6 Celebrity Facialists Share Their Favorite Airplane Beauty Staples
Over the river and through the woods with perfectly primed, hydrated skin? Harder than it sounds. Hectic travel schedules and overdrying air at 35,000 feet aren't exactly helpful for achieving a glowy, healthy looking base. For crack-free, happy skin, heed the seasoned advice of the world's best celebrity estheticians. Here, 6 ways to keep your eyes, lips, and cheeks protected, wherever that airplane takes you this season.
“Traveling over the holidays, especially by plane, can be stressful on skin and cause dryness or even an overflight blemish. My must-have companion is VITA-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules by Environ, which contain a small dose of retinol and antioxidants that protect with a silky finish.” —Georgia Louise
"I love AKMD Skincare Hydrating Peptide Gel in any situation but the ability of this hyaluronic acid-based product to absorb quickly and enhance hydration makes it a great option for travel. Hyaluronic acid holds 1,000 times its weight in water, which helps seal in moisture and provide extra protection in dehydrating conditions like sun, altitude, and airplane cabins. Oil-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, it works well for any skin type and can be applied after cleansing under sunscreen, make-up, or moisturizer." —Nina Patino
"I never travel without my Peoni L’extrait face oil. Without artificial humectants, it helps return elasticity to my skin, and soothes any irritations. A little goes a long way. If I land and have to go straight into action, I add an extra drop to my foundation. Voilà, glass skin! Lip balm is also a must—I use it on my cuticles inflight, too." —Jennifer Brodeur
"Massage is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments that you can do on your own. Just 7 minutes a day makes a significant difference over time. I created my multi-purpose Facial Massager to make the job easier. It also can be used for drainage and pushing product into the skin, and comes with a travel bag for easy packing. Stick it in your mini fridge for the extra benefits of cold therapy." —Joanna Czech
"When flying, it's so important to have the sensitive areas on the face covered. Before getting on the plane, I always recommend putting on a ton of this eye and lip cream to both areas. It's super hydrating, I've been using it for over 10 years and have never had any irritation from it." —Mzia Shiman
"L’Eauxygenante is a perfect companion if you’re heading somewhere with cold, dry air. This product comes in a little spray bottle and is applied as a fine mist, making it easy to use on the go. It's a moisturizing, protecting product that enriches skin with Vitamin A and C. [I also use] Biologique Recherche’s brightening complex. It is good for all skin types, and [boosts radiance] on even the longest of flights." —Toska Husted
