Everyone feels ragged after a long flight. But that doesn’t mean you have to look ragged. Here are five steps (and five products) to help you combat the top signs of plane fatigue and look great before your flight touches down.
1. Re-hydrate with Multi-Use Oil
Airplane air is very low in humidity, making it particularly dry. It dehydrates everything which is why you always feel so dull when you land. Your best bet is to use a multi-use oil which can be used on face, body, and hair. For example, Vasanti’s Monoi Magic ($15) is made with Tahitian Monoi Oil (with no preservatives or additives) and sinks in quickly to give skin an immediate healthy finish. Smooth a couple of drops on your face and neck. Then run your hands through your hair to smooth stray strands.
2. De-puff with Eye Cream
Even short flights can result in dark circles and puffiness. Use a replenishing eye-cream or serum that also has brightening agents. Try Origin’s GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream ($30) instead of Dr. Brandt’s Dark Circle’s Away suggested in the video, . It will brighten up your entire eye area and to help de-puff.
3. Perk Up with Rosy Cheek Color
Now that your face is moisturized, get a little color. A cream blush will give you a sheer healthy looking color. Vasanti’s color pod comes in three different gorgeous rosy hues with hyaluronic spheres, mango butter, and pomegranate sterols to plump those cheeks. No brushes needed (useful for flights).
4. Save Your Lips with Lip Balm
Chapped lips are no fun. Air Repair’s Rescue Balm prevents moisture loss and has sweet olive oil and vitamin E to hydrate skin and repair your lips. This 100% natural balm can be used on lips, elbows, cuticles, and anywhere else skin is particularly dry.
5. Look Wide Awake with Mascara
Counter droopy eyelids with a lengthening mascara (as long as it’s not a bumpy landing!). Origin’s Ginzing Brightening Mascara has an extra-large wand to coat each and every lash and has a long lasting formula.
So now you don’t have to worry about looking fatigued after your flight . Look great every time you step off a plane!
