Beauty tips from a life on the road: Young women who travel the world for a living share the skincare products they swear by - and the one thing they have in common
- Marie Fe, 28, travels around the world with her fiancé Jake Snow for eight months of every year
- In that time Marie has come to learn that her plant-based diet and an app called 'codecheck' are invaluable
- Australian 'van lifer' Elise Cook similarly follows an all natural regime to compliment her constant travel
- She and her husband Domenic Palumbo have been touring around Australia in a VW kombi for years now
Those of us who have travelled in a plane or on long journeys in a car know the struggle of keeping your skin hydrated and blemish-free - and that's just when we go on a quick two week holiday.
But when travelling is your job it becomes even more difficult to create a beauty routine that will be effective in different climates and countries.
Marie Fe and Elise Cook are two women living the 'dream life' - travelling constantly and sharing envy-inducing photos on social media - but they've worked hard to make sure their skincare works as hard as they do.

'Travelling for eight months a year can be exhausting at times, especially for my skin,' Marie, 28, told FEMAIL
'Travelling for eight months a year can be exhausting at times, especially for my skin,' Marie, 28, told FEMAIL.
The German-born beauty has been country hopping with her fiancé Jake Snow, who is Australian, for three years. They share their incredible journey on Instagram.
'From the moment I met Jake on a beach in Thailand almost three years ago I have been on the road ever since, never stopping for more than three months at a time,' she explained.
'We have visited 30 countries together in almost the same amount of months, travelling on buses, planes, tuk-tuks and ferries. We've slept in airports, tents, hostels, campervans, villas and under the stars. With all of the crazy twists and turns this lifestyle throws at me, it is my skin that tells me if I'm looking after myself properly or not.'

Marie maintains a healthy, meat-free diet to combat any skin woes she might encounter while touring
Marie maintains a healthy, meat-free diet to combat any skin woes she might encounter while touring.
'For two years now I have been following a whole plant-based diet. This is the absolute main reason I am able to stay in shape, look vibrate and keep my skin clear while travelling,' she said.
'A whole plant-based diet is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which are all vital in keeping our skin healthy and glowing. I try to eat as much fruit as possible concentrating on getting enough berries in each day.

While she doesn't over-complicate her skincare routine, there are a few products she swears by - particularly when, after coming off birth control, she found her hormones were 'all over the place'

In general Marie won't eat airport food - instead choosing to bring her own nuts, fruit and snacks - and use tea tree oil on any small blemishes that might appear
'On the days where I notice my skin isn't quite as clear and bright as usual, I can almost guarantee that I haven't drank enough water. This is my biggest weakness and something I need to try to remember more every day. So drink more water, five big cups a day is what I aim for.'
While she doesn't over-complicate her skincare routine, there are a few products she swears by - particularly when, after coming off birth control, she found her hormones were 'all over the place'.
'Just quickly before I get into which products I use, I want to share an awesome tip that I've learnt just recently. I found an app called "codecheck" which I use to scan the barcodes of all the skin care products I buy. This app will tell you exactly what ingredients are in the products and whether or not they are harmful to your health and skin. In my opinion the products that are the most natural are always the best,' she said.
'I really love the brand HelloBody, all their products are completely natural and there brand has a great environmentally conscious ethos. I use these products daily for photo shoots and to keep my skin looking healthy and hydrated through all the flights, airports and travel in general.'
She'll use the Coco Fresh Face Cleansing Foam morning and night to cleanse her skin, the Coco Daily Face Lotion in the morning before putting on her makeup, the Coco Soft Detox Night Lotion after she cleans her face before bed and the Coco Body Butter when she gets out of a shower.

This natural approach to health is something Elise Cook (pictured), who lives in Australia, also follows religiously


In a recent blog post on her website 'Down The Rabbit Hole' , the stunning blonde said she'd been using natural and organic products for the past 18 months alongside her husband Domenic Palumbo to keep her skin in check

'For a long while, Dom and I have been very conscious of what we are putting into our bodies. It started for us when Dom discovered he was intolerant to wheat, with particularly bad reactions to highly processed wheat,' she said.

Driving around Australia in their VW Kombi named Scout, the couple now swear by brands like Remedy Skin, Meeamo, Edible Beauty and Akhal to clean and wash their face
'That led us down a path of learning so much about what we are putting into our bodies, and about why organic produce really is worth investing into.'

Elise uses makeup products from Inika and Eye of Horus if she's wanting to dress up, as well as sunscreen every day.

The pair eat in-season fruits and vegetables they pick up along the road, add collagen powders to their water and ensure they're getting a healthy dose of pre- and probiotics

Just like Marie, Elise also believes in the power of Vitamin D and - while she's cautious of the sun - argues that we need to maintain a healthy relationship with being outdoors as well.
