The best time you have to maximize your skincare routine is during a long haul flight. Why you wonder? Well, it’s simple. You’ve got all this free time, because some long haul flights can last close to half a day. While on a flight, some of the most common things to do include reading a book and watching a movie. Who’s to say you can’t do these and more while working on your skincare routine? Long haul flights are especially hard on our skins and faces, so it’s important that you work on preserving the suppleness and freshness of your skin before and during the flight. Drink a lot of water and take care of your skin during the flight with an infallible skincare routine.

The Benefits of Wearing A Mask On A Plane
Face masks are an important part of any skincare routine and for many reasons. They supply your face with much-needed moisture and hydration, because dehydration is one of the many cons of a long haul flights or flying in general. One question that might linger in your head is, “are face masks actually allowed on planes?”. Well, I’m here to tell you that they are! As long as they pose no harm to the other passengers and the flight itself, your facemasks can come with you during the flight, and you definitely can use them. Of course, a flight is not the time to use a clay mask, but just a simple sheet mask that hydrates and protects your skin.
Airplane Facial Kit Essentials
When packing your carry-on luggage, there are some beauty essentials that you need to include:
- Wipes

Pre-Flight Beauty Tips (for long haul flights)
For the best skin care for long haul flights and to make sure your face stays fresh and pretty all flight long and when you land, here are some tips to consider putting into practice:
- Drink less caffeinated drinks as this helps to reduce jet lag.
- Drink lots of water
- Pack your own in-flight healthy snacks – almonds, fruit etc
- Take off all makeup and remove your contacts – try not to fly with too much makeup to save you having to only take it off before using the beauty mask.
