite. Great for sensitive skin, it’s clinically effective at delivering immediate hydration that lasts all day long, and the weightless texture instantly refreshes dry, travel-stressed skin without feeling heavy. The hero ingredient is snow mushroom, a sponge-like plant that can hold up to 1000% of its weight in water. Massage Hydration Cream onto your face and neck just once in the morning for bouncy, replenished skin and non-stop hydration during a busy day of traveling. Apply it again before bed, and wake up to smooth, hydrated skin.

Sun-drenched vacations are even better when accompanied by a bright and healthy-looking complexion, and with the right summer skin care routine, that youthful glow is within reach. Consistency is key to achieving your skin goals and avoiding dryness and irritation throughout your summer adventures. So add these Kind Science travel skin care picks to your packing list, then go ahead – explore the world with confidence, and let your radiant skin tell the story of your unforgettable summer journey.
