Travel is all about adventure, discovery, and making memories but it can also be tough on your beauty routine. For many Gold Coast locals and globetrotters, keeping lashes and brows looking flawless while on the go is a must. Whether you’re jet-setting for business, backpacking through Europe, or road-tripping down the coast, a little planning can ensure your eyes remain your best feature. Here’s your ultimate guide to lash and brow care for travel enthusiasts, with expert advice from The Lash Spa.
Why Lash and Brow Care Matters When Travelling
Your eyes are the centrepiece of your face, and well-groomed brows and lush lashes can make you look instantly polished, even after a long flight or a day of sightseeing. However, travel exposes you to dry airplane cabins, changing climates, and busy schedules, all of which can leave brows unruly and lashes brittle or sparse. With the right preparation and products, you can wake up ready for adventure every day, no mascara, brow pencil or filter needed.
Pre-Trip Prep: Set Yourself Up for Success
1. Book a Professional Lash and Brow Appointment
Before you head off, treat yourself to a visit at The Lash Spa. A fresh set of lash extensions or a brow sculpting session can make all the difference when you’re travelling. Lash extensions mean you can skip mascara and still look wide awake, while brow sculpting ensures your brows keep their shape, even after long-haul flights or days in the sun.
For brows that last, try Gold Coast brows at The Lash Spa. Our expert stylists tailor each treatment to your face shape and travel plans, ensuring your brows look perfect from take-off to touchdown.
2. Choose Low-Maintenance Styles
Opt for lash and brow treatments designed to last. Classic or hybrid lash extensions are ideal for travellers, they’re lightweight, natural-looking, and require minimal upkeep. For brows, consider a tint or lamination for definition that won’t fade, even after a swim or workout. These treatments save you time each morning and help you look put-together in every travel photo.
3. Pack the Essentials
- Spoolie Brush: Perfect for brushing out lashes and taming brows on the go.
- Lash Cleanser: An oil-free cleanser keeps lashes clean and helps extensions last.
- Brow Gel or Serum: Keeps brows hydrated and in place, especially in dry or humid climates.
- Mini Scissors or Tweezers: For quick touch-ups between appointments.
On the Road: Daily Lash and Brow Care Tips
1. Keep Them Clean
Travelling exposes your skin and hair to new environments, which can lead to build-up around your lashes and brows. Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser to keep the area clean and prevent irritation or infection. Clean lashes last longer and look fresher, while clean brows stay healthy and neat.
2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Air travel and changing climates can dry out your skin and hair—including your lashes and brows. Pack a nourishing serum or conditioning gel to keep them soft and healthy. Hydrated brows and lashes are less likely to break or fall out, ensuring your look lasts the entire trip.
3. Avoid Touching or Rubbing
It’s tempting to rub your eyes when you’re tired, but this can cause lash extensions to shed and brows to lose their shape. Be gentle when cleansing and avoid tugging at your lashes or brows. If you need to refresh, use a spoolie to gently brush and separate lashes and brows.
4. Protect from Sun and Water
If you’re spending time outdoors, protect your brows and lashes from harsh sun and saltwater. Wear sunglasses, and if you’ve had a brow tint, apply a little SPF to the brow area to prevent fading. After swimming, gently pat your face dry and brush your brows and lashes back into place.
Long-Haul Flight Hacks
- Bring a Silk Sleep Mask: It’s gentle on your lashes and helps you arrive looking fresh.
- Skip Oil-Based Products: Oils can break down lash adhesive and cause extensions to fall out faster.
- Hydrating Mist: A quick spritz can refresh your face and keep your brows and lashes feeling comfortable.
