What toll does travel take on my skin?
What toll does travel take on my skin?
September 2009
Zero humidity, recycled air, chemicals galore and fluctuating temperatures. You're strapped to your seat with your knees somewhere near your ears. Sound like in-flight fun to you?
Think about what it's doing to skin: the unnatural pressurized environment of a plane sucks moisture out of skin, leaving you dehydrated with cracked lips and hands that are super dry. The lack of moving space also means fluid retention in the ankles, stiff joints and puffy eyes and hands.
Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser:
Tiny bathrooms and water need not apply! Stay in your seat with this gel/cream cleanser that requires only a tissue for removal (and a little elbow room).
GloMinerals gloMoist Hydration Mist:
Stuff this in your pocket and spritz over skin for a little in-flight oasis that hydrates, refreshes and revives. (Careful not to mist your neighbor...)
Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster:
This pint-sized product contains Hyaluronic Acid to help smooth fine lines and quench dry spots. Use around the eyes to brighten up before landing.
MD Skincare Maximum Moisture Treatment: This 1 oz. wonder will restore skin's optimal moisture balance while preventing further moisture loss.
Bioelements Instant Emollient:
This therapeutic balm was practically created for temperature extremes experienced by travelers: swipe over the lips, eyes, nostrils, cheekbones, cuticles - any place where skin is thinner or more prone to dehydration.
TRUE Restoring Hand Cream:
Apply before, during and after your flight for smooth, hydrated hands AND enjoy the age-defying benefits of Palmitoyle Tetrapeptide-7!.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Powder SPF 30:
Perfect for men, women and children, this SPF 30 powerhouse delivers instant protection for face and body every day, on the beach, during hikes and beyond!
Don't forget a little water goes along way. Save the alcohol for your vacation destination, and opt instead for water in-flight.
