The skin easily suffers under conditions of stress and climatic changes, but traveling by plane can cause an aggressive dehydration in our skin.
During flights, constant exposure to a recycled air with a below-normal humidity level causes dehydration of the skin and the mucous membranes, resulting in a chapped, tired skin.
If the flight is long it is possible that our skin and our sebaceous glands make a rebound effect that causes an excess of sebum in the skin that, added to the lower levels of water, triggers a situation of imbalance that results in skin irritations and even in the appearance of some spots.
With proper beauty care during flights, our skin can “survive” without stress or side effects.
Among the 1001 tips on flights, these 8 are the “must do“. Do we take off?
- CLEAN: never get into a plane with makeup. The first step you should take is clean your skin. Choose cleansing wipes like Missha’s super aqua, which gently remove dirt and even waterproof makeup.

- STAND UP and walk a little at least every hour. During the time in which we are sitting, make flexo-extension movements and ankle rotations to improve circulation and prevent fluid retention.
If what we really want is not only “survive” flights but avoid cellular stress and the consequent aging of the skin, our recommendation is to give the skin extra “hydration”, nutrition and oxygenation on the previous days to the trip and restore the post-travel shortcomings as soon as possible. In Institut Saurina de Pomaré we propose the treatments OXYJET PRE-TRIP and the treatments POST JET-LAG.
The OXYJET treatments allow, through oxygen therapy and virtual mesotherapy, to provide concentrated actives (hyaluronic acid, collagen, organic silicon …) to the deeper layers of the skin, preparing it to be able to resist more and better external aggressions.

If we do this in the previous days to the trip, we manage to “neutralize” the negative effects of air with less humidity inside the aircraft while minimizing the impact of solar radiation that is much more aggressive. On the other hand, it balances the skin regarding the level of sebaceous and sweat secretions, preventing the uncomfortable and untimely rebound effects (spots, irritations, eczema,…) after the flight.
For that dreaded moment that is the return of the holidays, in Institut Saurina de Pomaré we also have a group of treatments POST JET-LAG. While we are on holidays, we want to break with the routines and sometimes neglect our skin forgetting that is a living organ that does not go “on vacation”. Its needs, after a plane trip and after a period in which you have been subjected to many external aggressions (exposure to the sun, constant contrasts of temperature / heat, etc…) are many and the POST JET-LAG treatments are the solution.
Beauty treatment after a plane trip
Its goal is to help the skin regain the lost balance, eliminate the signs of tiredness, remove excess stratum cornea that gives us the bad appearance to our skin and allow the skin cells to be able to return to perform their vital functions without stress and therefore with less premature aging.
Exfoliation with oxygen, cold laser for the introduction of hyaluronic acid, stimulating micro-currents, electroporation and radiofrequency are several of the actions that make up these effective treatments that make disappear the “footprints” of fatigue and plane trips in a single session.
Post-jet lag therapy with micro-stimulatory currents
With all these tips, we will get a hydrated, nourished and balanced skin. Apply these tips and treatments before, during and after a trip. Your skin will thank you!
