What’s the best routine for your skin while in an airplane?
The night before
Wash with your normal cleanser and exfoliate with an enzyme mask. Apply a balancing clay mask or a hydrating gel mask depending on your skin type.
Drink a lot of water.
The day of
Layer a hydrating serum under your moisturizer on clean skin before the flight. Skip the foundation and concealer, apply a light layer of tinted moisturizer if you need some coverage.
Drink a lot of water.
During the flight
For flights 5 hours or under, reapply your moisturizer at least once (wash your hands first!). Continue to drink water and skip the alcohol.
For flights over 5 hours, clean your skin with a cotton ball and toner mid-flight then reapply your hydrating serum and moisturizer. Drink more water.
After the flight
Repeat the enzyme mask + hydrating or balancing mask routine and continuing using the hydrating serum under your moisturizer.
Always pack travel sizes of your regular products when traveling. A foreign climate is not the time to introduce a new product to your routine.
And have a glass of water!
