When it comes to your skin on a plane, let's just say that flying is for the birds. Setting aside the fact that you’re probably wedged into a seat about the size of a toaster and sleeping sitting up is nearly impossible, your skin on a plane can be a serious problem, whether you’re stretched out in first class or fighting for the armrest (and an overhead bin—if your bag can fit inside of one) in economy.
So what exactly happens to your skin at 30,000 feet—and how the heck can you ease the damage from frequent (or not so frequent) flying? Top dermatologists explain the effects of airplane air on your skin, plus how to keep your face moisturized, calm, and, yes, even glowing on long-haul flights.
