It’s no secret that air travel wreaks havoc with our skin!
Normal skin loves a humidity level between 30-60 percent. Most air cabins are less than 20 percent humidity. So it’s no wonder we feel like dried up prunes by the time we step off the aircraft!
The solution!
This week we sat down with skincare brand La Roche-Posay to get the 411 on how to stop skin dryness and dehydration when flying.
So without further ado, meet your new travel beauty weapons! (All under 100mls and perfect for carry on).
How to use these little miracle workers.
1. The night before flying
Boost your skin’s hydration pre-flight with Toleriane Ultra Overnight. This product is inspired by Asian Beauty Masks and works its magic gradually throughout the night – so you wake up looking refreshed and ready to start the day! The perfect pre-flight skin prep.
2. The day of flying
Get as much moisture into your skin as you can before stepping on that plane. This super comfortable Toleriane Ultra Minimalist Daily Moisturiser works a treat for intense hydration and long-lasting comfort. Use all over face and neck.
Don’t forget the sunscreen!
You may not be on the sun-lounge YET, but you MUST still wear sunscreen! Every day. Especially if you have a window seat. Try this Anthelios XL SPF 50+ BB Tinted Comfort Cream (for normal to dry skin types). Decidedly comfy and with just enough coverage if you’re going make-up free.
A word on make-up.
If you can avoid it, please do! Adding foundation and powders to your skin just increases the chance of clogged pores and resulting pimples/blackheads. There is enough pollution in the cabin air without adding more aggravation to your skin.
3. During the flight
Yes your hands (and cuticles!) will dry out too. Keep this Cicaplast Mains – Repairing Barrier Hand Cream in your carry on. I have tried countless hand creams and this one is truly unique. It’s almost like a wax texture that gives your skin a silky-soft coating – like the thinnest pair of gloves you could imagine. Plus, it will last up to five washes too – pretty cool huh!
Same goes for the Cicaplast Lips – Repairing Lip Barrier Balm and it’s perfect for your little ones kissers too! Wear it under lippy or au naturale.
The demigod of skincare!
Yes I have spoken about this product before, but listen up again… this Thermal Spring Water mist is like giving your face a mini-facial every time you use it. It has tonnes of minerals and trace elements which penetrate to give your skin a seriously intense SOOTHE!
This is a travel must-must-have! Use it as an after-sun reliever too – especially if the children get sun burned. (50ml/300ml sizes available)
