Any flight is stress for the skin and the body as a whole, and considering the dry air in the plane and the sudden pressure drops, this can also be a strength test. To ensure that flight does not affect your appearance, you should take care of your skin.
Before the flight:
- a few days before the flight, refrain from the products that delay water in the body, including alcohol, heavy and fatty foods. Try to eat more vegetables, fruits, cereals and dairy products.
- drink a lot of water, but without extremes, within normal limits. Because a large amount of drunk water can provoke swelling.
- on the day of departure make a moisturizing mask, and before leaving the house apply a good moisturizer and serum.
- try not to do peeling procedures on the eve of the flight. The permitted maximum is very soft scrubbing, without the slightest damage.
Not so long ago, cosmetologists in the same breath said: if you want healthy skin after the flight - do not use makeup on the trip! However, now many specialists say the opposite: it turns out that make-up foundations and decorative cosmetics are recommended to use during the flight, as it retains moisture. As for the lip make-up, the best choice is the usual hygienic lip balm.
During the flight:
- to preserve the water balance, drink water in small portions, but every 20-30 minutes.
- moisten your face with thermal water spray, but it certainly should be with a low content of minerals – because salt can dry your skin. After spraying, be sure to remove any remaining water with a dry cloth.
- during a long flight use a moisturizing tissue mask. However, it is recommended to keep the mask exactly as much as indicated on the package, otherwise the opposite effect can be provoked.
- dry air in the airplane is especially unfriendly to the skin around the eyes. To avoid dry feeling, use gel patches. But after using them it is good to apply moisturizing cream under the eyes.
- use hand cream if needed.
After the flight:
- clean your skin and remove the leftovers of cosmetics or moisturizers, dust and bacteria.
- to restore the hydro balance, use an intensive moisturizing mask. Before it is applied, do an easy peeling with fruit acids.
- use antibacterial agents if after the flight your skin is irritated.
