Tips To Arrive Fresh And Chic At Any Destination

1. HYDRATE FROM THE INSIDE

Drinking water is important for the health of your cells, circulation, renal function and skin, while also replenishing any fluids you lose during the flight. To stay hydrated, it’s recommended that we drink one litre every four hours or apple juice cut with water — also avoid alcohol, which dehydrates the body. Instead of carbonated drinks, opt for those infused with thyme, rosemary or lemon balm. And even if you are not thirsty, drink cool or room temperature water.

2. HYDRATE FROM THE OUTSIDE

“In flight, the main enemy is dry air. Your pores dilate and your skin can become shiny,” explains Hélène Salat-Baroux, Training Director at Caudalie. “The humidity level in the cabin is 5%. Plane cabins are pressurised to simulate Earth’s elevation, and your blood absorbs less oxygen at those altitudes.” Use hot towels to relax your face and open your pores, so the serums and moisturisers you use after will absorb better.

Remove your makeup with a smart all-in-one product that cleanses and moisturises at the same time. Refresh your skin with a fragrant moisturising mist and immediately apply moisturiser on top in order to lock in that hydration. Hydrate as much as possible with another layer of moisture, and another... And don’t forget your lips!

For your post-flight routine, remember to exfoliate — dry skin can create surface dead skin cell buildup, which can cause oil and bacteria to be trapped under the skin, resulting in an increase of breakouts a day or two after flying. And to restore and plump your skin, hydrate by applying a mask to drench your skin in moisture.
