Skin Care During Airplane Travel

Skin Care During Airplane Travel

Taking care of your skin during airplane travel is important, as the dry air, recycled cabin air, and changes in cabin pressure can leave your skin feeling dehydrated and dull. Here are some skincare tips to keep your skin happy and healthy while flying:

1. Hydrate from the Inside Out:
Start hydrating your skin from within by drinking plenty of water before and during your flight. Staying hydrated helps to combat the dryness in the cabin and maintain your skin's moisture levels.  Try to avoid alcohol, and caffeine, as both are dehydrating. Electrolytes play a crucial role in maintaining proper hydration and bodily functions. During airplane travel, especially on long-haul flights, it's easy to become dehydrated due to the low humidity and cabin pressure. Replenishing electrolytes can help keep your body balanced and alleviate some of the fatigue and discomfort associated with air travel. I always take my Age Quencher electrolytes and Trumarine Collagen in a water bottle to improve hydration on a plane.

2. Cleanse and Moisturize:
Before your flight, cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or makeup. Follow with a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Opt for a hydrating moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin to lock in moisture. Usually for a long flight I will use a more hydrating moisturizer like Recovery Balm or HydraRich by AlumierMD.

3. Avoid Heavy Makeup:
During the flight, it's best to let your skin breathe and minimize the use of heavy makeup. Instead, opt for a tinted moisturizer or just a tinted physical sunscreen.  Remember to remove any makeup before sleeping on long-haul flights to prevent clogged pores.

4. Use a Hydrating Mist:
Keep a travel-sized facial mist in your bag and spritz it on your face throughout the flight to refresh and hydrate your skin. Look for mists that contain hydrating ingredients like rose water, aloe vera, or cucumber.  I love the one by Jane Iredale.

5. Apply a Moisturizing Lip Balm:
The dry air in the cabin can also cause your lips to become dry and chapped. Apply a nourishing lip balm with ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil to keep your lips hydrated and protected throughout the flight.  I have Olive Baby lip-saver in everyone's carry-on luggage or backpack!

6. Use an Overnight Mask:
On long-haul flights or overnight journeys, consider using an overnight mask or a hydrating sheet mask to provide intense hydration to your skin. Look for masks that contain nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or vitamin E like AlumierMD's Aqua Infusion Mask.

8. Avoid Touching Your Face:
Avoid touching your face frequently, as your hands can carry bacteria and dirt that can lead to breakouts or skin irritation. If you do touch your face, make sure to wash or sanitize your hands first.

Remember, everyone's skin is different, so it's essential to consider your individual needs and skincare preferences. These tips should help to keep your skin hydrated and refreshed during airplane travel.
