It is inevitable that when you travel your skin will decide to go haywire. With the dry air in the plane, foreign foods and jet lag this combination of environmental attacks is a lot for your skin to take. To feel and look your best while you are away (hello Instagram worthy vacation photos!) I have some simple tips to prepare and maintain your skin’s balance.
- Stay Hydrated – “Typically, skin is comfortable when the humidity is between 40 to 70 percent,” says Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, a clinical instructor in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “Most airplane cabins are at about 20 percent. That’s less than half of what we are used to,” she says. (Allure 2016). My favorite product to combat dry airplane air is a non-scented moisturizer or a facial mister stashed in my carry-on. When the cabin lights dim, it’s not uncommon to see fellow passengers applying facial masks and products to keep their skin feeling great.
