By Kate Downes, LAc TCM Practitioner
With the holidays creeping up, many of us are preparing to hit the road - or air - for some winter travel.
But traveling during the depths of winter isn’t quite like traveling at any time of year. Drastic climate changes from north to south, harsh winter weather, dryness, jet lag, holiday stress, and other issues pose extra challenges for holiday jet setters.
We’ve put together a list of our top tips and Pink Moon picks to help your skin stay bright and cheery as you travel this holiday season!
Beauty Tips for Winter Holiday Travel
Don’t leave home without these travel-ready skincare secrets for healthy skin for the holidays:
1. Stay Hydrated on the Go

This pre-cut mask contains spa-quality holistic herbs and adaptogens with soothing properties and skin-plumping peptides. The bio-cellulose sheet adheres firmly to your skin for better absorption (and no slipping!). In just 30 minutes, you’ll be looking and feeling fully rejuvenated. Or, leave it on for up to 2 hours while you snooze at altitude.
