An expert explains how to avoid the dreaded “flight face.”

Gamble recommends scheduling a facial as close to your departure as possible, ideally the day before.

Its a surefire way to ensure you land with the glowy and clear skin of your dreams.

These methods are proven to deliver hydration and active ingredients deep into the skin, Gamble said.

Lymphatic facial massage is essential for looking your best, she said.

It boosts circulation, stimulates blood flow, and helps move excess fluid from the face to reduce puffiness.

This is why so many celebrities swear by lymphatic facial massage before hitting the red carpet.

Once youre on board, lock in your glow with a nourishing leave-on mask.

Your skin will absorb what it needs.

For longer flights, keep reapplying.

My top picks are the Sisley-Paris Black Rose Cream Mask and the MBR Hyaluron Mask.
