Long-haul flights can do a number on your skin, but Avon’s Social Media Manager, Gigi Gomez, knows how to stay fresh-faced at 30,000 feet. Gigi recently journeyed to LG H&H headquarters (Avon’s parent company) in South Korea, which included a 15-hour flight! You can bet she went prepared with beauty essentials that kept her glowing from takeoff to touchdown. From a hydrating face mist to a sculpting sleep mask, Gigi shared a full breakdown of her in-flight beauty routine. (Trust us, you’re going to want to copy her carry-on.) Read on for inspo on what to pack for your upcoming travels.  

Oral care is a must.  

Gigi kicked off her in-flight routine by tending to her pearly whites. “I 100 percent believe oral care should be a part of your in-flight beauty routine,” she shared. To cleanse and refresh her teeth mid-flight, Gigi opted for the Himalaya Pink Salt Purple Color Corrector + Intensive Whitening Toothpaste. With advanced color-correcting power and Himalaya pink salt for effective cleansing, this purple toothpaste features a delightful vanilla mint taste and provides up to 24-hour stain resistance while also strengthening enamel. Another brush up just before landing helps you to feel clean and fresh when you deplane. 

Refresh with a spritz.  

Next, Gigi started her skin care regimen with a few spritzes of Beyond Glow Niacinamide 2% Cream Mist. Cabin air can be super drying to your skin so it’s perfect for an in-flight refresh. This creamy, fast-absorbing spray-on serum delivers an instant boost of hydration to the skin and is infused with niacinamide to help brighten and even your skin tone.  

Layer on the serums.  

To lock in some much-needed moisture during her flight and achieve that glass-skin look, Gigi then used the Beyond Glow Snail Mucin Complex + Niacinamide Serum. She followed that with the Beyond Glow Niacinamide 10% + Panthenol Serum: “I love using this serum to focus on areas where I have acne scars and larger pores,” she explained. Both serums are also the perfect size for travel.  

Mask it up.  

Before drifting off for her beauty sleep in the sky, Gigi reached for the Anew Platinum Sculpting Sleep Mask, which helps visibly lift, plump and nourish skin while you get some shut-eye. Lastly, she applied Beyond Glow Lipcerin Intensive Nourishing Lip Care “for the most hydration” to keep her pout perfect.

Whether you’re a seasoned jet setter or just hopping a short flight to see family, an in-flight beauty routine will protect and nourish your skin when and where it needs it most. Even if you don’t need an overnight mask for intercontinental travel, keeping skin hydrated and looking and feeling fresh makes getting to your destination, no matter how near or far, much more enjoyable and comfortable. Take it from Gigi; next time you’re ready for takeoff, be sure you’ve packed some hydrating and nourishing beauty essentials in your carry-on for easy access. Your skin/face will thank you.
