Winter travel can be harsh on your skin. Between cold temperatures, dry cabin air, and long travel days, moisture loss happens quickly. To keep your skin balanced, hydrated, and protected, your travel skincare routine needs a few hard-working essentials. Here are three standout products that make all the difference when you’re on the go during the colder months.

1. 1. La Mer Lip Mask
      Dry, flaking lips are one of the first signs of winter dehydration, especially on airplanes. The La Mer Lip Mask provides intense restoration with nourishing ingredients that lock in moisture for hours. Apply a generous layer before your flight and reapply as needed. By the time you land, your lips will feel noticeably smoother and more supple.

   2. Facial Spritz: Evian Mineral Water Spray or Pure Rose Spritzer
      A hydrating facial mist is a must-have travel companion. The cabin environment on airplanes pulls hydration from your skin, leaving it tight and dull. A quick spritz of Evian’s mineral water or a pure rose spritzer replenishes moisture instantly and refreshes your complexion throughout your journey. Keep it in your carry-on for easy access and mist whenever your skin needs a boost.

1. The Ordinary Facial Oils: Squalane, Marula, or Rosehip Seed
   When it comes to deep hydration and barrier protection, facial oils are your best friend in the winter. The Ordinary offers affordable, high-performance options packed with antioxidants and anti-aging benefits. Choose from Squalane, Marula, or Rosehip Seed oil to help seal in moisture, support your skin barrier, and protect against the extra dryness caused by recycled cabin air. Apply a few drops after your moisturizer, especially before long-haul flights, to keep your skin plump and nourished.
