There are a few tips and tricks that can help you look and feel fresh before you get off that plane
Travelling long distances can take a toll on you. Not only is it taxing and tiring to sit in a cramped plane seat for hours, but the packing and stress of having taken everything you need and everything else counts. After spending several hours in a closed cabin with controlled air and climate temperature, not only do you not feel good, you might not look your best too. But don’t worry, no one is going to judge or blame you. Nevertheless, for the sake of making you feel good about yourself, here are three simple tips to keep in mind to look great even after hours of sitting on a plane. You can thank us later, first read on:
1. Go bare-faced
If you are someone who is not comfortable stepping out without make-up, trust us this one time. Although it sounds counter-intuitive to looking great (As we all believe make-up does magic to our beauty), just this once, put it aside. Having make-up on your face for long hours especially in an airtight cabin with additional air pressure, can cause break outs as well as clog your pores. This will in turn make your skin look dull and dirty.
If you still think you really the need the makeup, opt for the bare minimum. Hydrate your skin well enough before travelling by drinking lots of water, nourishing your skin with a moisturiser and keeping your lips soft and supple. Going bare-faced will help your face look fresh and clean even after long hours of travel. It also allows you to keep up with your skin care regime during travel.
2. Avoid eating salty food
Salty foods can leave you dehydrated. Dehydrated skin could be your worst enemy by making you look dull and lifeless. Most of the food we opt for before flying are quick bites in the airport that are usually junk food. Air travel already dehydrated your body and obstructs with your blood circulation. Sodium content present in your food will just make this worse for you. If you have noticed your face, hands and feet slightly bloat after flying, it might be due to dehydration caused due to lack of water and more sodium in the body.
3. Get some sleep
Sleep solves a lot of problems, including this one that we are talking about. Instead of working on your laptop or indulging in a movie marathon on the plane, use this time productively to catch up on some sleep. Don’t forget to carry an eye cover mask to comfortably put you to sleep. Getting sleep on the plane not only has you arriving fresh at the destination, but also saves you time of getting on the time zone of your place.
