2. Forgo the foundationWear only moisturizer to help avoid dehydrated skin.
3. Mist with mineral waterThis will refresh your make-up while traveling.
4. Blot out oily skin -Keep blotting or rice paper with you and dab your ‘t’ zone often.
5. Add some shimmer -Perk up a sallow complexion with a shimmer powder or cream.
6. Skip the long-lasting lipsticksUse lip stain or lip gloss instead to avoid drying out.
7. Apply lip treatment liberally - A medicated lip balm is best to battle high heat or air conditioning often found in buses, airplanes, etc.
8. Chill out puffy eyes -Put crushed ice in a wash cloth and apply under eyes.
9. Perk up your peepers -Bring eye drops to soothe and lubricate eyes that can easily dry out after watching movies or reading on a long trip.
10. Love your naked lashes -Avoid wearing mascara to avoid looking like a spider at the end of your trip!
11. Banish bright polishes - Bare polishes don’t show chipping, which is likely!

13. Take a cleanser with you - An abrupt change in cleanser can disrupt your skin – take your cleanser with you!
14. Get your beauty rest - Don a sleeping mask and eye cream before getting some shut eye.
15. Slather on the hand cream -Never leave home without it! Hand cream can counter the effects of harsh, commercial-grade soap found in public bathrooms.
16. Pack your beauty products - Bring your high-end products along, because they are often much more expensive overseas.
17. Tame your tresses - Keep a natural boar bristle brush in your carry-on.
