Skincare for girls with a passion for “wandering” in summer

The cicadas begin to buzz in the leafy canopy, and the flame-tree branches flaunt their fiery red in a corner of the sky, as if to signal that summer has arrived. Surely you too already have plans to let loose to the fullest in the summer weather, right? However, ladies, don’t forget that your skin will have to face the extremely harsh effects of the weather, and will also be left with “scars” after each trip.

Follow the article below to pocket some basic skincare tips for your upcoming trip!

1. The unforeseen harm when you “starve” your skin during trips

1.1 Sunburned skin

Vietnam’s summer sun is notoriously harsh and fierce, capable of reaching up to 40 degrees. And what will happen to your skin if it has to face that “enemy” directly? Although invisible to the naked eye, the UV rays from sunlight have an extremely dangerous effect on the skin, stimulating the production of melanin pigment that leads to sunburn, and over time to increasingly visible melasma and dark blemishes. And more seriously, it can lead to the risk of skin cancer.

1.2 Prone to breakouts after a trip

After conquering winding, novel roads, the skin of these “backpacker” girls has to bear a whole lot of dirt, dust and grease. If, after a long, tiring day full of stifling dust, the girls simply neglect their skin, the pores will become clogged, leading to serious acne problems after the trip.

1.3 Rough skin, severely lacking moisture

You have meticulously scheduled plans, detailing every not-to-be-missed spot, which leads to forgetting to replenish water and moisture for the body. At this point, your skin will “signal” that the body is severely dehydrated with signs such as roughness and flaking that cause itching and discomfort.

2. Sharing survival tips for your skin throughout the trip

2.1 Apply sunscreen regularly

Throughout your trips, you get to immerse yourself in fresh, cool nature. At this point, the tube of sunscreen will surely take the throne as the indispensable “best friend” of your skin. You need to choose a sunscreen with a high SPF/PA index and broad spectrum to help your skin be absolutely protected against the harmful effects of sunlight. Because moving around makes you sweat a lot, which makes the sunscreen layer easily wash off, you need to carefully choose a “best friend” that is not only sun-protective but also effectively water-resistant.

In addition, don’t forget to reapply sunscreen every 2 – 3 hours to ensure your skin doesn’t get sun-damaged after a long period of activity.

2.2 Simple facial cleansing

Outdoor trips inevitably cannot avoid factors such as dirt, bacteria and sunlight all pressing onto the facial skin. You need to maintain the 2 basic skin-cleansing steps below to ensure your skin stays healthy during and after your trips

Makeup removal

Makeup removal is the opening step for the entire skin-cleansing process, tasked with taking away the layers of makeup, sunscreen and grease accumulated throughout a long day on the surface, while also helping to moisturize the skin so it becomes smoother and more supple.

Facial cleanser

Following the makeup-removal step, you need to use a facial cleanser to work deep into the pores, helping them become clearer and cleaner, avoiding creating favorable conditions for acne-causing bacteria to multiply.

2.3 Quickly hydrate the skin with facial mist

Moisturizer is the process of helping the skin replenish and maintain the necessary amount of moisture, protecting the skin from signs of aging. However, hydrating with moisturizer brings some disadvantages during play, as it takes a lot of time and easily washes off in harsh weather. Delivering hydration as effective as moisturizer, facial mist is increasingly loved by travel-loving girls because it is easy to use anytime, anywhere, providing instant hydration and moisture to the skin and bringing a comfortable, refreshing feeling.

With just 3 simple tips, you can still fully enjoy the “wandering” trips of youth while your skin remains absolutely “healthy”.
