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.

Last week, the Cancer Hope Network brought the com Last week, the Cancer Hope Network brought the community together in Morristown, NJ for an incredible day of golf and pickleball.

Their fundraising tournaments were filled with hope, connection, and support for those facing cancer by providing free, one-on-one support to cancer patients and their loved ones. 💙 

Are you or someone you know is facing a cancer diagnosis? You can learn more about this amazing organization or donate, by visiting cancerhopenetwork.org today!

Cancer Hope Network provides free, confidential, one-on-one emotional support to people impacted by cancer — including patients, survivors, and their loved ones.

Here’s how they do it:

* 💬 Peer Support: They match individuals facing cancer with trained volunteer support mentors who are cancer survivors or caregivers themselves. These mentors offer guidance, hope, and understanding from someone who’s “been there.”
* 🤝 Personalized Matching: Matches are based on factors like diagnosis, treatment type, age, gender, and personal concerns — ensuring relatable and meaningful connections.
* 💙 Support for Everyone: They offer support not just for patients, but also for caregivers, family members, and friends who are navigating a loved one’s cancer journey.
* 💯 Always Free & Confidential: Services are available at no cost, nationwide, regardless of insurance or treatment center affiliation.

Cancer Hope Network’s mission is simple but powerful: “No one should face cancer alone.”
