Disha Patani is jet-lagged. Though I don’t relate right now, I will once I’m back from my vacation. The bone-dry skin. The under-eye puffiness. I dread even thinking about it.
But I’ve figured out how to combat it.
But First, This Is Probably Why Your Skin Feels Jet-Lagged
- U.V-induced damage is more probable. This is because you’re close to the sun (and the windows of the plane aren’t U.V-proof.)
- Humidity, literally, drops to 20% in a place. No humidity means moisture in the air. The result? Bone-dry skin.
- A lack of sleep disrupts the production of melatonin (hormone) in our bodies, which makes us tired, and thus, leads to lines, dullness, and other issues.
Apart from doing an in-flight skincare routine, I’ve found some products that will reverse all that damage post-flying and travelling time zones.
Try A Salt Eye Mask Before Tucking In
The Dr Trust USA Hot Cold Pack Himalaya Salt Eye Mask Pillow is revolutionary. Since it’s infused with Himalayan Pink Salt, it reduces inflammation and puffiness while you rest. The best part? It has 2 settings. You can heat it to moisturise your skin or freeze it to depuff. Pick your concern!
Replace The Hotel’s Existing Pillowcase
Remember to change pillowcases the minute you reach your accommodation. The Pillow Talk Pillowcase by Fix My Curls is your best after-care remedy. Though it won’t ‘treat’ your jet lag, it will prevent it from worsening. Silk reduces friction on the face and doesn’t absorb oils and moisture from the skin.
Put This Mask On
To replenish your skin’s moisture, layer the POPxo Fresh Start Deep Moisturising Cucumber Sheet Mask onto your face for a couple of minutes. It’s cooling. It’s healing. It’s everything your skin needs before you catch up on the zzzzs.
Apply A Lip Mask
To keep your lips feeling soft, get your hands on The Pucker Hydrating Lip Mask Cube is a balmy-soft mask-cum-tint that rehydrates and moisturises for hours on end. Since it’s strawberry-tinted, you can wear it while you’re exploring a new city.
Moisturise, Moisturise, & Moisturise Some More
Don’t sleep on this moisturiser, sleep with it on. The Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance Face Moisturiser is a high-quality formula that will make you forget about the dryness of the cabin you were sitting in for so long. Your skin will feel baby-soft in no time. I promise.
I know I’m stocking up on these ASAP. You should too!
