Holidays are coming - what you need to know

Elave is your Passport to Healthy, Happy, Holiday Skin!

Travel can broaden the mind – but it may compromise your skin! Before setting off on that well-deserved foreign holiday, don’t forget to take precautions to protect your skin. For example, skin is happiest when humidity is between 40-70%, but inside an aircraft cabin it is often as low as 20%. Pressurised cabins also affect blood flow, leaving your complexion looking dull and lifeless. If you have ever taken your shoes off on the plane, then tried to get them on again at the end of the flight, you will know how lack of movement causes puffiness. This is exacerbated by those pre-drinks in the bar and salty snacks on board. Even when you reach your destination, you cannot let your guard down, because UV rays and a change of diet can wreak havoc on your dermis. But there are steps you can take to get your skin travel-ready.

Hydrate from the inside out – and the outside in

Drinking plenty of water while you travel is a must – green tea is also very beneficial.

Rosacea affects 1 in 10 people in Ireland and is often known as ‘The Curse of the Celts’?  It can be mistaken for acne, eczema or an allergic reaction, causes facial redness and may produce small, red, pus-filled bumps. The first signs of rosacea are a blush-like reddening which spreads across the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin, along with a burning or stinging feeling when using water or certain skincare products.
