“Flying is one of the most dehydrating things you can do because of the super-low humidity,” she explains; hence, why this step is one of her essentials.
You could opt for petrolatum-based products (i.e., anything with mineral oil), but those aren’t necessarily the best for every skin type, plus they aren’t so great for the environment. Instead, try layering a face oil over your moisturizer to reap the occlusive benefits without the stickiness.
