Preparing your skin for air travel
Elevate Your Travel Experience: How to Prepare Your Skin for Air Travel with Morpheus Medical Aesthetics
Traveling can be an exhilarating experience, offering a much-needed break from the daily grind. However, the journey to your dream destination can take a toll on your skin, thanks to the dehydrating air on planes and the sudden climate changes upon arrival. At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics in Santa Rosa, California, we believe your skin deserves to be as well-traveled and pampered as you are. Whether you’re heading to the humid beaches of Hawaii, the dry deserts of Las Vegas, or the chilly winds of New York, we’ve got the pre-travel skin prep you need to arrive glowing.
The Impact of Air Travel on Your Skin
Air travel exposes your skin to a unique set of challenges, including low humidity levels in the cabin that can lead to dehydration, dullness, and sensitivity. The change in pressure can also affect your skin’s ability to retain moisture, making it crucial to prepare your skin before you embark on your journey.
Destination: Hawaii – Embrace the Humidity
Heading to a humid destination like Hawaii? Hydration is key, but it’s also essential to ensure your skin can breathe and handle the moisture in the air. At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we recommend a hydrating facial like HydraFacial that focuses on deep cleansing and moisturization, paired with a light, breathable moisturizer that won’t clog your pores in the humid weather.
Destination: Las Vegas – Combat the Dryness
The dry air of Las Vegas demands a different approach. Intense hydration treatments and products that lock in moisture will be your best bet. Our skin experts might suggest a dermaplaning treatment ensuring your skin stays plump and hydrated amidst the desert air.
Destination: New York – Protect Against the Cold
For those flying to the colder climes of New York, protecting your skin from the harsh, cold air is paramount. A barrier-repairing facial can help strengthen your skin’s protective barrier, while a rich, emollient moisturizer will keep it soft and supple, preventing chapping and redness due to the cold.
Pre-Travel Tips for All Destinations
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight to help your skin stay hydrated from the inside out.
- Apply Sunscreen: Regardless of your destination, a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Pack Wisely: Include a travel-sized skincare kit in your carry-on with essential items like moisturizer, sunscreen, and lip balm to keep your skin cared for in transit.
At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we’re committed to ensuring your skin is as prepared for your travels as you are. With tailored treatments for every destination, our experts are here to ensure you step off the plane radiating health and vitality, no matter where in the world you find yourself.
