Traveling can do wonders for your soul, but not always for your skin. From dry airplane cabins, jet lag, environmental changes, and long travel days, your skin is often the first to show signs of stress. Whether exploring new cities or unwinding at the beach, maintaining your skincare routine while on the go is essential to looking and feeling your best.
Your skincare ritual should travel as effortlessly as you do. That's why our 23 Phytoserum and Dream Nighttime Phytocream are not only skin-transforming staples—they're also TSA-approved, making it easier than ever to stay glowing, grounded, and nourished, no matter your destination.
Why Travel Affects Your Skin
Before diving into your travel-friendly routine, it's essential to understand why your skin acts up while traveling:
- Airplane air is dehydrating – With humidity levels as low as 10-20%, airplane cabins can suck the moisture right out of your skin.
- Time zone changes impact your skin's rhythm. Your skin follows a natural circadian rhythm, which can be disrupted when you travel across time zones.
- New environments equal new stressors – Pollution, sun exposure, and even unfamiliar water may all lead to breakouts, dullness, or irritation.
The Essentials: Keep It Simple, Effective, and Portable
When traveling, less is more. Streamline your skincare routine to include only the essentials: cleanser, moisturizer, SPF, and targeted treatments. This will save space in your carry-on and ensure your skin isn't overwhelmed by product overload.
Here's your skin-saving travel duo:
23 Phytoserum – TSA-Approved Glow On the Go
Our 23 Phytoserum is your skin's best friend on the go. This lightweight, nutrient-dense serum is packed with 23 botanicals that work to hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate your skin. The travel-sized bottle easily slips into your cosmetic pouch and complies with TSA's liquid restrictions.
Use it: After cleansing, in the morning or at night, it instantly replenishes lost moisture and creates a radiant base for SPF or moisturizer. Pro tip: Apply mid-flight to fight dryness and refresh your skin at 30,000 feet.
Dream Nighttime Phytocream – Your Jet Lag Recovery Ritual
Long flights and late nights can leave your complexion looking fatigued. Enter Dream, our luxurious nighttime phytocream designed to help your skin recover while you rest. Infused with calming plant extracts, it supports overnight repair and soothes irritation caused by travel or environmental stressors. Andl, Dream is TSA-approved, so you can easily take this little jar of serenity anywhere.
Use it: As your final step in your nighttime routine, apply generously to clean skin before bed, even if "bedtime" is a different hour than usual. Your skin will wake up looking refreshed and recharged, even if you're still catching up on sleep.
Travel Skincare Tips
- Don't forget SPF. SPF is non-negotiable, whether you're headed to the mountains or the coast. Apply it every morning and reapply throughout the day, especially if you'll be spending time outdoors.
- Hydrate inside and out. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight. Pair it with your 23 Phytoserum for double hydration power.
- Pack a facial mist. A quick spritz mid-travel can calm and rehydrate your skin while giving you a refreshing mental reset. Try Source Vitál's Rose Toning Essence for a floral-scented pick-me-up.
Travel can disrupt your schedule, but your skincare ritual can remain a source of calm and consistency. With Apothesea's TSA-approved essentials in your carry-on, you can feel confident that your skin will stay healthy, hydrated, and radiant—no matter where your travels take you.
