4 Ways to Prepare Your Skin for a Day of Air Travel

ByAndalou Naturals

While life may be about the journey, not the destination, air travel doesn’t always feel that way. Even if you love the breathtaking views and excitement of flying on a plane, your skin may not be a fan of the sudden change in elevation, UV exposure, or dry air. Fortunately, with the proper preparation, you can keep your skin happy, dewy, and radiant—even after a long flight!

To feel fresh as soon as you deboard the plane, prepare with these four skincare tips.

Stay Cool and Covered

Although it feels like you spend the whole day inside while traveling, harmful UVA and UVB rays are far more powerful at over 30,000 feet in the air! Even through an airplane window, your skin is still at risk for sun damage, so apply a healthy layer of broad-spectrum SPF before takeoff.

Save space in your carry-on bag with an SPF formula that protects and nourishes your skin. A lightweight, mineral sunscreen infused with willow bark can soothe and purify pores—perfect for an airplane’s drying and potentially germy environment. A formula with ectoin, a natural stress protection molecule found in some clear skin products and sunscreens, can reduce the effects of environmental stressors like blue light and pollution. Say hello to in-flight movies and goodbye to breakouts!

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Airplanes are notoriously low in humidity, which can cause the air to draw moisture out of your skin. To avoid arriving at your destination with dry skin or chapped lips, drink plenty of water and electrolytes before your flight.

Keep your complexion radiant and supple by layering hydrating facial oil underneath your nourishing SPF lotion and reapplying throughout the flight. Use body butters infused with shea and cocoa butter to keep your skin hydrated throughout a long flight. They can condition and soften tough skin while creating a barrier against moisture loss.

Avoid Inflammatory Snacks

As tempting as it may be to snag a sugary beverage and salty in-flight snack, your skin will thank you for sticking to water and avoiding excess sodium. Alcohol and sugar can dehydrate your body even further, while sodium can contribute to puffy, dull skin.

Avoid reaching for peanuts and pretzels by eating a nourishing protein and fiber-rich meal before you board and packing skin-loving snacks in your carry-on.

Pack Natural Products

As luxurious as it would be to pack every step of your skincare routine into your carry-on bag, you likely have to make a few sacrifices when choosing which products to bring with you. Since your skin may be more temperamental following a long flight, opt for products with soothing ingredients, such as elastin and collagen, that help support your skin’s natural building blocks.

To make the most of your limited bag space, pack a few reliable skincare essentials that deliver visible results and contain potent natural ingredients, like a deep wrinkle filler infused with bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative.

Preparing for air travel with these four skincare tips can help you arrive at your destination looking well-rested and radiant.
