Skincare is important on a cruise because the combination of intense sun exposure, salty sea air, and recycled air conditioning on the ship can significantly dry out and damage your skin, making proper cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection crucial to maintain a healthy complexion while on vacation.

DEHYDRATION: Sea air can draw moisture from your skin, leading to dryness and flakiness, requiring proper hydration with moisturizers. Moving between the hot sun on deck and air-conditioned indoor spaces can further stress your skin. Use a hydrating facial mist or moisturizer regularly to combat dryness caused by the sea air.

Hair care is important on a cruise because the combination of sun exposure, saltwater, humidity, and often desalinated water on the ship can significantly damage and dry out your hair, leading to frizz, tangles, and a lackluster appearance, making it crucial to use appropriate products and styling techniques to protect your locks while on vacation; essentially, the harsh environment at sea requires extra attention to maintain healthy hair.

What to do to manage hair on a cruise:
HUMIDITY: Tropical climates often experienced on cruises can lead to excessive frizz due to humidity levels. Look for shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that combat frizz and protect hair from the elements.
SALTWATER EXPOSURE: Swimming in the ocean exposes your hair to salt which can dry it out and cause frizz if not properly rinsed and treated afterwards. Use fresh water to rinse out saltwater from your hair after swimming in the ocean.
DESALINATED WATER: The water on cruise ships is usually desalinated, which can strip natural oils from your hair, leaving it dry and frizzy. Apply a moisturizing product such as leave-in conditioner or hair mask to protect your hair from drying out.
SUN DAMAGE: Direct sunlight can bleach your hair and further damage the hair shaft, especially when combined with saltwater. Protect your hair from the sun by covering it with a hat or scarf when spending time outdoors.
CONSIDER A PRE-CRUISE TRIM: Get a haircut before your cruise to remove split ends that can worsen with sun and salt exposure.
