✈️ How to Keep Your Skin Hydrated on Long Flights

🚨 Why Flights Wreck Your Skin

Cabin air has less than 20% humidity — drier than the Sahara Desert.
That means your skin loses moisture every minute, leading to:

  • Dullness

  • Fine lines

  • Flaky or tight skin

  • That “jet lagged” look — even if you slept


🧴 The In-Flight Skincare Fix: 5-Step Hydration Routine

✅ Step 1: Start With a Clean Canvas

Before boarding, wash your face with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser.
Avoid anything foaming or scented — it will just dehydrate you more.

✅ Step 2: Use a Water-Based Moisturizer

Skip heavy creams. You want deep hydration without a greasy film.

Editor’s Pick:
Hermelis Luminour Water Cream
Lightweight, fragrance-free, and made for long flights.
Feels like silk, soaks in fast, and keeps your skin glowing midair.

✅ Step 3: Mist Mid-Flight

Use a clean facial mist (rose water or thermal water) every few hours to refresh.

✅ Step 4: Skip In-Flight Alcohol

Alcohol = instant dehydration. Stick to water or coconut water.

✅ Step 5: Lock In Moisture Before Landing

Reapply your water cream 30 minutes before landing.
It’ll boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and help you look alive.
