Don't be fooled by influencers. Your airplane skincare can be low-key.

Don't be fooled by influencers. Your airplane skincare can be low-key.

You don't need to wear a full face mask to keep your skin hydrated, even on a super long flight. Just stick to the basics and you'll be fine.

Something about going through all the trouble of putting on a full face mask and applying multiple products seems weird to me, especially at 35,000 feet, far from the comfort of your mirror at home.  

And it turns out the true skincare enthusiasts might be doing it wrong anyway.
