Road Trip Skincare Checklist for Men

For men, keeping skin clean and clear can be more work than play when you’re on the road and away from all of your MenScience products. For road trips, MenScience Travel Kit is your most convenient option. This kit features 10 mini-versions of MenScience essentials that will keep you looking your best on your journey. Here are just a few of the products you’ll find in our travel kit:

1. Sunscreen

Many people forget the importance of prevention. By protecting your face with a men’s sunscreen, you can stop sunburn and other sun-related skin damage from occurring. On a road trip, you’ll spend a lot of time outdoors so it’s of the utmost importance to use some type of sun protection. Pack some TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 before your trip to ensure a sunburn-free vacation. “Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage” offers more suncare advice.

2. Cleanser

Because it can be difficult to wash your face often when you’re on the road, a daily face wash for men is a must-have. By using MenScience Daily Face Wash just once a day, you can remove impurities and debris that can clog pores and contribute to acne breakouts. You may also want to invest in a men’s body wash, which can help clean your body better than soap and water while also preventing body acne. “Body Acne Tips for Men” lists the best ways to get rid of body breakouts.

3. Exfoliating Scrub

A good way of removing dead skin and excess build up on the face while on the road is by buffing and/or exfoliating the skin. This can be done with a men’s face scrub that feature microbeads. Microbeads help scrub and polish skin, thus making your complexion appear younger and clearer. A men’s body scrub can also help deep clean your skin and keep aging signs, acne and other skincare problems at bay. “Exfoliation 101” explains the ins and outs of exfoliationg.

4. Moisturizer

Without sufficient moisture, your skin can develop a dry flaky appearance. This risk increases during a road trip, when the elements can wreak havoc on your skin. Packing a men’s face moisturizer ensures that your skin stays hydrated through your travels. You can benefit from a moisturizer even if you have oily skin; oil and moisture are not the same thing, and you won’t make your oily skin worse by using a men’s moisturizer (unless you use too much). “Men’s Moisturizer Dos and Don’ts” details other rules that should be followed to maximize your lotion’s benefits.

5. Shampoo

Most hotel shampoos will leave your hair looking worse for wear. MenScience Daily Shampoo is specifically formulated for your hair and scalp; it won’t leave your scalp dry and flakey like other mass-market hair products. Hair care is a must on the road, especially during hot summer months when you’ll be sweating more than usual and using protective headgear. Using the right shampoo will help strengthen your hair and maintain its luster.

6. Shaving Gel

If you’re traveling for a big event like a party or wedding, the last thing you want is ingrown hairs and other irritation ruining your complexion. That’s why you need MenScience Advanced Shaving Gel. This foamless shaving formula uses salicylic acid and other dermatologist-recommended ingredients to protect your skin from shaving cuts and other problems. “Tips for the Perfect Shave” lists some tips to help you get the most out of your shaving gel.
