Focus on our top Eminence Organics travel beauty tips for keeping your skin fresh and nourished instead of your snoring seatmates and wailing infants.
Tips to Keep Your Beauty Essentials Safe While Traveling
No matter how you look at it, especially for seasoned travelers, boarding a flight abroad is a miserable experience. But when you've carefully planned for everything that flying will throw at you, it's not impossible to unwind and reset at 36,000 feet. (Yes, even during a recession.) Here, a variety of wellness-minded professionals provide their travel beauty advice so that you can land looking—and feeling!—totally rejuvenated. Their advice ranges from inside-out hydration to maintaining one's body clock.
1. Before boarding, watch what you eat.
The greatest attack is a solid defense, thus the 24 hours before to your transatlantic flight are crucial for what you put in your body. According to Dr. Shelby Harris, a behavioral sleep medicine specialist, "Alcohol and caffeine may dramatically affect the quality of your sleep, so be conscious of your consumption and try to avoid it as much as possible."
Also keep in mind that hefty, greasy, or spicy meals before a journey might make it difficult to sleep. "Try to eat a combination of complex carbohydrates and protein beforehand if the flight is at night as the combination can help with increasing sleepiness," she advises, mentioning whole wheat crackers, oatmeal, bananas, low-fat cheese, greek yogurt, and cherries as calming snacks to try before takeoff.
2. Prepare your skin before taking off.
The skin on your face and body feels very dry since the air on a flight is less humid than most surroundings that we are accustomed to. Preparing your skin before long flights may prevent your skin from becoming too dry. Apply a good facial recovery oil after using a strawberry rhubarb masque to pamper your skin before taking off. Hyaluronic acid, which is intensely moisturizing and gives the skin a plump look, is a component of the strawberry rhubarb masque. Additionally, it includes BioComplex, an antioxidant, coenzyme Q10, and alpha lipoic acid booster that helps to reduce the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Multi-Purpose Skin Care in a Pack
It's important to keep in mind that the current carry-on regulations only allow you to bring travel-sized containers with each item weighing no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). A multi-product travel kit like our Must Have Minis is one of your finest options for aircraft skin care when luggage space is at a premium. A must-have Minis Starter Set contains travel-sized versions of Eminence Organics faves including Stone Crop Gel Wash and Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant in one handy travel bag, providing a full skin care regimen of our best-selling products.
Pick the convenient Age Corrective Starter Set, which contains the nutritious ingredients bamboo, monoi, coconut, and neroli. The look of fine lines and wrinkles is improved with Swiss Green Apples and a Natural Retinol Alternative. Five skincare items, all in proper tiny sizes for flight travel, are included in this kit.
4. Give Your Body Some Pre-Flight TLC
According to renowned Los Angeles aesthetician Mila Moursi, having a comprehensive pro facial is the greatest insurance if keeping your face glowing is a top priority. To oxygenate your skin and clear your pores, she advises scheduling it a few days before your trip.
Before you ever enter an airport, your skin will be in its optimum condition. In order to strengthen the skin's natural barrier and protect it from environmental harm on the day of the flight, Moursi advises washing your face with a mild milky cleanser, followed by layers of hydrating toner and serum. Finally, she advises sealing everything in with a thick cream moisturizer.
Eleni Tsikrikas, an ayurveda practitioner and herbalist from Silverlake, suggests giving yourself a complete body abhyanga, or self-massage before you leave for the airport if you want to offer the skin behind the neck the same tender loving care. She explains the blood-flow-inducing procedure by saying that oil is "soothing, lubricating, nourishing, and will seal the body from the cold, dry air that's pushed out throughout the journey." Apply oil all over with your fingertips after squeezing some onto them. Allow it to absorb for four to five minutes before massaging it in with circular strokes.
5. Use a facial treatment mask to unwind.
When you have access to a Stone Crop Gel Wash in your carry-on, there's no reason for your skin to feel unclean throughout a lengthy journey. However, you'll need to transfer this into a smaller container in your collection of travel-sized skincare products. Or just spray yourself with the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist rather than dealing with the trouble of washing up in a confined space like an airport.
Your skin is not just at risk from dryness when in flight; it is also at risk from the chilly air and recycled air. The Firm Skin Acai Exfoliating Peel offers moderate exfoliation that helps to restore firmer-looking skin, even mid-flight so that you don't leave with a dull complexion.
6. Hydrate & Refresh Your Skin While Flying
In order to battle the dry cabin air, it's crucial to hydrate well in addition to maintaining a clean and clear face. We enjoy using our Linden Calendula Treatment while on board with normal to dry skin types. Fresh linden and calendula plant extracts intensively hydrate the skin, while herbal oils revive their suppleness and young appearance. After landing, you may either keep the treatment on for more moisture or remove it with a damp face towel.
For a rich and intensely moisturizing combination, you may also combine the Linden Calendula Treatment with a drop of the Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil. For plane travel, we advise our Lotus Detoxifying Overnight Treatment for normal to oily skin. This thin gel-cream guards against drying environmental stresses and stops water loss in the dry climate of an airline cabin. These two masks may both be used over lengthy trips. Despite the dry surroundings of the typical Airbus, your skin will feel thoroughly moisturized.
If you remove your mask in the middle of the flight, moisturize your hands, face, and neck afterward. The components in the Monoi Age Corrective Night Cream for Face & Neck, including argan oil, evening primrose oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil, will hydrate and soften the look of your skin on your face and neck. Use the Mangosteen Replenishing Hand Cream to protect your hands from dryness and experience delicious joy!
Consider chapped lips. The Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 guards against dryness and chapping while also offering SPF protection. If you are sitting by a window, you should increase your sun protection for your face as well. Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40 offers both SPF and blue light protection.
7. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Although it's no secret that flying can have a negative impact on your hydration, the Aerospace Medical Association recommends that you drink eight ounces of water every hour while you're in the air to avoid dehydration. Increasing your water intake before to takeoff can help you get a head start on this difficult task on a long-haul trip. Tsikrikas suggests consuming warm liquids instead of cold ones while in the air to counteract the chilly cabin temperatures. Examples of these are hot water with lemon or a spicy herbal tea.
She adds that she usually travels with a small bag of grated ginger and an empty thermos that a flight attendant fills with hot water. "Ginger is warming and calming to the gut, as well as helping with peripheral circulation, such as chilly fingers and toes," she says. Even while frequent toilet stops are tiresome, they will keep your body moving, which is necessary for good circulation, oxygen levels that battle exhaustion, and the prevention of cramps.
8. Give yourself a facial on the flight
Use a nourishing face oil, such as geranium, jojoba, or frankincense, on your face, lips, neck, and décolleté to combat the lack of fresh air. Omega fatty acids and vitamins included in these oils, according to Moursi, "deeply hydrate, condition, and shield the skin from dryness and oxidative stress, while smoothing fine wrinkles and leaving a young shine."
After that, intensify the results with a face massage that awakens the muscles. She suggests beginning with little circular motions and massaging up and forth before directing long, soft strokes toward the ears. Applying a leave-on mask, such as Moursi's Hydrating and Soothing Mask, can help the skin repair itself as you sleep and will advance your skincare routine.
9. Purchase a Few Sleep-Friendly Accessory
A good pillow and warm, comfortable clothes are only the starts. Harris suggests using noise-canceling headphones and a silk sleep mask because "I'm a fan of masking the noise [and light] as well as possible." Dim the lights before going to bed and stay away from overly exciting entertainment and blue light from electronic gadgets. She advises that if you must use a gadget, switch it to "night mode" since "it makes your brain think the sun is still out, which inhibits melatonin synthesis and leads to less sleep."
Harris advises taking a few minutes to meditate, either without the use of technology or with the aid of mobile applications like Calm or Headspace, if you need more assistance calming an overstimulated mind. She claims that they "help relax the mind and body and prepare the body for sleep." Alternatively, you might use a melatonin pill or an adaptogenic elixir to promote sleep. According to Harris, the timing and dosage of melatonin depend on how many time zones you've traveled through as well as your direction of travel. A calculator online can help you pinpoint the appropriate timing and dose.
10. Skin Care Following Flight
Alicia Hawthorne, the lead of the Eminence Organics Product Support Team, advises using a spicy treatment to revitalize the skin after travel: It would be a fantastic pick-me-up because the reduced air pressure and greater altitude may make the skin seem drab.
The Eight Greens Phyto Masque or the Turmeric Energizing Treatment While the Snow Mushroom & Reishi Masque reduces post-flight puffiness around the sensitive eye region, hot will give the skin a pink flush.

Final thought
If you ate enough before your travel, you might choose to skip the microwaved, nutritionally inadequate in-flight meals and salty processed snacks entirely and think about intermittent fasting in their place. Not only will it help you adjust your circadian rhythm for your next location, but it can also promote detoxification, maintain metabolic stability, and even lessen the effects of jet lag. Not to mention, it will help prevent "jet bloat," which occurs when the increased cabin altitude air pressure causes the body to produce more uncomfortable gas.
