Beauty on the Go

For many of you, the upcoming holidays translate into plane travel. Often, our bodies don’t respond so well to being moved from place to place, high overhead. But, fear not. With a little preparation, you will look your best despite the altitude.

 

Herewith, a few tricks…

 

  • Face: Cabin pressure causes skin to become dehydrated. The night before you fly, apply extra rich, extra thick moisturizer that will prime your face for the plane’s dry air. And, do yourself a favor and skip the foundation on the day of travel. Use moisturizer only.

 

  • Cheeks: Boost your complexion with magic dust—a shimmer powder or cream applied lightly to the tops of cheeks and bridge of nose. Also, a cream blush and lip balm will add color without drying.

 

  • Lips: Layer with a lip stain, apply a few coats and then finish with gloss. Or, use medicated lip balms throughout the trip, instead. More is better, in this case. Stay away from cakey lipsticks or long-lasting formulations, as these can dry out delicate skin.

 

  • Eyes: Use a rich eye cream under your eyes and if you are skipping concealer, reapply during your flight, particularly if you will be sleeping.

 

  • Body and hands: Again, it’s all about the moisture. Slather your body before you dress in your moistest moisturizer, and do the same for hands. Remember to reapply after you wash your hands, which should be often when you travel.

 

  • Hair: Cabin dryness will produce fly-aways and static and sometimes leave hair looking flat. During the trip, twist your tresses on top of your head and secure with a butterfly clip or fabric band. When you land, your hair will be full and full of natural waves, too. Take along a spritz bottle of water, turn your head upside down and spray at the roots to reignite products when you are on the ground. The upside—if you suffer from coarse hair, nothing is better than airplane air to fight the frizz.

 

Safe travels, and see you soon.
