Got any summer travel plans? If so, don't forget that air travel is great at making your face feel not like your face. Cabin air is drier than the Sahara. It makes your under-eyes puffy, your lips chapped. How many times have you landed looking like you took a red-eye, even if you took off at 10 a.m.? That's why you need these products — they hydrate, soothe and make you feel more like you once you reach your destination.

The reality is that no one can fit a 12-step skin care routine on a tray table. We love these products because they're compact, travel well and most of them do multiple jobs, so they cut down on how much you have to cram into your carry-on.
In this article: LOOPS DOUBLE TAKE - Glow Korean Hydrogel Face Masks, Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain Peel-Off Masque and LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
Before you leave for your next trip, check out these in-flight beauty essentials. They're tried and tested and will make sure you land looking rested and refreshed.
LOOPS DOUBLE TAKE - Glow Korean Hydrogel Face Masks
These face masks are calming and deeply hydrating, with aloe vera and sunflower seed oil to refine pores and brighten skin. And because they come in a five-pack, you'll have enough for your flights and the hotel room after a long day of exploring.
Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain Peel-Off Masque
Wonderskin’s peel-off lip stain has real staying power — it can survive airport coffee, snacks and the general indignity of travel days. It's waterproof, transfer-proof and smudge-proof, with a matte finish designed to hold through meals, commutes and workouts, so you know it can handle a long flight.
Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask is meant for overnight, which also makes it great for flights. It's packed with vitamin C, shea butter, murumuru seed butter and antioxidant-rich berry ingredients for treating (or preventing) dry, flaky lips.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Under-Eye Patches
These undereye patches feel tailor-made for flights — they use caffeine and peptides to hydrate, soothe and de-puff your under-eye area. Plus, this six-pack gives you enough to use them during a trip and after you land.
EADEM Le Chouchou Lip-Softening Balm
This product is a lip balm and gloss in one, offering Brazilian açaí butter and African mongongo butter to lock in moisture, while also adding a clear, high-shine finish with no fragrance or color.

A face spray is a high-travel hack — it's so refreshing to use during and after flights, when your skin has been languishing in recycled cabin air. This one is travel-sized at 1 ounce and formulated to reduce redness and calm irritation.
BIODANCE Hydro Cera-nol Real Deep Mask 20% OFF

This 15-milliliter under-eye roller pairs caffeine, retinol, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin E with a cooling rollerball. Want an extra travel hack? It's best used chilled, so ask a flight attendant for a cup of ice to let it sit in for a few minutes before you use it.
Kitsch Contour Pillow Eye Mask 20% OFF
You'll always feel better after a long flight if you can get some rest. This lightweight eye mask is contoured to avoid eye pressure and designed to sit away from lashes, which makes it more comfortable for sleeping upright than a flat mask.
