My skincare routine for flying on an airplane

Airplane cabins have extremely low humidity, sometimes as low as ten percent which is even drier than desert conditions. This causes rapid water loss from your skin so the goal while flying is to protect your barrier.

Airplane cabins have humidity levels around 10–20%, which is drier than most deserts. Your skin loses water rapidly at that altitude, so the goal is barrier support, not 10 steps.

Before flying:

• cleanse

• Apply a L16 vitamin C antioxidant serum (cabin air is high in oxidative stress)

• Seal it with an occlusive moisturizer or balm to prevent transepidermal water loss (summer fridays jet lag mask)

On the plane:

• Hydrosol mist every 2–3 hours

• Reapply moisturizer

• No sheet masks (they evaporate too fast in dry air and pull moisture OUT of your skin)

• Drink water, avoid alcohol!!!!

You land looking alive, not deflated.
