When you're traveling, whether on a plane or sitting for hours in a car, bus or train, you'll usually look tired and disheveled at the end of the trip due to being tired from flying, exhausted and having to sit in a seat with limited space. However, it is not impossible if you want to look presentable and attractive while traveling. Just follow the suggestions given in this article to help you look good when you step out of your vehicle.
Step
Step 1. Start by avoiding additional stress
Before going on a trip, make sure you prepare everything you need in advance so you don't start your journey feeling restless. For example, pack up everything before your scheduled departure and make sure you have plenty of time to do pre-departure tasks, such as locking all doors and windows, temporarily unsubscribing to newspapers, clearing all bills, and so on. Thinking about all these things after departure can cause you anxiety. So, make sure you have cleared all of these affairs properly before leaving. Also, make sure you have enough time to get to the terminal, station or airport, or if you are driving a private vehicle, to get to your destination. Waiting some time before the scheduled departure will not be in vain. You can read, breathe a sigh of relief that you've got things done without rushing and can wait at ease.
Step 2. Make sure you get enough sleep the night before
Drinking coffee can be a smart move.
Step 3. Choose clothes that are both comfortable and fashionable
- Wear tight-fitting t-shirts so you can stay comfortable, but also look stylish. Body fitting sweatpants are available for both men and women. However, if you don't like this type of pants, look for pants that are designed for travel at a store that sells items for outdoor activities as they usually sell clothes that are comfortable as well as trendy.
- Wear a top that is light and fits well but don't forget to bring a sweater (the air on the plane tends to be cold.
Step 4. Choose a neutral outfit and wear accessories to accentuate the color
Any tops you choose should match all pants.
Step 5. Never wear new shoes while traveling
Walking with a limp is unattractive to the eye.
- Wear shoes without buttons or laces or shoes that can be removed easily (you may have to take your shoes off at the airport for safety reasons).
- Wear socks so your feet don't get cold (and you don't have to worry about smelly feet when you have to take your shoes off at the security check!) choose socks that absorb sweat, such as the enhanced Cool-Max® or SOKA socks.
Step 6. Take care of the skin on the way
Traveling often makes you experience climate change or at least sit in a vehicle or plane with stagnant air circulation. Bring a moisturizer or spray product to prevent dry, pale skin. This step is important for both men and women. So, don't be shy to take it. Find a moisturizer that suits your skin and style.
- Bring a spray bottle filled with water like Evian (often used by models and celebrities to refresh the skin) and a few drops of lavender oil. Spray on the face to refresh the skin.
- If you are going on a long trip across the ocean, use a facial moisturizer that is suitable for the night. The next day, you can simply wash your face in the toilet and apply a moisturizing serum afterward. The face will look much brighter.
- Apply hand cream all over hands during travel. Choose a cream with a scent you like because something familiar will help you rest.
Step 7. Reduce the chance of the body emitting unpleasant odors due to long journeys
Sitting in one place without doing your usual activities can cause the body to emit a slightly less pleasant odor than usual. Easy ways to solve this problem include:
- Freshen your breath. Bring mints to freshen your breath or brush your teeth to get rid of any buildup.
- Do not smoke. The smell of cigarettes will stick to the whole body and annoy people sitting near you. In addition, you will arrive at your destination with a stale smell.
- Try to avoid alcohol when traveling, especially air travel. Alcohol does not do any good for the body because it can make it difficult for you to sleep. Alcohol also makes the skin dry and makes bad breath and enlarged pores. You can enjoy your favorite drink after landing!
- Don't forget to bring your favorite perfume. Spray some perfume at the end of the trip to freshen up. Do this after getting off the plane. Some people are sensitive to smells and can feel nauseous if they have to sit near someone who doesn't realize that the perfume is too strong or that they don't like the smell.
Step 8. The best smells are clean ones
Travel wipes can be very helpful for refreshing yourself and you can do this in the airplane toilet.
Step 9. If your eyes tend to be dry, use artificial tears
To treat a dry nose, use a saline spray.
Women should wear panty liners and change them regularly to keep them fresh. If you are menstruating while traveling, change pads or tampons regularly to avoid bad odors and the risk of infection. Don't forget to bring enough supplies of pads/tampons
Step 10. Style your hair in the most comfortable style
If you have long hair, consider breaking it down, or styling it loosely so your hair doesn't pull, such as a loose braid or ponytail. For those with short hair, simply comb it to keep it neat.
Bring a small bottle of leave-in conditioner and apply before you arrive at your destination. Or, use an antifrizz product if your hair tends to get stiff, especially if you're traveling from a cold/moderate climate to a place with high humidity
Step 11. Don't wear too much makeup if you're used to dressing up everyday
Apply a small amount of lip gloss and lightly brush on the eyelids (for a “healthy glow”). When you arrive at your destination, you can fix your makeup, but don't overdo it until you can do it in a comfortable place with mirrors and good lighting.
Step 12. Try to sleep
Taking the time to take a nap during your trip will go a long way in how you look and feel when you get to your destination. So, try to sleep on the way. In fact, simply closing your eyes and wearing a blindfold and meditating or doing nothing and just sitting in the dark can provide a rest that can make the body feel fit.
- If your surroundings are so noisy or distracting that you're having a hard time falling asleep, in addition to wearing ear plugs and blindfolds, try not to fight your thoughts. If you're constantly telling yourself: "I can't sleep with all the fussing over the kids in aisle 10A," you'll be focusing on what's irritating you and not sleeping. Forget it and let yourself rest instead of punishing yourself for not getting a perfect sleep.
- If you can choose to travel by train equipped with a bed, we recommend using this mode of transportation. That way, you can travel in a graceful way and can sleep properly (and follow a rhythm), and when you arrive at your destination you will be completely refreshed than if you had chosen other modes of transportation. In fact, traveling by train can be a pleasant experience because you will be pampered. If you are traveling by train in Europe, look for special rates for business class.
Step 13. Carry a water bottle with you when you travel
Thus, the body will stay hydrated. In addition, you seem to take good care of yourself and this will increase your self-confidence.
It's best to opt for water over sugary drinks or alcohol on the way. Water will keep you hydrated and won't make you feel hyperactive (and ready for bed) or sleepy
Step 14. Eat healthy on the go
For many this may mean avoiding the food served on board. So pack fresh, nutritionally-packed homemade meals onto the plane. If you're traveling by car, boat, train or bus, it's again best to bring some healthy homemade food with you as there's no guarantee you'll find a place that serves such food on your trip. However, by planning your route in advance, you can check the internet whether there are healthy eating places to pass on your way, and whether your schedule allows you to stop there or not. Some healthy foods that you can bring include:
- Sandwiches or kebabs with your favorite filling.
- Durable fruits, such as apples, oranges and bananas.
- Nuts and seeds.
- Salad in a container.
- Carrots and celery sticks.
- If you're traveling across a province or across a border, there may be quarantine regulations requiring you to throw away uneaten food. However, this depends on where you are traveling. So, look for more details on the internet.
Step 15. Try to smile often
People will love to be around you if you do.
Tips
- Chew gum or chewing gum during takeoff to help clear blockages in your ears.
- Take plenty of time to pack up before leaving. That way, you can sleep comfortably the night before your departure, and help you remember nothing.
- Choose a good suitcase and don't make it difficult to carry. Don't buy a heavy suitcase even if it's empty. You'll have a hard time moving it when it's fully charged. Luggage that can be carried or pulled easily does not cause you fatigue or worry while traveling. Make sure you choose a suitcase that is strong and has good security. For bags that will be carried around (not included in the trunk), you should choose one that has many pockets so that it is easier for you to separate your belongings and find them when you need them. Remember what items are in which side of the bag. That way, you'll have no trouble trying to find a humidifier, breath freshener and toothbrush in the dark!
- Show confidence as you walk through the airport so you don't look tired and tired of flying.
- If you are traveling by car, make plans to make frequent stops so passengers can freshen up. Do something like walking, playing ball, stretching, and relaxing every time you get out of the car.
- If you choose the boat mode of transportation and you are prone to seasickness, bring a suitable anti-sickness medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you need a recommendation. Or, if you prefer homeopathic remedies, there are several options available. However, it would be nice if you also bring anti-hangover medication as a backup.
- If you tend to have nosebleeds, the dry air on board can trigger it. Apply saline solution to the nasal cavity and wear dark clothes. You certainly don't want your favorite white skirt to be stained with blood.
- Women with long hair can carry a handy small brush comb (available at beauty supply stores) to keep their hair soft.
