Planning Your Trip: Last Minute Tasks
It’s vital that you do whatever’s possible to minimise any last-minute rush on the day of your commute. Often, this can mean a myriad of things, including shopping, finding someone to look after your pets while you’re away, booking beauty appointments and ensuring that your luggage is packed strategically. Additionally, there’s the overarching, long-term deliverables such as flight check-ins, booking confirmations and prior research into the local dialect, food and popular sights of the location you’re vacationing in.
If you’re planning for your next trip but have forgotten to take these tasks into mind, don’t panic. We will highlight some of the more important considerations to keep in mind in the days leading up to your fabulous adventure.
Important Considerations Before You Fly
Below are just a few examples of the considerations you may have to prepare for beforehand. By ensuring that all of these factors are considered and planned for before you fly, you get to free up mental space so that you can enjoy yourself once you land. This will save you from any unwanted emergencies or confusion upon arrival.
Safety And Security: While you’re gone on your big trip, your usual home or living space is likely going to stand empty. This may have some security and safety implications, so it’s good to think about how you can check in and make sure that everything is still standing as it should be. You can do this by either giving your spare keys to a close friend or family member so that they can occasionally drop by to check in on your pets or plants.
Budget And Money Movements: With the differences in currency from country to country, it’s important to plan for the exchange rate and save up your finances accordingly. Once you’ve reached your goal amount, and as your holiday inches closer and closer, you can draw your currency in advance to avoid having to do any administrative work after your land. When budgeting, also remember that it’s wise to overestimate the costs, as there may always be additional expenses or emergencies which may need your attention. Other admin worth budgeting for include transport, international sim cards fees, and any additional insurance options for your luggage and flights.
Itinerary: Before you arrive, ask yourself what kind of travel itinerary you really perceive to be ideal. Are you the kind of person who wants to fill your days with tourist destinations and attend them on a strict schedule, or do you prefer to spend quality time in local spots where you sit back and relax? Determining which kind of travel type you are will make a major difference in how you schedule your itinerary and budget for the trip.
What To Pack: Skincare Addition
Now that you’ve got an idea of how your trip will pan out once you arrive, it’s time to pack your skincare essentials. If you’re a seasoned traveler, you’ll know that packing your toiletries bag is crucial, especially for plane travel and varying climates. Here’s a quick breakdown of what kind of products you should pack for both the plane and your holiday luggage:
Carry-on Skincare
Sheet Mask: As planes have low levels of humidity, your skin can dry out while flying, especially if your flight is long. Hydration is key, which is why a sheet mask is a great product to use as it keeps the skin hydrated and makes your commute more comfortable. What better way to relax and unwind during your flight than with a refreshing face mask?
Facial Mist: As mentioned, hydration is essential while flying, which is why you want to ensure that you have skincare products that will prevent the skin from drying out. A hydrating face mist not only helps to add moisture to the skin but is always a great tool to refresh the skin after a nap.
Moisturiser: While facial mists and sheet masks aren’t crucial for your carry-on skincare luggage, moisturiser is. If you’d prefer to skip the extra skincare steps and keep it simple, be sure to pack your regular moisturiser and keep it on hand.
Water: Hydration is the key to keeping your skin feeling supple during your flight, both internally and externally. If you want to feel refreshed, be sure to drink water regularly while flying, especially if your flight is especially long.
Toiletries Bag Essentials
Gentle Cleanser: If you tend to use harsh, salon-grade face washes, rather opt for a gentle cleanser while on your vacation. As you’ll be using your cleanser daily, you should avoid irritating it, especially if you’re in a new climate and your skin is sensitive to weather changes.
Serums: If you suffer from hyperpigmentation, be sure to pack a quality serum that has active ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide and antioxidants. These ingredients work exceptionally well at brightening the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Serums are especially useful if you’re experiencing any jetlag while vacationing.
Gel Moisturiser: Gel moisturisers are highly recommended for travel destinations with hot, humid weather conditions. Humid climates can stimulate excess oil production, which is why a gel moisturiser is effective for hydrating the skin giving it a plump, glowy look.
Beauty Preparations Before You Travel
Grooming is an extremely important aspect of any travel preparations. This includes everything from facials and laser therapy and to hair removal and skin rejuvenation. Before people head off for their dream holidays, many choose to book salon appointments for their hair, nails, skin and more.
Most often, seasoned travellers receive cosmetic treatments before travelling as they most likely want to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin while travelling. Receiving our laser hair removal Cape Town treatment, for example, will not only mean that you’ll look great in the many pictures you take while vacationing, but that you’ll also be feeling your best with smooth, silky skin. As the saying goes, when you look good, you feel good. Why not go the extra mile to feel good while you travel the world? Below are just a few of the benefits of receiving laser hair removal before travelling:
Affordability And Long-term Savings: Once you’ve arrived at your holiday destination, you may want to refresh your skin with hair removal for beach visits or lounging outside your hotel in your swimming costume. To avoid having to book yourself into a beauty salon using a more expensive exchange rate in a foreign country, it’s best to go locally. This will save you money in the long run, as it is also a more sustainable option than waxing, which requires seemingly endless repeat appointments. Affordability is key in this context as your holiday will likely be quite expensive. It’s better to make sure your beauty is efficient and reasonably priced, as it is with NuSkinnovation’s laser hair removal Cape Town clinic.
Travelling During Hotter Months More Comfortably: Getting our laser hair removal Cape Town treatment will save you from any discomfort while wearing a swimming costume on the beachside, or during the hot summer days when you may have to walk long distances to get to your anticipated destination. Body and facial hair can be a major irritant and may also reduce your confidence to wear certain outfits in unfamiliar places. In this sense, laser hair removal is the perfect solution.
Reducing Stress: While you may have the finances to afford beauty and cosmetic appointments in foreign countries, it’s better to book your laser treatment at a trusted clinic that you’re familiar with, like NuSkinnovation. Instead of booking laser hair removal appointments, spend your time indulging in more relaxing treatments, like massages, manicures or facials. Having the added stress and admin of planning your laser treatments in a foreign place may affect your trip, so rather get your skin treated beforehand.
Familiarity And Comfort: Getting our laser hair removal Cape Town treatment is beneficial because, locally, you know what to expect. Beauty practices tend to differ from country to country, so you may find yourself surprised or lost in translation if you get work done at a new spot. To avoid this, it’s always better to go to a trusted somatologist from an accredited laser clinic, like NuSkinnovation. Laser hair removal also ensures that there is continuity in your grooming and that no unevenness occurs in your hair removal and care.
