I'm a beauty expert - this is the flight-proof skincare routine you should ALWAYS stick to
A beauty expert has revealed ways to fend off the negative effects travel can have on your skin - including dehydration after a long flight and SPFs that'll minimise sun damage while you're on the beach. Franchesca Villar, Beauty Editor at Cosmetify, has created her ultimate guide to better holiday skin, including a flight-proof skincare regime to ensure travellers arrive at their destination looking and feeling fresh. Research by Cole Dermatology suggests that plane cabins often have moisture levels beneath 20 per cent; the expert says just getting in the air could put you on a one-way ticket to dry skin. She explains: 'This dryness can cause skin dehydration, making it feel tight and uncomfortable. When the skin loses hydration, it becomes flaky and irritated, something you'll likely want to avoid on holiday.' Here, Villar lists how to approach every stage of your holiday to ensure your skin looks fabulous while away. BEFORE YOU BOARD Villar says that prep in advance of a flight, particularly a long-haul one, can make all the difference to how your skin feels when you land. She explains: 'A flawless complexion starts before boarding, so preparing in advance can be the perfect way to ensure you feel and look radiant on your holiday. 'Having a base routine that involves deep hydration, gentle exfoliation, and skin-loving nourishment before will keep that glow going strong.' It's all about replenishing moisture when you're 30,000 ft in the air too. She says: 'Flying zaps moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and dull. Layer hydration before boarding with a rich moisturiser, hydrating serum, and facial mist to lock in moisture.'

'Sheet masks may seem like a travel luxury, but cabin air can cause them to dry out faster, pulling moisture from your skin rather than replenishing it. 'A better alternative?
