Savvy Tips for Travelers with Rosacea
Whether it’s for business or pleasure,
medications and skin care practices should not be left at home when
you travel. Following these tips can help you keep your rosacea
under control while away from home:
-
When flying, pack your medication
and any special skin care products in your carry-on bag when
possible.
-
Don’t take a break from your normal
skin care routine and use medication as prescribed.
Research shows that consistent use improves the overall
effectiveness of therapy.
-
When eating, avoid known triggers
and proceed with caution when trying new foods.
-
Remember to practice sun
protection. Limit your exposure to the sun, wear sunglasses that
protect your eyes from both the UVA and UVB rays of the sun,
apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more, and
wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat.
-
When it is warm outside, plan
outdoor activities for cooler times of the day.
