In-Flight Skin Care Essentials

Long flights are horrible – but we know it’s going to be worth it when you reach your destination. Although you’ll be free to watch unlimited movies and be offered so many refreshments in your life, long haul flights can be a nightmare. Not only it’s super uncomfortable, the air up there is pretty dry that’s filled with bacteria. If you want to know some of the things you need on your carryall to your long haul flight, check out some of these essentials to do your skin a favor.

It has coconut oil and clary sage which is a Mediterranean plant used to capture and retain moisture. It actually smells so fresh.

Facial oils will definitely help your dry skin. Apply it in the middle of your flight. Right before landing, massage it in for a couple of minutes then you’ll see such a difference.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Wash your face first before putting on a lot of moisturizer. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour line is super moisturizing, the eight our cream skin protectant is rich and many people will tell you that your skin will look amazing after just one use. There are two variations of this – the original and the unscented one. Many people are sensitive to the smell of the original one so if you’re sitting to another person on the flight, they might be bothered with it.

This can also be used for other dry areas like your lips, a dry patch on your arm and many more.
