Block those rays
Did you know you can be exposed to UV rays while you fly? It's true, that's why you need a moisturizer (have we drummed that into you yet?) with sunscreen. Check out a multi-tasking SPF moisturizer such as Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense SPF 30, $34, to defend against those nasty free radicals and keep your skin hydrated.
The eyes have it
Dark circles become a real problem on flights, so banish them with a soothing eye treatment, such as the L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Manuka Honey Eye Gel, $24.99. This gentle formula has 2 key ingredients: caffeine to tighten the blood vessels and hyaluronic acid to suck all the moisture in. That combined with the cooling rollerball will wake up your undereye area, leaving you looking refreshed and rested.
Spritz, darling
Even if you properly hydrate before flying, your skin will likely appreciate a mid-flight pick-me-up. This Burt's Bees Hydrating Facial Mist, $12.99, is just what the doctor ordered. Give your face a spritz every couple of hours.
Don't forget the lips
It's important to keep your lips hydrated; cracked, chapped lips look terrible and feel worse. Luckily, it's Mario Badescu Lip Balm, $8, to the rescue, for long-lasting lip hydration (and bonus, it doubles as a gloss).
Turn off the TV
If you're on a long flight, do yourself a favor and catch some zzz's! Take the time to sleep, instead of (or after, let's be realistic) watching a movie. Sleep is good for your skin and immune system. If you're always waking up with a crick in your neck, try out the Trtl Pillow, $29.99. It's basically a fleece dickie, with an internal support system to support your neck. It doesn't take up much room and is machine-washable.
