A FLIGHT attendant has dished on keeping her complexion looking pristine. She said she doesn't let flying over 16 hours per day hold her back from a comprehensive skincare routine. Redditor Cabincrew shared her tips in a comment on the social media platform.
She said finding a regimen that works for her took a lot of "trial and error." The flight attendant leaves no stone unturned when it comes to skincare at 35,000 feet. She also spilled her routine for when she's back on solid ground.
The flight attendant emphasized the importance of staying hydrated while flying. She said she keeps a large personalized water bottle with her on flights. "Make it interesting," she said.
"Add chia seeds, spirulina, mint leaves, lime — whatever will get you drinking." She revealed her makeup tip for a long shift in the sky. "Before putting on makeup, apply a good moisturizer, let it sink in, and five to 10 minutes later, add sunblock," she said.
"You can still get so much sun from the windows, even if not direct." She also nixes foundations for longer shifts and uses BB cream instead, as she finds the former settles into fine lines. She also recommended moisturizing heavily during nap time as well as using a hydrating facial mist frequently during flights.
The flight attendant is sure to make her skincare routine count when she's on the ground as well. In the morning, she washes her face with water only. Next, she applies a hyaluronic acid followed by a facial cream after five to 10 minutes .
