Packing for a flight to a far-off destination? Whether you’re flying towards a bucket list getaway or a much-awaited family reunion, there’s one travel essential you can’t forget: your in-flight skincare routine!
Keeping skin hydrated and glowing at 35,000 feet doesn’t happen by itself. You need to plan ahead. Load your carry-on with TSA-friendly serums, moisturizers, and self-care treats!
Desert-dry air, lack of hydration, and a spew of UV rays can batter your skin. Here’s what you need to pack to wake up in a new city looking show-stoppingly refreshed!
In-Flight Beauty Essentials For Glowing, Hydrated Skin at 35,000 Feet
Lancolia (NJ)
Stress Less Orange-Scented Massage Oil
Maker: Nabila Brabez
When you’ve had enough of your neighbor’s snores or too-loud headphones, dip into your bag for this Orange Scented Massage Oil. Glide it on pressure points to de-stress when you need it most. The soft citrus scent calms your mind and quickly hydrates flight-worn skin!
The handy roller lets you conveniently swipe it on whenever you need a quick pick-me-up!
Ginger Chi (NY)
Jade Relaxation Mask Therapy
Maker: Anna Lam
Turn even the most cramped airplane seat into a tranquil spa day. Unroll this Jade Relaxation Mask and place it over your eyes. The heaviness of the jade relieves sinus issues and reduces puffiness, and invites your soul to slink into a meditative state. Take a few long breaths and let your mind wander—you might not reawaken until the plane lands!
Once you reach your destination, toss it into the freezer for an even more relaxing experience!
Kenza International Beauty (NY)
Prickly Pear Seed Oil Eye Serum
Maker: Khadija Fajry
Dry, baggy eyes are a classic sign of a passenger worn down by an overnight flight. Make sure it doesn’t happen to you! Sweep this brightening serum under your eyes, and you’ll be ready to take on the town. Prickly Pear teams up with Argan Oil and Green Coffee Bean Oil for a supple, refreshed look you’ll love.
True It Naturals (NJ)
Lavender Organic Beeswax Salve
Maker: Laura Truitt
Dry plane air can rough up elbows, knees, and nail beds. But when you have this Bee Chill Beeswax Salve stowed in your carry-on, you can swiftly tend to dry patches! Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, and Coconut Oil lock in moisture, while the peaceful lavender scent whisks your mind off to paradise.
This raving review says it all: “Love the texture, and it's very moisturizing!”
Arbria Creations (CA)
Arbria's Mini Plant Based Facial Ritual
Maker: Ayanna Jackson
That out-of-office reply won’t write itself! Close down your laptop and head for far-flung places even your boss can’t track down. All you need to do is grab this ready-to-go set. The self-care mavens at Arbria Creations tuck everything you need into a 5-step travel bag, including a Matcha Tea Facial Mask and Rose Geranium Toner.
Turn it into a nightly routine—you’ll love spa-ing up your hotel room stays with this beautiful set!
Crystal Earth Skincare (IN)
Rose Petals Lip Balm
Maker: Crystal Wright
Returning from a long trip, anticipating a romantic airport pick-up? Fall into your honey’s arms with kissably soft lips. Throughout your flight, sweep on this Rose Petals Lip Balm—it melts right into your lips with sweet, buttery-soft floral oils for a dreamy texture you can’t beat. Infused with rose quartz, it’ll also get your soul in a loving mood!

Whether you’re absconding on safari or hitting the bright lights of Broadway, action awaits the minute you land! Strut down the jet bridge ready-to-roll with this Take me Bye Bye Travel Set. It’s jam-packed with six flight-ready essentials—like a soothing eye balm, facial scrub, and botanical face oil!
Ology Essentials (TN)
Full Spectrum CBD Oil
Maker: Kayla Fioravanti
By hour two, you’re staring at the plane tracker, impatiently waiting for touchdown. Instead of fretting, reach into your carry-on for this Full Spectrum CBD Oil. A few drops under your tongue or added to an in-flight beverage can help bring your body back to center.
Pick Unflavored, or Cocoa Mint—both are available in a convenient (and TSA-approved!) travel size.
Yaku Collective (MA)
Balancing Face Serum
Maker: Sharon Sanchez
Between snapping your #wingview for Instagram and noshing on a snack box, find a few moments to massage this Balancing Face Serum into your skin. Gently apply in smooth, circular strokes to wake up a dry, fatigued countenance. Jojoba, Pumpkinseed Oil, and Vitamin E lead the ingredients list, blending into a non-greasy serum that soothes and brightens.
