This time I’m going to write about my skincare and makeup when I’m going on an airplane. I actually decided to put a pause to my time in Australia and have came back to Japan. I don’t have any idea when I’m going to go back or anything like that. Of course I used a plane to come back, so I thought it is the best time to introduce you to my skincare and makeup on the plane. I go on the plane more than once a year, so I think I’m a little bit familiar with it. The current routine is really good with my current skin, but I’m open to any recommendations so please let me know.
First of all let me explain my current skin. My skin type is combination and my T-Zone is a little bit oily. Also, I am very lucky and rarely get acne or breakouts. I have lived overseas for a long time, so I’m used to going out without any makeup. So the skincare and makeup routine I’m about to share, is not that much of a makeup routine. I have no experience of going somewhere directly from the airport too, so I always go on the airplane with very minimum makeup. Also I normally try to get on the plane early in the morning or late at night. This time I took a morning flight to come back to Japan. (However, there is only two flights back to Tokyo and there is not that much difference…)
To start, I will go into my skincare routine. This routine starts from before I go to the airport and at my house or hotel. When I’m going from my house, I normally take a quick shower at the very last moment. If I don’t take a shower, I will wash my face and make sure my face is clean. From there I do my normal skincare routine. First I use a mild toner and do a face mask. I will use any face mask that I prefer at that moment, but I normally tend to go for something hydrating or soothing. While I have my face mask on, I will proceed on hydrating my body. Most people tend to moisture their face and lips, but it is crucial that you moisturize your body as well, so I use a body oil for that. When I’m done with my face mask, I use a light cream and make sure I rather on enough sunscreen. I always use SPF50 and the most moisturizing sunscreen that I have. And this brings me to the end of my skincare routine before I arrive to the airport.
Next is makeup. As I wrote at the very start, I tend to go to a lot of places without any makeup. So, I go to the airport pretty much without any makeup. So this routine is going to be very simple and quick. First I want to put some color into my skin so I start with brush. I always use a cream cheek for this and recently I have been loving the ones from NARS and CHANEL. I don’t do this every time but sometimes I curl my lashes and put on clear mascara. This time I was just going back to my house so I didn’t do it. Then it is just lips from here. I always like carrying more than one lip product with me. What you will always see with me in the airport is “Lip Glow” from Dior. I love this product so much that I have so many different colors of it. The choice of color normally is Raspberry or Berry but it changes from time to time. Another one is a normal lipstick. This really varies from time to time, but it is frequently a pink nude glossy lipstick. The criteria are that the color needs to look good with my no makeup look and that it moisturizes the lips well. These days I started to have one more lip product with me and it is the “Lip Butter Balm” from Summer Friday. I have so many colors for this as well, so I choose what I’m feeling for that specific day. And this is everything that I bring with me on the plane as well. With this, this is also the end of my makeup routine for flights. (Even though it didn’t really seem to be a proper makeup routine…)
From here the scene changes to inside the plane. And it is my in-flight skincare routine. First of all as I wrote, I have done a deep skincare before I get on the plane. And normally I do a good skincare routine that night as well. I normally am on Economy class, so I prefer not to do so much skincare. The time I do my skincare is about 1 hour before we land and I do it in the bathroom. First I clean my hands and wash my face with water. Then I use a serum and cream. I use both sample size for my serum and cream. I don’t really care about the serum, but for cream I choose something moisturizing. Then I reapply my sunscreen, and lastly I wash my hands and my skincare routine in the bathroom is done. Other than this, I only bring a moisturizing mist. I always have the “Beauty Elixir Mist” from Caudalie, and I love not only the moisture it gives but also the refreshing scent it has. This is the end of my in-flight skincare routine.
Now I will introduce you to all my skincare, cosmetics, and beauty products that I bring with me on the flight all at once. For skincare, a sample size serum and cream, normal size sunscreen, sunscreen stick and mist. I sometimes have a single-use serum just in case. Next is my cosmetics, which is just my cheek and lips. Also, I do have a stick product that allows me to take extra oil from my face. Other beauty products I have with me are hand cream, hair brush, hair mist, eye drop, hand sanitizer, and mini perfume. I always have hydration as my priority when I choose any products.
This is the end of my in-flight skincare and makeup routine. I don’t really think it has been any help to anyone, but I hope it has helped someone out there. Also I would love to hear everyone’s skincare and makeup routine for flights. I will like to write about what I do during the flights some time soon. As always I will be waiting for request as well.
