Taking care of your skin on a holiday

August 22, 2008


Who doesn’t like a holiday? It’s the time to leave aside daily monotonous hassles and enjoy oneself. But, do you realize that a change in place, weather and food could cause skin problems? Let’s see what we can do to avoid it all.

We need to firstly plan our holiday destination well. What may appear to be a scenic, romantic and fun loving place could cause your skin to develop irritations so beware! Chose a vacation place with care.

Do not forget to carry your SPF sunscreen presuming that you are not going to spend your holidays locked indoors. That means, a moisturiser for cold weather must also be taken. Do not also forget the mosquito repellent to keep those little itchy red bumps from forming on your face and hands. Travelling can cause you to lose a lot of body fluids. So, drink lots and lots of clean bacteria free water.

Be careful about using toilet seats in trains and hotels. They could cause irritating and painful rashes. A tissue wipe or a mug full of diluted dettol water should suffice. Be also very careful to not use those fancy toiletries that hotels provide you. Compact and cute they may appear but could cause allergies if they don’t suit your skin.

Refresh your memory about food allergies. Don’t get greedy and eating something that could cause an allergy and spoil your entire vacation. If you are planning to go trekking avoid wearing shorts. Those nasty thorns and insect bites can be mighty painful and poisonous too! Wear trousers and full-sleeved shirts. Do carry a first aid kit of calamine lotion, Avil, Dettol, Neosporin and anti-allergic tablets just in case.

Your skin is the mirror of your personality. So, take care, prevent skin problems and have an enjoyable holiday.
