5 Products That’ll Have Your Flight Feeling Like a Self-Care Sesh

It’s all fun and games when you’re booking that 5+ hour flight out to your dream getaway - until you’re up in the air with nothing to do for what feels like an eternity. Well, we’ve got a few ways to keep you busy along the ride.

On long flights, it’s easy to neglect your skin and haircare. Instead of mindlessly staring at your seatback tray table when you can’t bear to watch another movie, why not elevate your beauty routine while soaring over international waters?

Carry out these hair and skincare things-to-do the next time you’re airborne. Be sure to store the travel-sized products below in your carry on for easy access in flight.

BY TERRY Hyaluronic Flash Eye Patch, $20

Can’t get to sleep on the flight, but want to appear well-rested when you arrive at your destination? Pop on these hyaluronic-acid infused eye patches. The invisible patch caresses under eyes with eight types of hyaluronic acids for targeted moisture, niacinamide for radiance, and caffeine to minimize dark circles. Close your eyes for 20 minutes and let the formula work its magic, leaving you looking refreshed and well-rested.

IGK Antisocial Overnight Bond-Building Dry Hair Mask, $36

Politely excuse yourself from the passenger who’s been chatting your ear off, slip away to the lavatory, and spritz on the Antisocial Dry Hair Mask. This time-release treatment features leave-in, bond-building technology and vegan silk extract to repair and smooth the hair. No mess, no residue, and no need to rinse or restyle afterward. Just spray on dry hair, comb through, and sleep during overnight flights – when you wake, your hair will be smooth, shiny, and tangle-free.

Good Molecules Pimple Patches, $8

What if we said you could have clearer skin by the end of your flight? Good Molecules Pimple Patches are made of ultra-thin hydrocolloid, a material that absorbs moisture and promotes the healing of pesky pimples. Leave on for 6-8 hours or overnight to shrink breakouts. Plus, it’s virtually undetectable (in case you’re not into making a fashion statement with your patch). Keep it on overnight or wear it as you rush through the airport to catch your connecting flight - no one’s gonna notice.

Surratt Beauty Hinoki Facial Mist, $50

Get up, stretch, and spray on this soothing mask for quick hydration all flight long. A variety of factors, from dry cabin air to lack of sleep, can take a toll on your skin while you’re up in the air. One spritz of the Hinoki Facial Mist is packed with anti-inflammatory hinoki oil, soothing rice bran, and antioxidant-boosting camellia sinensis leaf. Give yourself a few sprays throughout your flight to refresh and perk up your complexion.

We’re confident that the one hero product you need on a long flight is a water-resistant, broad-spectrum SPF 45 sunscreen. The Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer drenches skin with a 30% Hyaluronic Acid Complex, featuring a unique water-break texture and an invisible finish. This formula helps keep your skin hydrated for up to 72 hours, and it’s sure to outlast your flight, so you have moisturized skin when you land.
