Skincare My Face Drinks Up 💧
Holy grail products for keeping my skin barrier strong and hydrated. I focus on gentle cleansers, rich moisturizers, and anything that locks in moisture because once your skin dries out mid flight, it is so hard to bounce back.
Alcohol and fragrance free for my sensitive skin! All three products are hydrating and great for pre-makeup.
BYOMA Hydrating Starter Skincare Kit - 2.01 fl oz: With Ceramides, Green Tea Scent, Travel Size, Normal Skin
I’ve been using this for at least a decade as a base before moisturizing. Bonus, it works as a lip plumper.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum - The Ordinary | Sephora
Love this as a final step before makeup primer. Really gives my face a “glass skin” appearance.
5.07 Hydrating Milky Toner - BYOMA | Ulta Beauty
If I’m traveling somewhere really dry (Phoenix or Vegas 👋). This is my secret weapon to keep my face from drying out.
1.3 oz Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer with Niacinamide - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
Hydrating Makeup Essentials 💋
Makeup can either save your skin or make it look ten times drier, especially in the air. I stick to creamy, dewy formulas avoid anything that clings or cracks. The goal is an effortless glow that still looks fresh after a full day of flying.
One of those products I’ve bought 20+ times cause it’s just that good. Blurs and evens out skin, and I just prefer BB to foundation.
Medium Dream Fresh BB Cream 8-In-1 Skin Perfector - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
Such a pretty cream blush! I go for cream over powder every time. This doubles as a lip, too.
Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick - MILK MAKEUP | Sephora
Such a beautiful cream bronzer, love this for contouring or giving a sun-kissed look alongside blush.
Matte Cream Bronzer Stick - MILK MAKEUP | Sephora
Primer is essential as a first step in makeup for me! This is hydrating and just locks everything else in.
COVERGIRL TruBlend Skin Enhancer Primer - Velvet Blur - 0.81 fl oz: Liquid Form, For Normal, Oily, Combination, Dry Skin
This is gorgeous, hydrating, and LASTS. Love the shade orchid.
Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm - tarte | Sephora
Chapped Lip Saviors 💋
Lips are always the first thing to go for me when I’m flying. I keep ultra nourishing balms and treatments in every bag because dry, cracked lips are just not it. The key is layering and reapplying before you even feel dryness coming on.
A nourishing pick that smooths, moisturizes, and adds beautiful color to lips.
Be Bold Ceramide Lip Blur Balm Hydrating & Smoothing Lip Treatment - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
Smooths and hydrates lips while adding shine. Hyaluronic acid makes my lips look so plump so I love that it’s an ingredient in this.
Petal Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
Love taking this on my layovers to repair my lips after a long day of flying. I just leave on overnight and wake up to moisturized lips!
Lip Sleeping Mask - LANEIGE | Sephora
Nothing aesthetic about this. I bring this bad boy out for redeyes when no one is going to see my lips and I need serious moisture.
Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy White Petrolatum Lip Protectant
Hydrating Sprays and Masks 🥥
Little luxuries that make such a difference. A good facial mist instantly refreshes and adds hydration mid flight, and hydrating masks are my favorite way to reset my skin overnight in hotel rooms.
Reduces redness and protects your skin barrier.
4.0 oz Calming Magnesium Facial Mist - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
Moisturizing, also doubles as a setting spray for makeup. And smells amazing.
8.0 oz Rosewater Refreshing Facial Mist - Heritage Store | Ulta Beauty
Korean skin care! Great for when my skin is extra dry, just leave overnight!
Water Sleeping Mask for Moisture Barrier Support with Niacinamide & Squalane - LANEIGE | Sephora
Received this as a gift, it’s pricey, but definitely worth the price tag. Super hydrating mask!
Jet Lag Mask - Summer Fridays | Sephora
Fragrance free, good for eczema-prone skin. I do not have eczema, but I find that it really leaves my skin moisturized.
Resurrection Polypeptide Cream - cocokind | Ulta Beauty
