Christmas Travel Beauty Routines

Traveling is a small part of my job and a big part of my life.  I love going to places, meeting people, and learning different things.  But long hours on airplanes or visiting countries with drastic climates just don’t agree with my skin.  I am going to share some tips that help me and hopefully you will find some of them useful too!
Beauty Routine While Up in the Air

For any non-stop flight that is shorter than 6 hours, I just bring a small tube of highly moisturizing serum (like Jusei’s Facial Serum) and re-apply every hour.  For work, I often have to fly for 10+ hours.  Instead of the serum, I always bring a couple pieces of facial masks with me.  Facial masks are good for the plane because they are easy to carry and TSA doesn’t really check for them.  The amount of liquid in a single piece of mask is also within TSA regulation, in case anyone is worried.  When I am about to take a nap during the flight, I will put on the mask and nap for 20 minutes.  Usually the mask doesn’t dry up after a single use, so I will re-use it again couple hours later.  And that’s it!

If you are self-conscious or traveling with friends/family, then just stick with the facial serum.  But I have to let you in on a secret.  I used to worry about people judging me (“Look at that weirdo!! Wearing facial mask on a plane!!”) until I realized that people weren’t paying attention at all.  One of the stewardess even told me that she thinks this is brilliant and she will do that next time!
Jusei Beauty currently carries three kinds of facial masks (new arrival of winter 2011): Brightening Masks, Crystal Masks, and Golden Age Masks.

Beauty Routine in Snowy Places

Wishing for a white Christmas? Don’t forget that snow equals to dry skin!  Winter skincare is similar to how you dress for cold weather.  Layer it up like an onion!  First layer should be a light-weight moisturizer, followed by an oily (but highly absorbing) serum or lotion, and finally with sunblock (during the day, of course).  Because of the cold weather, you spend a lot of time in a dry, heated room.  Remember to use facial masks every other day to prevent micro-wrinkles from forming underneath your skin.  Facial serum is still your best friend in the winter, so take it with you and use it whenever your skin feels tight.

Wish you all a merry Christmas and happy holidays!  May all your beauty wishes come true!
