Andrea's Travelling Tips For Surviving A Long Haul Flight
Long haul flights will probably leave you dehydrated, tired and a little worse for wear, so here are my in-flight skincare essentials...
I would advise strongly to avoid wearing make-up during your flight or to remove your make-up during take-off and re-apply just before landing.
Or if you really cannot go without make-up, use Oxygenetix foundation as it contains a super-charged oxygen complex.
I would recommend using TEOXANE RHA Micellar solution to remove your make-up.
- A 3-in-1 micellar water, suitable for even the most sensitive skin, to effectively remove makeup and impurities
- The formula contains resilient hyaluronic acid and is infused with rosewater to offer maximum hydration, while soothing and calming the skin
- No rinsing is required
During your flight your skin will get little oxygen, so keep your skin hydrated by wearing a sheet face or eye mask.
One of my favourite eye masks is the Hydropeptide Polypeptide Collagel+ Eye Mask.
Alternatively, if you don't fancy sitting on the plane with a mask on, apply a thick layer of Oxygenetix Hydro-Matrix to top up your oxygen levels.
Dry skin is a common result of flying due to low humidity levels in airplane cabins, which can drop to around 20% at 30,000 feet.
To avoid your skin drying out during the flight, make sure you apply a thick layer of a rich hydrating moisturiser.
I suggest SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid . You could even apply a hydrating mist underneath for an added hydration boost. Jane Iredale Pommisst Hydration Spray
Or if you prefer apply an oil like Eminence Facial Recovery Oil
Victoria Beckham swears by Facial Recovery Oil to keep her hydrated during flights!
During the flight, it's crucial to carry a travel-sized lip balm or gel and apply it regularly. Opt for a product enriched with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
A popular one is the Jan Marini Hyla3D Lip.
Lastly but no means least, drink plenty of water and avoid coffee or alcohol. Ideally start to prepare for your journey the day before, drink plenty of water to hydrate, rather than turning up at the airport already dehydrated.
You could top up your hydration levels by taking Rejuvenated H30 Hydration sachets the night before & during your flight.
By adding H3O Hydration you increase hydration levels and maintain the electrolyte balance.
Enjoy your Flight!!
