If thereโs anything I dislike about travelling, itโs probably the number cabin air does on my skin ๐ฉ Cabin air is, after all, notoriously dry!
To avoid looking super crusty when I land, I try to tailor my skincare accordingly, I believe half the battle is won with a solid skincare routine before taking off โ these are some of the things I use.

In general, any gentle, hydrating products will be great to battle the arid plane air, but here are some of my other tips when it comes to maintaining good skin during a long ass flight (especially if youโre headed to NYC omg I actually wanted to pass out it was SO LONG ๐ญ๐ญ)

WHEN I SAY I CHUG WATER, I mean it. I used to avoid drinking water bcus I hate going to the toilet on the plane, so now I always choose an aisle seat for easy access to the toilet. Keeping yourself hydrated is super important and also helps your skin.
In terms of keeping skin hydrated, hyaluronic acid is FR your best friend. Apply to damp skin and itโll pull all the water right in and plump skin up nicely. I try to avoid touching up my skincare in-flight bcus 1. GERMSSS 2.
Adding things like HA onto dry skin can make it worse (same with misting your skin โ please avoid it).

I try to avoid heavy moisturisers and creams on the plane because the tendency to clog pores is realโฆalso, mixed with the gross cabin air, it feels greasy and unpleasant on skin.
I love the above oil from Rooki, a local skincare brand. It has a really luxurious texture โ itโs not oily and sinks right into skin. It helps prevent water from escaping and keeps skin really refreshed. Another really great oil to slug with is squalene!

At night, Iโll freshen up by washing my face (I bring my own water to rinse โ airplane water is SUS AF). I use a micellar water to get the dirt and grime off, and then a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to clean my skin. Afterwards, Iโd do a layer of hyaluronic acid onto damp skin and seal it in with a sleeping mask.
Youโll wake up with with super plump skin, even though youโve slept so little (a tip I learnt from a Korean magazine is that the Laneige Sleeping Pack is popular amongst doctors-in-training bcus it makes skin look like they got 8 hours of sleep)

I KNOW, so many people and celebs always talk about the wonders of a sheet mask in-flight, but I find it really gross and rather do it when I get to my hotel after I land.
The same concept applies, leaving the mask till it dries up will sap moisture from your skin and make it look even drier, which is something you want to avoid.
I also just think itโs really messy to use on the plane HAHAHA.

I will always wake up before the sun comes up to slather on a thick layer of sunscreen. Being up in the sky means youโre so, so, so much closer to the sun, which is why sunscreen is clutch.
Besides all these, you have to avoid touching your face! I always bring hand sanitiser with me if the need arises.

While I love layering skincare products, skip the actives! It could aggravate your skin further :-(
Hope this helps and let me know if you want more deets on a specific product! โบ๏ธ
