Don’t wear make-up. The low humidity in pressurised airplane cabins can make your skin dry out even more when you have make-up on. Use Aviation Hydration regularly and apply your make-up after you land.
Don’t snack on salt. Try to avoid adding salt to your meal and don’t eat the salty snacks provided.
Avoid alcohol. It is very dehydrating. Drink water, and lots of it. If you are nervous, try watching the movie or reading to take your mind off the flight.
Hydrating Mist. Whilst popular opinion says that using a hydrating mist will help stop your skin from drying out – it depends what ingredients are in the mist. If it contains alcohol then you are not doing your skin any favours. A lightly moisturising, water-based mist will help. Aviation Hydration water-based mist is coming soon.
Eyes wide open. On long haul flights your eyes can become very dry and irritated. Pack a couple of bags of green tea. Use these just before you land (soaked in warm water of course). Place them on your eyes to refresh and reduce puffiness.
