Travel Beauty Products That Will Refresh Your Hair, Face, and Body After a Long Flight

The Travel Beauty Essentials You Need

Nothing is worse than stepping off a plane for vacation feeling swollen, puffy, and dry. There are a few reasons: When you're at a high altitude, your body (and skin) is forced to quickly adjust to the sudden changes in pressure and temperature. It doesn't help that the air on planes is constantly recirculated, making it much drier than what you're used to. Add to that a lack of solid beauty sleep and you have a recipe for dehydrated and dull skin and hair.

"The key is not letting your skin dry out," says New York–based dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, M.D. In other words, "It's not the time for a retinoid. It's not the time for a peel. It's not the time for anything drying." It is the time, though, for some major moisture. Look for hydrating, gentle, and calming ingredients that will help prevent dryness.
