Have you noticed that your skin isn't the same when you land after a flight? It's no coincidence. Flying significantly alters skin health. Altitude, pressure, and cabin dryness directly affect hydration, oil production, the skin barrier, and inflammation. The good news? You can prevent it.
Your skin becomes dehydrated in mid-flight
Airplane cabin humidity levels can drop to 20%. This translates into tightness, dryness, and a dull texture. To counteract this, pack hydrating products in your carry-on. Byoode's Hyaluronic & Okra Allegory Serum, with triple-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, Madecassoside, and okra extract, plumps skin and soothes immediately. Apply it before takeoff, and if the flight is long, reapply mid-flight.
Another ideal option: the Nopal & Kombucha Metaphor essence, biphasic and inspired by the Korean ritual, which hydrates, protects and strengthens the skin barrier.
Oilier skin (yes, even if it's dehydrated)
The body tries to compensate for the lack of moisture by producing more sebum, which results in shine and more visible pores. The key is to hydrate well with oil-free formulas before the flight. Byoode products, such as its serums and light creams, contain moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and antioxidants that balance the skin without overpowering it.
Unexpected irritation and redness
If you don't hydrate well, your skin can react with inflammation, itching, or sensitivity. A pre-flight routine with soothing active ingredients is essential. Hyaluronic & Okra Allegory incorporates Madecassoside (from Centella asiatica), which acts as a balm for the skin, reducing redness and strengthening its defenses.
Swelling and swollen appearance
The pressure of the plane promotes fluid retention, which is noticeable not only in the legs but also on the face. To prevent this, you can perform small drainage massages during the flight and use cosmetics with anti-inflammatory ingredients. Byoode's formulas incorporate botanical active ingredients such as okra extract and radish root, with soothing and decongestant properties.
The sun also passes through the window
Yes, even on the plane you need sun protection. Higher altitudes mean greater UV exposure. Sitting near the window? Don't hesitate: apply an SPF before boarding. Byoode's Harmony Light Cream SPF 30 is a lightweight cream with UVA/UVB filters, antioxidants, and an invisible texture. Ideal for protecting without a greasy feel and keeping your skin radiant throughout the flight.
Traveling doesn't have to take its toll on your skin. With a simple routine and the right products, like those from Byoode, you can maintain hydration, prevent shine, soothe redness, reduce inflammation, and protect yourself from the sun without complications. Next time you board a plane, let your skin fly with you... but without consequences.
