No one wants more wrinkles, a stuffy nose or red eyes when meeting friends, business associates or loved ones at the end of a long flight. Yet the three areas of the body most vulnerable to travel dehydration are skin, eyes and nose.
Dry Skin Treatments
Begin preparing facial skin to withstand the harsh environment of airline cabins a week before the flight. Exfoliate, apply hydrating face and eye masques and moisturize with vitamin-rich creams. Drink plenty of the right fluids. Water cleanses and hydrates the body while fruit juices help retain the moisture. Avoid alcohol, caffeinated teas and coffee and soft drinks with high levels of sodium. These beverages pull water from skin cells and accelerate dehydration.
