In this episode of Skinside Out, Dr. Zain Husain, Heather Murray, PA-C, and Courtney Carroll, LE, break down practical skincare tips for nearly every kind of trip, from beach vacations and mountain hikes to snowy destinations, city trips, and humid tropical environments. 

They cover sunscreen application and reapplication, sun-protective clothing, forgotten areas like the lips and tops of the feet, dry skin at altitude, bug protection, travel-sized skincare, hotel products, acne while traveling, and what essentials are worth keeping in your bag.

You’ll also hear why a “base tan” is really just sun damage, why snow can increase UV exposure, why you may want to bring your own cleanser and moisturizer, and why tweezers might be one of the most underrated items in your travel kit.

Whether you’re heading to the beach, the mountains, a city, or somewhere tropical, the goal is simple: prepare your skin for the environment before you get there.
