Everything You Need to Know About TikTok’s Airplane Skincare Trend

The airplane skin-care trend on TikTok has sparked interest due to the dry and recirculated air in airplane cabins, which can dehydrate skin. Dermatologists like Dr. Anna Chacon, Dr. Rachel Nazarian, and Dr. Brooke Jeffy emphasize hydration as key during flights, particularly on long journeys. While maintaining a basic skin-care routine in-flight is beneficial, they warn against overly complex regimens. Essential steps should include using mild cleansers, antioxidants like vitamin C, and moisturizers with SPF to protect and hydrate the skin. Face mists and hyaluronic acid sprays can also help maintain hydration without needing to touch the skin.
