Skin Tips for Frequent Fliers
While in flight, your skin is exposed to dry pressurized air, which has no moisture. When humidity (the amount of water present in the atmosphere) is low, your skin will dry out faster. Long exposure to this dry, pressurized air causes skin to become dry, scaly, less radiant, and less supple. This leads to a very tired, haggard appearance upon landing.
One way to help avoid this is to apply a very rich moisturizer to the face and neck pre-flight. Drink non-carbonated water during the flight, and try to avoid alcohol and caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic that actually dehydrates your skin.
Upon landing, wash your face and neck, and apply a thin layer of the kaplanMD Perfecting Serum. This Serum contains a 50% concentration of hyaluronic acid, along with Sweet Pea, Licorice and Milk Thistle extract, which works to immediately hydrate, firm and brighten skin. If you land during the morning or afternoon, after applying the Serum, apply a light layer of moisturizer that contains a minimum SPF 15.
I'm always on the hunt for some new tips about face care and traveling as I do travel a lot. Thank you for the information on the Serum, I think I'll take a look at it.
