Travel is back with record numbers of people flying again, but that\u2019s not all good news. It means expensive plane tickets, crowded flights, and sold-out hotels. And so all of the trips you\u2019ve been planning in your head for the last couple of years may continue to feel a little out of reach. Maybe you\u2019re staying stateside this summer, or you\u2019re opting for a staycation until travel costs cool off. While it may not be\u00a0quite<\/em>\u00a0as satisfying as a trip five thousand miles away, what if you could get your travel fix by simply changing up your skincare routine?<\/p>\n We\u2019ve highlighted five products and product families we love, all containing ingredients primarily associated with a specific region of the world. Wash your face, splash on a serum or apply a mask and feel transported (if only for 20 minutes). Hey, it\u2019s cheaper than a plane ticket!<\/p>\n Maybe you\u2019ve seen pics of the Dead Sea on Instagram (you\u2019d know it by whoever is in the post floating in a big body of water). Not only is the salt lake that borders Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank the lowest land-based elevation in the world, but it\u2019s also one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth (hence the name, Dead Sea – it\u2019s too salty for anything to live in it). Dead Sea salt has been extracted for beauty products for decades. Not only does it contain great minerals like magnesium, calcium, sulfur (duh), zinc, and potassium, it makes for a great exfoliant. Products containing Dead Sea salt are great for treating everything from acne and eczema to dry skin. Check out Amazon, Etsy, and other sites with\u00a0plenty of options for Dead Sea scrubs<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve talked about guava before when covering\u00a0herb and fruit-infused water<\/a>, and for good reason: with five times as much vitamin C as an orange, Guava is a super fruit. The tropical fruit is native to Mexico and Central America, and beyond being delicious, guava leaves are packed full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories; the many acids in the leaves have excellent antimicrobial properties. You can actually pick up some fresh guava,\u00a0make the leaves into a paste and use it as a mask<\/a>.<\/p>\n OK, so licorice extract is a little confusing. Licorice (the candy) is most popular in the UK and known for its distinct (and polarizing) flavor. That said, licorice is mostly flavored with anise and the licorice plant is pretty different botanically. The licorice plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra if you\u2019re getting scientific, is popular in herbalism and traditional medicine for \u201charmonizing\u201d various ingredients in a formula. In skincare, it\u2019s thought to be soothing and help with uneven skin tone. It\u2019s perfect for balancing out (or harmonizing) a harsher ingredient like retinol, as in\u00a0LaserAway Beauty My Hero Retinol Repair Night Serum<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you follow beauty TikTok, you probably have seen a beauty influencer lather on a strikingly yellow mask and rave about its anti-inflammatory and acne-clearing properties. You may have also seen a TikTok or YouTube video that\u2019s more horror story than beauty tip: where someone goes too heavy on the turmeric in those yellow masks and stains their countertop, sink, or worse\u2014their skin. Turmeric is a pepper-like spice that\u2019s native to India and is best known for its yellow-orange color. It\u2019s a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflam so it\u2019s great for helping control breakouts and reducing hyperpigmentation over time. It\u2019s also easy to find at your local grocery store and cheap! There are countless turmeric mask recipes online that you can make for less than $20, like this\u00a0turmeric, yogurt, and honey mask<\/a>.<\/p>\n The benefits of drinking tea \u2014 whether it\u2019s green tea, black tea, or matcha \u2014 have been well documented, but did you know it also makes for a powerful ingredient in skincare products? White tea is typically characterized by lighter tea leaves because the leaves are younger or minimally processed. It\u2019s primarily harvested in China (where there are many beautiful shops containing hundreds of types of teas). Drinking tea is great for you because it contains powerful antioxidants and that\u2019s the same reason it\u2019s found in hydrating and regenerating skin care products. Take the\u00a0LaserAway Beauty Jetsetter Hydroserum Facial Mask<\/a>, which contains MANY soothing plant extracts and powerful antioxidants, including Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (a fancy, scientific term for, you guessed it, white tea).<\/p>\n1. Dead sea salt (Jordan, Israel, and West Bank)<\/h2>\n
