If you are planning a sailing holiday this year then one of the things you need to consider is what cosmetics and beauty products to take with you. Obviously you won’t want to take all of your make-up and cosmetics with you when you go on a sailing trip, as they will take up too much room. As well as this, certain types of make-up are more suitable for life on the sea!

Follow these simple make up tips to ensure you stay looking fabulous on your next sailing trip, without packing everything but the kitchen sink!

One of the most important things to consider when you are choosing make up and cosmetics is that, on a sailing trip, your skin will be exposed to the elements a lot more than usual. Sun, wind and sea spray can all dry out skin and leave it feeling weathered or even sore, so use a good moisturiser from Olay to combat this.

Using a lighter moisturiser for the day time and a richer moisturiser at night time is advised so that you can allow your skin to recover while you sleep and avoid it looking overly greasy in the day time. Choose a moisturiser and a foundation with an SPF in them to protect your skin against the elements as you can still suffer skin damage from sun even on cloudy and overcast days.

Choosing a waterproof foundation with an SPF in it means it is likely to stand up better against the elements and keep your skin looking smooth and even, whatever the weather. This is also the case for eye make-up. Choose waterproof mascaras, eye shadows and eye liners that will be less likely to run and smudge in heat, wind and rain, keeping you looking fresh and fabulous throughout the day!
