Summer is finally here. And while the blue skies and warmer weather is yet to arrive in the UK, we're likely to be spending more time outdoors or travelling to warmer climes. And flying overseas, especially long-haul, can leave skin feeling far from its best. So here we share our top tips for aeroplane skincare so skin is calm, comfortable, and glowing from the moment your holiday begins.

Don’t skip the SPF

This is without doubt the most important step in caring for your skin at any time of the year. When packing your SPF 50+, you might think of only applying it in the morning as part of your skincare routine - not at the airport terminal before the plane has even taken off! But in fact, flying is also when you'll need your sunscreen.

A study found that UV radiation exposure doubles at high altitudes which means that your skin is at more risk of sun damage on the aeroplane than it is on land. So, remember to apply your sunscreen before you travel, and re-apply throughout the flight if necessary.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

The air that circulates on board the aircraft is much drier than the air at lower altitudes. This is what causes the feeling of a dry nose and mouth, and tight, dry skin after aeroplane travel. Make a conscious effort to sip water throughout your flight to keep your body hydrated and reduce these effects. And as for your skin, our Reviver Hydrating Mist helps to add instant hydration, while calming a sensitive and itchy complexion. Simply spray directly onto your face and neck right from your seat.

Need a boost?

To bring radiance to your skin while you slumber, try our Bakuchiol Booster. Whilst retinols can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, Bakuchiol may have the opposite effect by potentially reducing sensitivity to the sun's damaging rays. This powerful nighttime booster helps to promote collagen synthesis and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin looking radiant.

If pigmentation or dullness is your concern, try our Vitamin C+E Booster to protect against free radical damage, leaving skin smooth, plump and glowing. Our boosters are petite enough to fit in the palm of your hand and contain 10ml of our concentrated formula. Perfect if you're only travelling with cabin luggage.

However you’re spending your summer this year, we hope that you are able to relax, recharge and create beautiful memories. You deserve the best.
