Planning your year-end holidays? Before you start packing your outfits and travel essentials, don’t forget your skin. Whether you’re heading to a chilly winter destination or soaking up the sun on a beach getaway, travel can take a serious toll on your complexion.

Long flights, dry cabin air, changing climates and hectic schedules can leave your skin feeling dehydrated, dull, or prone to breakouts. That’s why October is the best time to give your skin a proper reset — and set it up for glowing, healthy days ahead.

At Skindays, our facial experts in Singapore have curated the best pre-holiday facial treatments and travel skincare tips to keep your complexion balanced, radiant, and camera-ready — no matter where your adventures take you.

Why Travel Can Stress Out Your Skin

Even the best skincare routine can be disrupted by travel. Here’s why:

• Dry cabin air on flights rapidly depletes skin hydration, often leading to tightness or flakiness post-landing.
• Climate changes — from Singapore’s humidity to cold winter air — can shock your skin barrier, making it more prone to sensitivity and breakouts.
• Irregular sleep and changes in diet can throw off your skin’s natural rhythm.
• Sun exposure, especially during outdoor sightseeing, can accelerate pigmentation and dullness if not protected properly.

The solution: Prep your skin early with deep cleansing, hydrating, and barrier-strengthening facials, so it’s in top condition before you travel.

Best Facials in Singapore to Prep Your Skin Before Flying

The ideal pre-holiday facial should focus on deep hydration, skin barrier strengthening, and gentle exfoliation — not aggressive treatments that could leave your skin sensitive before travel. At Skindays, our facials are designed to bring your complexion back to balance, so your skin stays resilient and glowing no matter where you’re headed.

Here are our top facial treatments to get your skin travel-ready:

(i) Expert Facial — 1–2 Days Before Travel

A deeply purifying and rebalancing facial that removes build-up, calms inflammation, and floods the skin with hydration. Our most popular Expert Facial is perfect for creating a clean, healthy canvas before boarding your flight — so your skin can better handle the drying effects of cabin air and changing climates.

‍

(ii) Renewal Facial — For Skin Barrier Repair & Gentle Exfoliation

This treatment is ideal if your skin has been feeling dull, tired, or congested from daily air-conditioning. The Renewal Facial uses a PHA peel to gently exfoliate without harshness, revealing smoother, more radiant skin. It also boosts cell turnover and reinforces your skin barrier, making it stronger and more resilient ahead of travel.

(iii) GlowNow Facial — Perfect Post-Flight Reset

Our signature GlowNow Facial focuses on thorough cleansing and glow-boosting — great for keeping congestion at bay, especially if you’ve been spending long hours in air-conditioned environments. It’s a go-to option for maintaining clarity and radiance before heading overseas.

Travel Skincare Tips from Skindays Experts

A good facial is your foundation — but pairing it with a smart travel routine keeps your glow going strong. Here’s what we recommend packing:

• Hydrating mist to refresh your skin on the plane.
• Moisturiser with ceramides or hyaluronic acid to seal in hydration.
• Sunscreen — even in cold climates. UV rays are still strong!
• Mini cleanser to remove impurities after flights.
• Sheet masks for overnight hydration boosts at your destination.
