Maybe you don’t know, but when you travel, especially traveling by airplane, can damage your skin. Here there are 18 simple rules to follow, and you’ll definitely see the difference.

1. Moisturize
Apply intense moisturizer the night before you are going to fly. This will help increase hydration in your skin before you’re exposed to the dehydrating effects of cabin pressure.
2. Do not apply Foundation
Wear only moisturizer. Or just apply a tinted moisturizer for a fresh, healthy look.
3. Love Your Naked Lashes
Avoid wearing mascara while traveling, “If you take a little nap, you’ll probabily wake up and find the mascara has left a migratory trail down to my cheeks.” I also suggest skipping cream eye shadows, which have a tendency to move around on your face as you snooze.
4. Keep Your Hands Off Your Face
To minimize breakouts while you’re on vacation, avoid touching your skin while you travel. “You can pick up any number of unknown bacteria that can result in any number of skin problems after you arrive,” says Welch, a professor of dermatology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. If you’re going to apply makeup while you’re in transit, Welch says use an antibacterial hand wash on your hands first to further protect your skin.
