Self-Care Tips for Winter Travel

Travelling soon? Here are some self-care tips to help you pack for your winter travels

1. Hydrate, Hydrate and Hydrate

Dry skin is a problem that you definitely do not want to face while travelling. If you’re prone to getting dry skin, try putting on some moisturiser before venturing out for hours in the cold weather outside. A moisturiser keeps your skin soft and protected from cold weather. Sometimes, when the temperatures fall, even heavy moisturisers fall short. For such scenarios, you must carry hydrating face masks. There is a variety of face marks available in the market. Moreover, they are inexpensive and disposable. So, pack some masks to keep your skin fresh and glowing. In addition, make sure to keep one or two lip balms in your pocket to prevent your lips from chapping or cracking.

2. Drink Warm Fluids

Drinking warm fluids is very helpful during winter travel. It is advisable to pack a thermos or any other insulating water bottle to store warm water or any other fluid while on the go.

3. Carry Extra Warm Clothes

Winter holiday packing is incomplete without warm clothes. When packing for a winter holiday, you can pack thermals to wear under your clothes. Thermals are a wise choice as they are relatively less bulky. In addition, you can pack lighter jackets to layer above your clothes. However, if you are travelling to extremely cold places, do not forget to pack a couple of padded jackets.

4. Keep Your Feet Packed

Just like the thought of beaches reminds you of flip-flops, hills and mountains remind us of sneakers and boots. So when packing for winter travel, pack comfortable, warm shoes according to the weather. In addition, you can add some stylish or funky socks for a style statement.

5. Don’t Miss Your Hair Care

Winter travel does not just affect your skin. It affects your hair too. So next time you travel during winter, pack some leave-in hair packs or conditioners to prevent hair damage.

6. Pack Scarves, Hats and Gloves

Pack a scarf, hat, and gloves in your carry-on bag for your winter holiday. These are especially helpful if you travel to cold places like Manali, Ooty or Mussoorie.

7. Avoid Overstraining Yourself

This tip remains relevant for travelling in all seasons. However, this becomes even more relevant during winter travel. When you are on your winter holidays, you may be tempted to visit all of the top sightseeing places in a particular location. However, a hectic schedule can prove to be more tiring. So, avoid planning too many activities in a day.

8. Get Plenty of Rest

Lastly, you should get plenty of rest when on a winter holiday. The primary objective of a holiday or vacation is to unwind and get some rest. So, take a rest whenever possible.
