The downside of flying

Mr. “S” much prefers hopping into the car and driving to our destination, while I am one to book a flight and get there quickly. It would be one thing if our drive were leisurely, but he insists on playing this game of HOW CAN WE MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION WITHOUT STOPPING (except for gasoline). Needless to say, I’ve become a frequent flyer. Somehow being in a car for three days just doesn’t compete with getting to New England from Florida in three hours.

While I LOVE sitting back and letting someone else get me there, I don’t like what the cabin pressure does to dry me out. eucerinI’ve learned that I need to DRINK lots of water, sit in an aisle seat (because of all of the water I drink) and make certain to use plenty of Eucerin Everyday Protection Face SPF 30 and Body SPF 15 Lotions on my face and body when I travel. I’ve taken to putting enough in the little 3 oz. bottles so that I can take them ON BOARD (per TSA regulations). That way I reach my destination without dry cracked skin, looking great and hydrated.

I still have two more trips between now and labor day (you can always check where I’m heading on the sidebar calendar) as many of you have. I’m already loaded up with enough Eucerin for home and away and Champagne Living is giving YOU the opportunity to win some for YOUR vacation as well.

The prize pack includes: Eucerin Everyday Protection Face SPF 30 and Body SPF 15 Lotions, Car Sun Shade, Travel Neck Pillow, and Luggage Tags.

  13. While traveling I hydrate my skin by applying a good moisturiser with SPF after my showers. Also, I try to drink as much water as possible during the trip (even if it means more rest stops).

  15. I stay hydrated while traveling by always carrying a water bottle with me. I also like drinking Emergen-C if I’m tired or have been out in the sun.

  16. I stay hydrated with garotade and water – alternating between the 2. It seems to work.

  17. I use Eucerine all the time. It is better for my skin than others I have tried. I take advantave of all sales on Eucerine if they have any. Am on disability but very active and watch for any new Eucerine product. I have yet to find the Q10 cream in the drug stores. It was advertised as the best for fine wrinkles. How can I get it and is it worth trying to get?

  18. When I travel I always stay hydrated. While keeping the skin moisturized on the outside is important, drinking water keeps the entire body hydrated, inside and out!
