Summer is the time for beach days, bonfires, and summer vacation! Whether you are going on a road trip or traveling internationally, you are going to want to pack a small skincare kit. Traveling is highly dehydrating to your skin. We all want to look our best when looking back at our vacation photographs. Here are some tips for keeping your skin hydrated on long car or plane trips!

Dehydration and Its Visual Effects

Dehydration happens when you lose more fluids than you take in, according to the Mayo Clinic. Dehydrated skin looks flaky and feels itchy. Beyond not drinking enough water, sun exposure, products, and your environment play a major role. Studies investigating the effects of long flights show that the dry, recirculated, cool air in airplane cabins quickly dries out your skin layer.

How to Rehydrate Effectively

Many articles mention packing face masks and completing a full skincare routine in airplane bathrooms, but you might prefer to carry just one reliable product to save space. At Aurganics, we formulated a single target treatment designed to help maintain your skin health while traveling.

Prioritizing Internal Hydration

Our top tip is to drink plenty of water. Water is the absolute key to maintaining your moisture barrier while traveling, especially if you are running around a new city as a tourist.

What goes on our skin matters as much as what goes into our bodies. Using the right oils and antioxidants makes a major difference when exposing your skin to new environments. If your skin looks dry after landing, target treatments can quickly restore balance.

The Benefits of Aloe Vera

Aloe vera treats sunburns, skin irritation, and dehydration. Aloe vera tissue gel is 98% water and provides instant hydration upon topical application. It contains bioactive antioxidants that treat and maintain the skin barrier. A study evaluated by Medical News Today demonstrates that aloe vera helps increase collagen production. Our Alpha Glow Serum is formulated with a pure aloe base for immediate hydration.

The Benefits of Jojoba Oil

Alongside aloe vera, jojoba oil helps soothe dry skin. It is a natural, lightweight liquid wax that boosts moisture retention across various skin types. Its high content of vitamin E and antioxidants mimics natural human skin sebum. It can be used daily and coordinates well with your skin's natural moisture barrier.
