How To Look Good While Flying

Total Beauty - Beauty Advice Just Got A Makeover. In less than 24 hours yours truly will be on a flight out to sunny LA for Total Beauty’s Blogger Summit! Some of my fave beauty bloggers will be attending including Yummy 411 and Spoiled Pretty. There we’ll be prepped and primed on how to become even better, more successful beauty editors and get to rub elbows with some of the industry’s most fabulous beauty brands. I’ll aim to blog from my BlackBerry or laptop while at the Summit and take lots of pics!

In the hours leading up to my flight, this is how I’m prepping and priming my skin and body for smooth landing…

How To Look Good While Flying

Drink lots (and lots) of water. I’ve been sipping on Figi all night and know it will help my skin stay freshly hydrated while in the air.

Apply (and reapply) a light moisturizer to your face. An alternative to this is a moisturizing face mist such as by Evian. Yes, Evian makes a can of water mist that is a lovely pick-me-up for the skin.

Avoid dehydrating substances such as salty foods, soda, and alcohol. Water retention will make your face look puffy and your hands/feet swell. Unsalted nuts and the like will be a delight to snack on while on the plane!

Skip out on heavy makeup. Wear tinted moisturizer and lip gloss. This is perfect minimal makeup.

Get some sleep. I will take a melatonin caplet before stepping on the plane and have reading material (Allure, Money magazine, The Bible — NOT Cosmo) to keep me occupied until I snooze off!

What are some of your jet set beauty tips? What about while on cruises?

Why not Cosmo?

I haven’t been on a plane since my early teens. I really want to travel soon, but don’t see it happening, although one of my boyfriend’s best friends does live in AZ.

Those are awesome tips. :) The re-circulated air is so incredibly drying on your skin! I flew once without taking precautions and my skin freaked out after.

Have fun!!

Have fun! Flying also affects my hair in scary ways.

Christine    

Agreed on the minimal makeup! And have a great time. I can’t wait to see some photos.

I’ve never been on a plane but will probably be flying soon to visit Michigan. (I’m tired of driving there.) I’ll keep these tips in mind, because I never knew flying did anything to your skin. That’s so cool you got to go to that!
