The UV exposure on the plane is much greater than on land and so if you’re sitting next to the window make sure to apply sunscreen and close the window shade. I make sure to remove my make-up before overnight flights and then apply my retinoid cream to prevent any acne breakouts. I follow this with a barrier-repairing moisturiser like [Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream](https://www.binsina.ae/en/avene-tolerance-control-soothing-skin-recovery-cream-40ml.html), and then apply [Isdin Fotoprotector Fusion Water Magic SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen](https://www.binsina.ae/en/isdin-fotoprotector-fusion-water-magic-spf-50-facial-sunscreen-50ml.html). I always travel with a small tube of the [Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm](https://www.myaster.com/online-pharmacy/p/eucerin-aquaphor-soothing-skin-balm-40-g/1003964) because I can use it as an eye cream and to keep my lips hydrated. Finally, I always travel with the antibacterial hypochlorous acid from [Tower 28](https://www.revolve.com/sos-intensive-rescue-serum-with-hypochlorous-acid/dp/TOEI-WU56/) to cleanse my hands and face mid-flight.” Follow [@DrLanaKashlan](https://www.instagram.com/drlanakashlan/?hl=en) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.me/h_lCywhmIkFrAgqcjLi0tWSlXXo=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2024%2F07%2Fnew-me-editorial-300724-in-flight-skincare-dr-malda-al-daoudi.png) ](https://www.instagram.com/drmalda/) ## Dr. Malda AlDaoudi ### *Aesthetic Dermatologist* “I usually start with the [Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser](https://www.myaster.com/online-pharmacy/p/cetaphil-gentle-skin-cleanser-500ml-expiry-date-may-2022/1021996) to remove any make-up or pollutants. Next, I apply a hydrating serum from [SkinCeuticals](https://www.skinceuticals-me.com/en_AE/serums/HYALURONIC-ACID-INTENSIFIER-H.A./3606000436367.html), or [Theia Pearls](https://lubenipharmacy.com/products/theia-pure-hyaluronic-pearls-10s) with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration. I use a rich moisturiser from [CeraVe](https://www.amazon.ae/CeraVe-Moisturizing-Moisturizer-Hyaluronic-19/dp/B00TTD9BRC) or [Cetaphil](https://www.myaster.com/online-pharmacy/p/cetaphil-optimal-hydration-healthy-glow-daily-moisturizing-cream-for-dry-or-dehydrated-skin-48g/1055961) to seal in the serum's hydration. If I'm flying during the day, I protect my skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen from [Bioderma](https://www.binsina.ae/en/bioderma-photoderm-max-lait-famille-spf-50-family-sunscreen-milk-200ml.html) or [La Roche-Posay](https://www.myaster.com/online-pharmacy/p/la-roche-posay-anthelios-uvmune-400-spf50-invisible-fluid-50-ml/1048235). During the flight, I freshen up with the [Evian Facial Mist](https://www.spinneys.com/en-ae/catalogue/evian-brumisateur-50ml_23500/). I apply a hydrating eye cream from [Kiehl’s](https://www.sephora.ae/en/p/avocado-eye-cream-533957.html) to nourish the delicate eye area, and keep my lips moisturised with the [Avene Lip Repair](https://www.ounass.ae/shop-avene-cicalfate-lips-repair-balm-10ml-for-unisex-216997775_242.html) nourishing balm, reapplying as needed. Before landing, I cleanse my face with micellar water or a gentle facial wipe and reapply my moisturiser to refresh my skin. If desired, I touch up with some light make-up, such as a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. This routine is tailored to combat the drying effects of airplane cabins and can be adjusted based on skin type and the flight's duration. The focus is on hydration and protection to keep skin feeling its best during and after the flight.” Follow [@DrMalda](https://www.instagram.com/drmalda/) --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.me/Qo11N5JeNRmQEjT6lyFsTIWA6tc=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2024%2F07%2Fnew-me-editorial-300724-in-flight-skincare-dr-razan-kadry.png) ](https://www.instagram.com/drrazankadry/) ## Dr. Razan Kadry ### *Certified Dermatologist* “For optimal in-flight skincare, it's essential to address the effects of pollution on your skin. Using antiseptic sprays can help combat pollutants while simultaneously moisturising your skin, keeping it clean and hydrated. Additionally, to boost hydration, incorporate ceramide creams such as [CeraVe](https://ae.boots.com/en/buy-cerave-moisturizing-cream-dry-skin-hyaluronic-acid-50ml.html) and hyaluronic acid serums. These products will maintain your skin's health and radiance throughout the flight. I also like to use eye masks that depuff and a vitamin K eye cream like [Isdin K-Ox Eyes](https://www.watsons.ae/products/isdin-isdinceutics-k-ox-eyes-eye-cream-15ml?variant=43838420156660) to keep the area looking fresh. I also find that sheet masks help decrease the edema that often occurs, especially during long-haul flights. After using sheet masks, I recommend applying an antiseptic spray like [Clinisept+](https://www.amazon.ae/Clinisept-Cleansing-Antimicrobial-Procedure-Aftercare/dp/B0CJV2WJMZ) and following up with hydration using the [L’Oréal Hyaluron Expert Replumping Face Serum](https://www.amazon.ae/LOreal-Paris-Hyaluron-Expert-Replumping/dp/B08XKX1WJ8) or the [MartiDerm Hyaluronic Firm Pure Active](https://www.sweetcare.com/ae/martiderm-shots-hyaluronic-firm-pure-active-p-016554mr).” Follow [@DrRazanKadry](https://www.instagram.com/drrazankadry/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.me/-t2rQW_vppZjKpMxAcNcBTW4U6Q=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2024%2F07%2Fnew-me-editorial-300724-in-flight-skincare-dr-tara-bardawil.png) ](https://www.instagram.com/dr.tara.bardawil/) ## Dr. Tara Bardawil ### *Cosmetic & Medical Dermatologist* “At high altitudes, we are exposed to a significant amount of UV radiation, and UV rays are not completely filtered by glass or clouds, so sunscreen is essential. It's important to reapply every two hours to ensure continuous protection. Apply moisturiser as changes in the weather, the stress of flights and the climate on the airplane can dry out the skin. I recommend traveling without wearing make-up, as it allows your skin to breathe and reduces the risk of clogged pores. Drink lots of water, as it helps keep you refreshed, although it won’t significantly contribute to skin hydration. Additionally, frequently apply moisturiser on your hands to prevent them from drying out during the flight. I start by applying the [Cicaplast Baume B5 cream](https://ae.boots.com/en/buy-la-roche-posay-cicaplast-baume-b5-100ml.html) or the [Avene Cicalfate+ moisturiser](https://www.ounass.ae/shop-avene-cicalfate-cream-40ml-for-women-216297519_242.html), followed by an the [Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream](https://www.myaster.com/online-pharmacy/p/eucerin-hyaluron-filler-eye-cream-15-ml/1003991) to nourish the delicate area around my eyes. Next, I apply the [Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Age Daily SPF50+](https://www.myaster.com/online-pharmacy/p/vichy-capital-soleil-spf50-uv-age-daily-fluid-40-ml/1048234) sunscreen to protect my skin from UV rays, and I use a lip balm with SPF, like the [QV Lip Balm SPF30](https://ae.boots.com/en/buy-ego-qv-face-lip-balm-15g-spf-30.html) to keep my lips hydrated and shielded from the sun. Using a sheet mask is optional for me but when I do, I opt for hydrating and refreshing masks.” Follow [@Dr.Tara.Baradwil](https://www.instagram.com/dr.tara.bardawil/) *more from* Beauty [View All Beauty](/beauty) ![The Beauty Radar: September ](https://media.sheerluxe.me/zRxgcA7BeOY0JPYxjOyFovraFKk=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-me-site-assets-280926-thumbhero-beauty-radar.jpg) [Beauty](/beauty) / 29 September 2026 [## The Beauty Radar: September ](/beauty/the-beauty-radar-september-0) ![See Inside The Top LFW Make-Up Artists’ Kit Bags](https://media.sheerluxe.me/RVyTn-8PukQIQlIcquQuKzeAe34=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-email-220926-quick-turnaround-see-inside-top-make-up-artists-kit-bags-products-we-spotted.jpg) ![See Inside The Top LFW Make-Up Artists’ Kit Bags](https://media.sheerluxe.me/817F-xYJX-k73sKuZH9UeqNcx0U=/400x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-site-assets-220926-thumb-see-inside-top-make-up-artists-kit-bags-products-we-spotted-backstage-at.jpg) [Make-up](/beauty/make-up) / 22 September 2026 [## See Inside The Top LFW Make-Up Artists’ Kit Bags ](/beauty/make-up/see-inside-top-make-up-artists-kit-bags) ![The Best Beauty Tools For A More Sculpted Face & Body](https://media.sheerluxe.me/OYYDhvcpKsrBol1FOB5kIH-vVNY=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Fsl-me-site-assets-061026-x-beauty-tools-for-a-more-sculpted-face-body-hero-thumb.jpg) [Skincare](/beauty/skincare) / 06 October 2026 [## The Best Beauty Tools For A More Sculpted Face & Body ](/beauty/skincare/the-best-beauty-tools-for-a-more-sculpted-face-body) ![The Top-Performing Moisturisers Under SAR 250 ](https://media.sheerluxe.me/sXeRqESTlyC47-jKAL00Qbeg_p8=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-me-150926-site-assets-moisturisers-thumb.jpg) [Skincare](/beauty/skincare) / 15 September 2026 [## The Top-Performing Moisturisers Under SAR 250 ](/beauty/skincare/best-moisturizer) ![The Expert Guide To In-Flight Skincare ](https://media.sheerluxe.me/DhrHS-PK5hLiHJMvc7JrvgtBm9g=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fsl-me-site-assets-110826-thumb-in-flight-skincare.jpg) [Skincare](/beauty/skincare) / 11 August 2026 [## The Expert Guide To In-Flight Skincare ](/beauty/skincare/the-expert-guide-to-in-flight-skincare) Share This Story [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fbeauty%2Fskincare%2Fin-flight-skincare-tips-from-the-experts&t=In-Flight+Skincare+Tips+From+The+Experts) [ Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fbeauty%2Fskincare%2Fin-flight-skincare-tips-from-the-experts&description=In-Flight+Skincare+Tips+From+The+Experts&media=) [ WhatsApp ](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=In-Flight+Skincare+Tips+From+The+Experts+https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.me%2Fbeauty%2Fskincare%2Fin-flight-skincare-tips-from-the-experts) [ E-mail ]() DISCLAIMER: We endeavour to always credit the correct original source of every image we use.
