Airplanes are one of the worst things in the world for your skin. I've never actually minded them much, until I realized how quickly they can reverse any progress you have made with your skin. I always try to make an effort to take measures to protect my skin from the dehydrating air of planes, and maybe even improve it a little on those long flights. Here are my must haves and routine for airplane skincare!
Origins Drink Up Face Mask: The first thing I do when I get on the plane is put on this mask. It is clear, so you don't look crazy while on the plane, is super hydrating and protective, and smells like a delicious apricot. I have a travel size of this mask which is perfect, however the full size meets TSA requirements for carry on liquids as well!
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads: I use these to take off my face mask once the plane lands. These pads gently exfoliate, act as a toner, and instantly brighten my face, which is perfect after a long, stressful plane ride.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream: I then use my favorite moisturizer in the world to lock in the hydration the mask gave my skin. I scooped a little out from the full size container into a sample container I received from lush. Just ask for a sample of one of lush's conditioners, and then reuse the container.
Benefit Porefessional: Because I was traveling somewhere nice and warm, I applied a little of this primer to prevent any oiliness and smooth out my skin without having to put in the effort of a concealer or foundation.
First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy: Lastly, I put a bit of this under my eyes to cover dark circles and depuff my eyes. This is not my favorite under eye concealer as it does crease a bit, but it is super brightening and I absolutely love the soothing metal applicator.
