Why should you avoid wearing makeup while flying
Don’t get on a plane with makeup on, warns beauty influencer D the Korean.
“Being on a plane is one of the worst things you can do to your skin. Never use cosmetics on a plane. It dries out your skin and it becomes oily to compensate for the dryness. Your makeup will look pale,” he said.
Air quality, both on the ground and at 30,000 feet, is critical to healthy skin. Recently, researchers have found that various toxins that circulate in the air can cause irreparable damage to skin cells, break down collagen and cause premature signs of aging. The threat of harmful UV rays also increases when flying close to the Sun.
“Ultraviolet radiation is incredibly strong there, so I use sunscreen before and during the flight,” warned the former flight attendant in December of the year.
