CLIMATE READY

Wherever you may find YOURSELF, here are our RECOMMENDA­TIONS ON WHAT TO PACK AND TREATMENTS TO SCHEDULE TO HAVE GREAT SKIN IN ANY SEASON

- Text MICA TORRES CRUZ

when it comes to visiting places that aren't warm and humid like the Philippine­s, it makes sense to tweak your skincare routine to fit the destinatio­n's climate best. To prevent shocking your skin due to the new environmen­t, which can lead to irritation, redness, and itching—you can already pack the recommende­d products to be well-prepared. In addition, we've included two treatments for your body and face for getting beach-ready and protected from city pollution. Even though travel is not a priority just yet, it's important to know the basics of what you need to maintain healthy skin, no matter where you go.

COLD AND DRY WEATHER

You can leave your sheer moisturize­r at home for traveling in cold weather. Instead, opt for a thicker face cream that can lock in your skin's moisture. For the face, La Prairie's Skin Caviar Luxe Cream has a dense formula containing microalgae and caviar extract. Your skin can also stay nourished by its botanical AHAS and vitamins. To prevent your body from itching caused by dryness, you can pack a bottle of Argentum Apothecary's La Lotion Infinie Body Cream. The rich cream is formulated with a patented fusion of Silver Hydrosol and DNA HP. The former helps with anti-inflammati­on while the latter promotes cell regenerati­on.

HEAVY POLLUTION

Some of the most exciting trips happen in bustling cities like Milan and Paris. However, they're pretty polluted given wide transporta­tion and industry omissions. Since poor air quality can lower your body's collagen and elastin levels, you can do a treatment that straighten­s the skin. Aivee Clinic's Aivee Protege may stimulate your collagen network using thermal waves, which can improve the skin's texture and laxity.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO

Wherever you find yourself, sunscreen should always remain consistent in your routine. It combats skin aging, decreases the risk of skin cancer, and protects you from harmful UVB rays—which are present no matter the climate.

TROPICAL DESTINATIO­NS

Whether you're heading to Palawan or the Maldives, getting beach ready comes with feeling confident showing off some skin. For a treatment that may boost your workout and healthy diet results, Avignon Clinic offers a noninvasiv­e procedure through Emscupt NEO. It claims to contract muscle fibers at intensitie­s that aren't achievable in voluntary workouts. Under the “extreme stress” prompted by HIFEM+ energy, these areas can adapt and result in a growth in muscle fibers and burn fat—making it two therapies combined in one treatment. The areas it can tend to are your abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, and calves.
