Travel can be stressful, and preparation is key whether you’re traveling internationally, cross-country, or just a short distance away. To help you make the most of your journey and ensure a stress-free holiday season, here are six essential travel tips tailored for redheads:
1. Plan ahead
There’s nothing more frustrating than arriving at your destination only to realize you’ve forgotten something important at home. To avoid this, consider creating a packing list and planning your outfits. Additionally, ensure you have all the beauty products you need before you leave, allowing time for a last-minute Amazon order or a quick trip to the store if necessary. As redheads, finding the right products can sometimes be a challenge, so ensuring you’re fully stocked before embarking on your journey is essential.
2. Try and pack light
Effective planning enables you to maximize the space in your bag, allowing you to pack more efficiently and carry less. Traveling light simplifies airport procedures and creates more space in the car. Additionally, with a packing list, you can be confident that you have everything you need. Here are some tips for packing light:
- Plan outfits: Choose versatile, mix-and-match clothing in a cohesive color palette.
- Layer smartly: Pack lightweight layers and wear bulky items while traveling.
- Use packing cubes: Organize and maximize space.
- Limit shoes: Stick to 2-3 versatile pairs.
- Travel-sized toiletries: Opt for minis or solids and skip what’s provided.
- Multi-use items: A scarf or a jacket with dual functionality.
- Roll clothes: Saves space and reduces wrinkles.
- Minimal accessories: Pack just a few versatile pieces.
- Laundry kit: Wash clothes on the go-to pack less.
3. Bring an extra layer
Did you know redheads tend to be more sensitive to heat and cold? If you’re traveling to a destination with a climate different from your current location, it’s advisable to pack a small blanket or jacket. Exposure to cold temperatures can sometimes trigger headaches or cause discomfort, making it essential to stay prepared.
4. Prep your skin
Travel can take a toll on our skin. Airports and airplanes often circulate dry air, which can lead to irritation and breakouts, while long hours in a car can leave your skin feeling uncomfortable. To protect your skin, clean and moisturize with a rich, hydrating moisturizer. If you’re comfortable, consider skipping makeup to allow your skin to breathe. Instead, opt for brow gel and mascara to maintain a polished appearance.
5. Grab the essentials
Pack all your must-haves, such as redhead makeup, SPF, skincare, medication, contacts/glasses, chargers, and a spare change of undergarments, in your carry-on or purse. This will ensure you have them with you if your bags get lost or buried in the backseat. Note: Ensure all your liquids follow TSA guidelines if you are flying.
6. Stay hydrated
Keeping your body hydrated will help prevent fatigue. Drink plenty of water and consider adding electrolytes to boost your hydration. It’s also essential to hydrate your skin. Keep your lips, face, and hands hydrated, especially if you’re out in the cold.
Rock it like a Redhead!
