The In-Flight Beauty Routine to Look and Feel Fresh While Travelling
The In-Flight Beauty Routine to Look and Feel Fresh While Travelling
Travel is well and truly back, and there’s no doubt you’ve either already booked your next trip or are in the process of doing so. Whenever we think of the plane, however, we’re a little bit wary: stale cabin air and low humidity can wreak havoc on your skin, causing it to become dry, dull and even puffy. These issues are virtually unavoidable, regardless of if you’re flying long haul or short, so it’s necessary to gear yourself up with a routine that can help you navigate these concerns.
Before you jet off on your next getaway, be sure to stock up your travel bag with this in-flight beauty routine to touchdown in your destination looking and feeling fresh. In this routine you’ll find staples to clear, cleanse and nourish your complexion from your top K-beauty brands, specifically hand-picked to minimize mess and keep you within your baggage limits. Let’s get right into it.
Cleansing Tissue

Before you start any skincare, you want to make sure your skin is clean from the get-go; there’s no point in putting all that effort into your routine if your skin is unclean and your skincare can’t absorb into your complexion. The Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Tissue swipes away any and all impurities and makeup with a slightly acidic formula that leaves the skin balanced and refreshed. Centella Asiatica and Tea Tree Leaf extract ensure the skin remains calm and irritation-free.
Toner Pad

It’s safe to say in-flight skin requires extra care and attention to ward off dehydration and irritation, which is why the SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad is such an essential. This toner pad is packed with Carrot extract and Carrot Seed Oil that are rich in Beta-Carotene, good for replenishing skin hydration while calming heated or sensitive skin. The waffle texture of the cotton pads glide over the skin, minimizing friction to keep the skin feeling comfortable.
Eye Patch

Nothing betrays a restless flight like a set of dark and dull undereye circles, and let’s be real: this is not how you want to start your vacay. Comfort and revive panda eyes with the I DEW CARE Starlit Kitten Brightening Hydrogel Eye Patch, made to banish darkness and fatigue from your complexion. The hydrogel patches are infused with jewel powder, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine for a luxurious, brightening pick-me-up, getting you from tired to wide awake in just 30 minutes. Pop ‘em on, take some well-deserved rest, and these patches will do all the work for you.

Say no to dry, flaky lips on board and yes to a plump and healthy pout, courtesy of the Dr.Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry Lip Oil. It offers intense hydration with plant-based oils and treats lip lines with an Active Berry & E Complex, creating a 360° wrap around the lips to enhance elasticity and vitality. The smooth and silky oil promises no stickiness whatsoever, and leaves a radiant pink tint that can double as a nourishing lip gloss during your travels.
Sun Stick

SPF might be at the back of your mind when boarding a flight but if you’re sitting in a window seat, it’s possible for UV rays to get to your skin (looking at you, daytime fliers). The Haruharu WONDER Black Bamboo Daily Soothing Sun Shield SPF50+ PA++++ is ideal for mess-free sunscreen application while simultaneously soothing and strengthening the skin, thanks to hydrating fermented Bamboo Shoot extract and antioxidant-rich Ectoin. The soft, powdery texture is featherlight and undetectable, imparting a restorative cooling finish.
Face Mist

The cult-fave Caudalie Beauty Elixir wears many hats: radiance booster, makeup setter, hydrating face mist. Its impressive ingredients list touts a medley of botanical oils and extracts, including Peppermint Oil, Lemon Balm Oil and Grape extract, to visibly up skin dewiness and glow, in addition to providing antioxidant protection and reducing skin redness. Any time your skin needs perking up during your flight, a couple of spritzes of this TSA-friendly mist will do the trick.
Face Mask

No longer is there a need to faff around with liquids and creams on your flight with the Biodance Hydro Cera-Nol Real Deep Mask. The viral K-beauty brand’s hydrogel mask comes loaded with Panthenol, Oligo Hyaluronic Acid and 5-layer Ceramide to provide deep moisturization and soothing benefits, maintaining high moisture levels for up to 150 hours. It strengthens the skin barrier to prevent dreaded ‘airplane skin’ and lets you alight the plane with a glowing complexion.
BB Cream Cushion
