How to Save Your Skin After Coming Off a Flight

If you’re taking a red eye or early morning flight and plan to sleep, thanks to Murphy’s Law you’ll be seated next to a crying baby. Since your eyes are the biggest giveaway of how tired you really are, treat the area with detoxifying eye patches that minimize puffiness and dark circles.

The key to keeping skin hydrated and having a relaxing flight is a moisturizing face mask. Not a fan of in-flight masking? Pop one on once you get to your destination.

If you can’t bring yourself to apply a pull face of products mid-flight, a refreshing, moisturizing mist will do the trick. Even better: You can easily freshen up with another spritz as you wait for your luggage at the baggage carousel.

Stress from making it to the gate on time to board can show up on your skin, too. Since the only thing worse than dry, flaky skin is red dehydrated skin, calm irritation by applying this repairing serum allover. 

Your lips need some post-flight TLC, too. Keep them soft and smooth from when you’re in the Uber to the airport to well after you’re back on land.

As if sucking all of the moisture out of your skin isn’t enough to deal with after a flight, the stale cabin air can also bring on breakouts. Before hitting the lights after you’re settled at your destination, dab on this potent, but gentle spot treatment powered by sulfur on blemishes to zap them overnight.

There’s nothing like a serum to quickly overall your complexion. This blend of 20 plant and botanical oils quickly absorbs into skin so you look fresh and dewy—and not like you just spent most of the day at an airport.

When you’re partaking in your nighttime skincare routine after your flight, make sure you include an exfoliator to slough away dead, dry skin.  Pai’s formula is mild so that it won’t aggravate temperamental complexions, but still will get the job done.
