The trend of in-flight skincare has gained popularity, especially on social media, as people seek ways to counteract the negative effects of air travel on skin. Dermatologist Dr. Corey Hartman notes that flights can lead to dehydration, puffiness, and breakouts due to low cabin humidity and pressure changes. Many travelers are tempted to use skin-care products at high altitudes to address these issues. Common complaints related to flying include dullness and oil buildup from moisture loss, which can exacerbate skin problems during and after flights.
Dr. Corey Hartman explains that due to the dryness and pressure changes in the cabin, long flights can have a negative impact on the skin, with humidity levels also playing a role.
With a lack of moisture in the air, your body will produce more oil to compensate. Oil buildup, in turn, can cause your skin to become irritated and break out.
Pre- and post-flight, most people experience dehydrated skin, puffiness, and breakouts.
Flying at high altitudes reduces blood flow to the skin, causing that dullness, and pressure changes can slow down the lymphatic system.
