The Best Skin Care Products Every Jet-Setting Woman Should Have

1. July 24, 2017 The Best Skin Care Products Every Jet-Setting Woman Should Have The jet-setting lifestyle certainly has its appeal. Having breakfast on the riverbank in Rome followed by dinner overlooking the New York skyline sounds enviable to be sure. However, what most people don’t consider when longing for this lifestyle is the toll that long-haul flights take on our skin. First off, most airplane cabins have a humidity level of just 20%—a far cry from Page | 1

2. the 40%-70% that’s ideal for skin to look and function its best. Second, plane air conditioning can further dry out skin, making it feel tight and stretched. What’s a continent-hopper – or any busy traveler – to do? Equip yourself with the right arsenal of skincare products before you leave. Here are the best skin care products to accompany you on your travels: A Moisturizing Serum Face down the challenge of keep your skin hydrated onboard a plane by investing in a good moisturizing serum. Serums have very small molecules that easily and quickly penetrate the skin layers, giving your skin a hydrating boost in no time at all. Serums with sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid, such as Kerstin Florian Correcting Hyaluronic Serum, make excellent choices, since they not only increase moisture in the skin, but they help retain it by reducing trans- epidermal water loss. You can even top things off with a rice face cream to further boost and seal in the moisture provided by your serum. A Makeup Remover Not only does makeup tend to run or fade during long flights, it can also settle into pores and hamper cellular respiration. When your skin is free of makeup, it can breathe more easily— which is especially important during long stretches in the dry environment of an airplane cabin. A rinse-free, non-drying makeup remover is a great travel companion to keep skin fresh and clean before a mid-flight snooze, or for touchups before landing. A Lip Balm Lipstick is a choice, but lip balm is a must. Again, the recirculated air in an airplane often causes chapped lips, which can be uncomfortable at the least and painful at worst. Look for products that use natural emollients such as canola and castor seed oils. Likewise, choose one that has a bit of SPF protection to protect you not only when you deplane but from the UV rays streaming down to your window seat! Page | 2

3. A Sunscreen Sunscreen isn’t just for the beach. If you’re in a window seat, you can be in direct contact with sunlight for the duration of the flight—and UV rays happen to be stronger at higher altitudes. Hence, pack a sunscreen that has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 for adequate protection, and reapply it every few hours just like you would outdoors. Indeed, a jet-set lifestyle has its perks—as well as quite a few challenges for your skin. With the right preparation, however, you can keep your skin looking radiant even after long flights wherever your final destination may take you!
