Travelling After Lip Blush: What You Need to Know
Planning a holiday or business trip soon after your lip blush appointment? ✈️
Here at Natural Lip Blush London, I get asked this all the time:
“Can I travel right after my lip blush session?”
“Is it okay to fly during healing?”
The short answer: Yes, but with a few smart precautions.
Here’s everything you need to know to keep your lips safe, healthy, and gorgeous while you travel.
🛫 Can You Fly After Lip Blushing?
Technically, yes — you can fly within hours of your appointment. However, I recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours, if possible.
Why?
Cabin air is very dry — this can slow down the healing process
You’ll need to reapply aftercare balm more often
Travelling can expose you to germs, changes in climate, and inconsistent hygiene
If flying is unavoidable, pack a small aftercare kit (I’ll help you prep this in the studio) and keep your lips hydrated constantly.
☀️ Traveling to a Sunny Destination? SPF Is Non-Negotiable
Sun exposure is one of the biggest risks to fresh lip blush:
It can alter the colour while healing
It can fade your pigment prematurely
It increases the risk of cold sore flare-ups
💡 Bring a high-SPF lip balm (minimum SPF 30), and reapply every 2–3 hours if you’re outdoors.
🧴 What to Pack in Your Lip Blush Travel Kit
Healing balm (the one I give you)
SPF lip balm
Sterile cotton buds (for clean applications)
A reusable straw (if you’re eating or drinking in public)
Hand sanitiser (for applying balm hygienically)
Bonus: Bring a scarf or mask if flying — the cabin air won’t hit your lips directly, and you’ll reduce contact with bacteria.
💦 Tropical Climate? Here's What to Watch
Humidity + sweat can increase the risk of:
Infection (especially if you’re touching your lips a lot)
Uneven healing if lips are constantly moist or wiped
Tip: Keep your lips clean and dry as much as possible, and don’t skip your aftercare balm — it creates a protective barrier.
⛔️ What to Avoid While Travelling
Swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms
Direct sunbathing
Heavy spicy or salty foods
Sharing drinks, glasses, or lip products
Touching or peeling your lips (even if tempted!)
