No matter what, food factors into everything I do.
Travel, work, play, politics, religion, health, business, family, love–you name it, my perspective is influenced by my relationship with food. No matter how distant the matter may be from food, some how I’ll work a tasty morsel into the subject line.
Even my pre-trip beauty regime is centered around food.
So before I leave for a trip to New Orleans* I thought I’d share with you a couple of food-based tricks I’ve found for keeping my skin happy and healthy before a long flight.
As you probably already know, taking a long flight can really dehydrate your skin. Drinking water is an obvious way to fight the affects of several hours in a pressurized cabin but moisturizing your skin before, during and after the flight is key. So now that I’m getting older and my face is prone to drying out rather easily, I make sure to do a super-moisturizing mask before I arrive at the airport.
So before you hop that flight, be sure to open up your fridge and grab a few key ingredients to make a moisturizing mask.
What you’ll need:
- Water
- Herbs (if you like an aromatic steam)
- Honey (crystalized honey is even better)
- Sour Cream
