Whether you’re lounging on a beach or walking the streets of some
quaint European village this summer, you’re bound to have to endure at
least one long-haul flight to get there. Apart from boredom, irritation
and restlessness, one of the most dreaded side-effects of travel is the
effect it has on our skin. Dry, dull and dehydrated skin is not the best
way to start any vacation- nor the ideal way to get back to the daily
grind- and it takes some planning and discipline to avoid it. Here are
some of the best tips to keep your precious skin safe from the
ill-effects of air travel this vacation season.
Hydrate & Moisturize:
You’ve definitely heard this one before- drinking copious amounts of
water during flights is a surefire way to avoid dry skin and dandruff.
However, that also means having to get off your seat and join the queue
outside the toilets, some of which are not always in the best condition.
An alternative method to hydrate is to use a moisturizer- the creamier
the better- and a hydrating mist that you can apply onto your skin at
regular intervals. This will keep dry and flakey skin at bay while
leaving you feeling fresh as ever.
Hydraulic acid is another way to give your skin a boost of hydration.
My favorite is the Hyaluronic Ampoules from Dr. Barbara Sturm that are
compact and can be applied before take-off for maximum benefit. A lip
balm is also a must to keep your lips from cracking.
Avoid Makeup
While it’s tempting to apply your regular concealer or swipe off
lipstick, it might be better to take a break from makeup while flying.
Air travel is already dehydrating for your skin, and adding a layer of
makeup can worsen the effects and create the perfect base for breakouts.
A better option may be to apply makeup immediately before landing to
look presentable when you step out. If you do insist on wearing makeup
in-flight, however, make sure not to use a heavy foundation and opt for
mineral based products that won’t clog your pores.
Don’t Skip Your Sunscreen
It’s bad enough not using ample SPF while you’re on the ground, but
it’s even worse when you’re high up in the air and much closer to the
sun. Opt for a sunscreen that has an SPF of 50 or more and apply it
every two hours whilst traveling.
Use A Mask
Turn your long flight into a spa session with a simple mask and a
good movie! This effective, compact and easy to throw away method will
keep your skin fresh throughout your flight. If you’re uncomfortable
slapping on a mask while sitting next to a complete stranger, there are
lots of discreet options available on the market that go on transparent
and can be left on as a moisturizer. I like to use a Facial Ritual jade
or rose quartz roller over the mask to drain any puffiness or fluid
buildup. Applying your mask about an hour before landing will ensure a
gorgeous glow as soon as your step off!
Avoid In-Flight Food And Alcohol
As tempting as it may be to take a sip of wine during a flight, the
dehydrating effects of alcohol will only serve to worsen the dryness in
your skin. And when it comes to food, airplane meals often contain a
high concentration of salt to counteract the drop in our taste buds at
such a high altitude. This causes our bodies to retain more water,
making us look bloated and puffy. To keep this at a minimum, opt for
bland foods and swap your alcohol for water and herbal tea to keep you
refreshed. Or, better yet, carry your own food packs to enjoy during the
journey.
Use The Right Products
Protecting your skin is not about investing in products but investing
in the right ones. When it comes to travel, my go-to brand is
Biologique Recherche (also available at The White Door Spa in Bandra and Spa in Worli),
because of their travel-friendly sizes. My favorites include the Lait
VIP O2, an “anti pollution” cleanser that removes toxins, and the Lotion
P50, a wonder-product that exfoliates, brightens and hydrates the skin.
Get Your Beauty Sleep
They call is beauty sleep for a reason! A long, peaceful snooze will
ensure your body is well rested, thus making sure your skin does not
look tired or exhausted when you land. Carrying a Dame Essentials silk
pillowcase and eye mask helps retain the natural moisture in your skin
and hair while giving you a comfortable and luxurious sleep. Another
trick I like is to use compression socks for maximum comfort and to
maintain proper blood flow.
