Jetting off for spring break? Taking that long-awaited vacation? We love that for you.
Travel is exciting, but itcantake a toll on your skin. If you've ever stepped off a plane feeling like your skin is tight, dry, or dull, you're not imagining it. Airplane cabins are notorious for causing dehydration, and without the right skincare routine, your complexion may take a hit.
But don’t worry! With minimal preparation and well-chosen products, you can keep your skin glowing no matter where your travels take you. Hydration is crucial while flying. Dermasensa’sHydro BF Moisturizer can be your in-flight lifesaver.
Why air travel zaps your skin’s moisture
The moment you step into an airplane cabin, your skin is exposed to an environment that's much drier than what it's used to. There’s:
✈️ Low humidity: The air inside a plane has significantly lower humidity – typically around 20% (compared to the 40-60% most people find comfortable). This dry air pulls moisture from your skin, leaving it dehydrated and more prone to irritation and dullness.
💨 Recirculated air: Airplanes use a controlled ventilation system that recirculates air throughout the cabin. While this keeps fresh oxygen flowing, it also contributes to skin dryness by continuously wicking away moisture.
🚰 Reduced water intake: Traveling disrupts routines, and many people forget to drink enough water while in transit. Combine that with dry cabin air, and dehydration happens fast.
In-flight Skincare: How to keep your skin hydrated and glowing
The key to avoiding post-flight skin struggles? Hydration, hydration, hydration! Packing the right skincare essentials in your personal item bag will ensure your skin stays nourished and protected mid-flight. Here’s how:

Other essential in-flight hydration tips
🧴 Bring a travel-size facial mist or serum: A hydrating mist or serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C(like TRI C) can provide an instant moisture boost throughout your flight.
🥤 Drink plenty of water: It may seem obvious, but hydration starts from within. Aim for at least 8 ounces of water per hour while flying to help counteract moisture loss.
🙌 Keep hands clean: Airplanes are full of germs, and constantly touching your face can introduce bacteria that lead to breakouts. Use a gentle, hydrating hand sanitizer or wipes to keep your hands clean before applying skincare.
🥗 Eat water-rich foods: Snacks like cucumber, watermelon, and oranges help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol, which can dehydrate your body even more.
Ready, set, glow for your destination
Whether you're heading to a sunny beach getaway, a city escape, or a business conference, your skincare routine should adjust based on your destination’s climate.
🌴 For warm, humid destinations: Hydration is still key, but you’ll want lightweight layers. Pair Hydro BF Moisturizer with a vitamin C serum like C Super for a radiant, even complexion.
❄️ For cold, dry climates: Your skin will need even more hydration. Apply Hydro BF alongside a nourishing mask like Mango Mask to keep your skin barrier strong.
🏙 For urban or work travel: Pollution and stress can impact your skin. Incorporate Alpha P serum to help combat oxidative stress and protect your glow.
