Air travel can be stressful on your skin and body. The dry cabin air, low humidity, and long hours can lead to dehydration, dullness, and fatigue. At Bianca Clinic we’re here to help you maintain your radiant glow, even at 30,000 feet. Here are our professional tips for keeping your skin and body refreshed during and after your flight.
1. Hydration is Key
One of the biggest challenges during air travel is dehydration. Combat this with a two-fold approach:
- Internal hydration: Drink water consistently before, during, and after your flight. Aim for at least one glass per hour, and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
- Topical hydration: Use a hydrating mist or serum with hyaluronic acid to replenish your skin’s moisture throughout the journey.
2. Pre-Flight Skin Preparation
Prepare your skin for the flight by creating a barrier against moisture loss:
- Cleanse gently: Start with a mild cleanser to remove dirt and oil, leaving your skin clean and ready to absorb hydration.
- Moisturize deeply: Opt for a rich moisturizer with ceramides or glycerin to lock in hydration.
- Apply sunscreen: UV rays can penetrate airplane windows, so don’t skip a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
3. Enhance Hydration with IV Therapy
For frequent travelers or those embarking on long-haul flights, IV hydration therapy is an excellent way to ensure your body is fully nourished and hydrated:
- Pre-flight IV shots: These deliver essential fluids, vitamins, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, helping to combat dehydration, fatigue, and oxidative stress caused by flying.
- Post-flight IV shots: After landing, an IV treatment can replenish lost nutrients, reduce jet lag, and revive your skin’s natural glow.
At Bianca Clinic we offer tailored IV hydration therapy options to support your specific needs during travel. The most popular ones are vitamin C, NMN and exosome.
4. Keep Makeup Minimal
Avoid heavy makeup during flights, as it can clog pores and dry out your skin. Instead:
- Use a lightweight tinted moisturizer or BB cream for coverage.
- Apply a nourishing lip balm to prevent chapping.
- Pack blotting papers to control shine without overloading your skin.
5. Mid-Flight Skincare Routine
For long-haul flights, take a few moments to care for your skin mid-flight:
- Sheet masks: Hydrating sheet masks with calming ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid are perfect for in-flight pampering.
- Eye care: Use a soothing eye cream or gel to prevent puffiness and dark circles.
- Barrier repair: Apply a leave-on hydrating mask or facial oil to lock in moisture.
6. Post-Flight Recovery
Once you’ve landed, your skin will need extra care to recover from the journey:
- Double cleanse: Remove any residual dirt or product buildup from the flight.
- Rehydrate: Apply a serum or moisturizer with antioxidants to restore moisture and combat free radicals.
- Soothe: Use a calming toner with ingredients like chamomile or green tea to reduce any irritation.
