When packing for your vacation, don't forget hand cosmetics. On sunny days, they need special care – UV radiation, salty sea water, and even dry airplane air can easily damage the hydrolipid barrier, causing hands to quickly lose moisture. However, dryness is nothing compared to the damage that daily sun exposure can cause. Don't want to return from vacation with discoloration and wrinkles on your hands? Be sure to pack these essential products in your suitcase.
Your travel set should include not only hand moisturizers – after all, this is the basis of their care throughout the year. In summer, anti-aging protection becomes more important. Solar radiation is the number one cause of hand aging. Therefore, for your vacation trip, you should definitely take anti-aging cosmetics that will prevent the formation of wrinkles and discoloration on your hands. We have a ready list of cosmetics that will help you take care of them.
Handy Lab Summer Travel Set
This set is an absolute must-have for this year's vacation. It contains 4 regenerating hand masks enclosed in an elegant cotton bag, decorated with a drawing by Polish painter Monika Libelula. The set consists of two Extreme Hyaluron and two Extreme Retinol masks in the form of convenient gloves. They provide a complete treatment for your vacation, soothing, moisturizing, and protecting hand skin exposed to harsh external conditions. The essence enclosed in the gloves contains essential active ingredients that eliminate the signs of photoaging: pigment spots, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. Vitamin C, as a strong antioxidant, combats the negative effects of UV radiation and protects against discoloration. Retinol stimulates collagen production, thereby reducing the signs of hand aging. Hyaluronic acid restores their smoothness and firmness.
Handy Lab Summer Travel Set doesn't take up much space and you can easily pack it in your carry-on suitcase. You can perform a regenerating mask treatment even on board the plane – a several-hour journey is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a relaxing ritual with the scent of white tea. During it, you can read a book or enjoy a glass of wine. The mask contains UV filters, so after the treatment, your hands will be protected from harmful radiation. For this reason, you can use it before going to the beach or for a walk.
Use the practical cotton bag as a toiletry bag for other hand care products. What else is worth putting in it?
Nail and Cuticle Oil
Sunbathing, daily sea and pool dips can dry out not only hands but also nails. To prevent vacation activities from weakening delicate nail plates, additionally equip yourself with an oil. Every evening, massage it into your nails and the cuticles around them – this will make them flexible, soft, and moisturized. You can use ready-made blends or choose pure, cold-pressed oils, such as argan or jojoba oil.
Antibacterial Gel
A disinfectant will be useful at the airport and during your trip. Choose one that contains moisturizing and soothing ingredients – they will counteract the drying effect of alcohol. Look for added aloe vera, glycerin, panthenol. You can also get a natural preparation containing oils with antibacterial properties: camphor, eucalyptus, tea tree, or sandalwood. The cosmetic will disinfect and also smell pleasant.
Hand Cream
A classic hand cream is also worth having on hand – especially when you're on the go and moving around a lot. Choose one with a light consistency that absorbs easily and won't make your hands slippery after application. A good idea is to find a hand cream enriched with sunscreens – it will come in handy not only on the beach. Remember to choose a small-capacity cosmetic that you can pack in your carry-on luggage and that won't take up much space.
