How to Care for Your Skin When Flying

June 10, 2022

Just like your body may feel weary after a long flight, so could your skin: low humidity, dry cabins, and recycled air wreak havoc on your skin. These factors cause dehydration and increase oil production which, in turn, can cause breakouts and clogged pores.

skincare tips when flying

Here are a few steps to help you take care of your skin before and after a flight…

Wash your face thoroughly

One of most important routines is washing your face thoroughly before sleeping and after waking up, this is evermore so true after being on a flight for several hours. Once you get off the flight, make sure to wash your face to remove all impurities, oil and dirt, thus preventing breakouts.

Hydrate

Keeping your skin extra moisturized is very important before getting on a plane. So make sure to apply a nourishing face cream to your skin and, if you feel your skin is dry during the flight, reapply it. Make sure to choose a cream that is nourishing but not heavy, like the Blue Lagoon mineral moisturizing cream for example. For a little extra boost and radiance, apply a serum over it, like Vitamin C.

Hydrate from the inside out

Since flying causes dehydration, you must drink lots of water before and after the flight. Hydrating your body also includes watching what you eat before the flight, up your intake of fruits and vegetables that help hydrate the skin. Also, do not forget to eat carbs, these will help you sleep during the flight and a relaxed flight will be good for your skin.

Apply under-eye patches to de-puff your eye area

Your diet may be compromising your under-eye area, so it is recommended that you use eye patches to reduce puffiness and dark circles. It also helps to brighten your eye area because of the cooling texture of the eye patches.

If you can go to a steam room

The steam room helps you breathe easier and more deeply, and it also helps the skin by opening up the pores and eliminating toxins. Steam rooms should be a post-flight ritual because it helps improve your skin’s appearance and lowers blood pressure. Once the blood vessels are dilated and start pumping more blood into your body, your skin glows due to this effect.

Massage your skin

Massage your skin with a jade roller before sleeping to improve blood circulation in your skin. The lymphatic system detoxifies your skin because a massage boosts blood circulation below the skin’s surface. After the massage, apply a face oil.

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.

Visit the @coldwatercreek website for all of their new Fall styles.
