flying can be a real tough challenge for the skin, especially long flights when sleep and skin recovery are negatively affected. The re-circulated and dry air draws moisture from the skin and exposes it to a higher amount of air pollution. Since the skin barrier is weakened, the skin may feel dry, irritated and lifeless. At such a high altitude, the skin is exposed to strong UV radiation, which further wears it down. The airplane environment can also lead to the skin becoming oilier due to dehydration, which in turn causes acne breakouts. Since the skin already struggles to maintain balance, avoid stressing it by using too much makeup. To avoid clogging, you should stick to light skin care products.
