Sommer’s Post-Travel Jet Lag Facial with Sole Toscana

After a trip to Italy, our ambassador Sommer shared her go-to “Jet Lag Facial” using Sole Toscana products, and we couldn’t be more inspired! We’re so grateful she discovered Sole Toscana this year and has integrated our products into her routine; you can view her full story and review of Sole Toscana products.

Travel can take a toll on our skin, with dry cabin air, climate changes, and irregular sleep disrupting its natural balance. This often results in dehydration, puffiness, and dullness—especially noticeable on mature skin.

Sommer’s post-travel routine brings hydration, relief, and radiance back to your complexion.

Continue below to be inspired on how to recreate a similar facial with our 4-Step Skincare Set, clay mask, and face oil.

Step 2: Detox and Hydrate Deeply with a Clay Mask

Long flights can leave skin feeling off ~ tight, dehydrated, extra oils, clogged pores, etc. This makes a detoxing and deeply hydrating mask an essential post-travel.

Apply a slightly thicker layer of Sole Toscana's hydrating clay mask and leave it on for 10–15 minutes to give the hydrating botanicals more time to penetrate. This will help soothe dryness and create a moisture base for the rest of your skincare. For an extra cooling effect, keep the mask in the fridge prior to use; the chill helps calm inflammation and puffiness.

Step 3: Rehydrate and Smooth with Serum and Guasha

Incorporate a guasha tool, or simply use your fingers, to massage areas of puffiness and tension while applying Neroli Radiance Serum.This helps deliver a deep penetration of healthy nutrients to your tired skin.

This method of application promotes lymphatic drainage to combat puffiness and encourages circulation for a more vibrant complexion, especially after being sedentary for long hours. Consider using the method again when applying the face cream and oil in step 5.

Step 5: Lock in Moisture with a Richer Layer of Face Cream and Skin Oil

The final step is all about sealing in the moisture to restore balance to travel-affected skin. Blend a drop or two of Face Oil with your Face Cream to create a richer layer than you might use daily. This combination helps prevent overnight moisture loss and provides an extended hydration boost, leaving skin supple and soft the next morning.

Inspired by Sommer’s approach, this post-travel facial uses our organic, nourishing products to bring back the skin’s natural radiance after any journey. Try it after or during your next trip—or anytime your skin needs a little extra care and hydration!
