Dry lips during your next flight? Not this time!!
During air travel, our lips often experience several changes due to the cabin environment, some of these are:
- Extreme dryness: Aircraft cabins typically maintain humidity levels of 10-20% (compared to the comfortable 40-60% we're used to). This low humidity rapidly draws moisture from your lips and we start feeling dry lips right away!
- Dehydration: The combination of dry air and reduced water intake during flights further dehydrates lips, making them more prone to cracking and peeling. We do not want that!
- Barrier disruption: The thin skin on lips lacks oil glands, making them especially vulnerable to environmental stressors. The dry cabin air can compromise this already delicate barrier.
- Increased sensitivity: Changes in cabin pressure can cause minor swelling and increased sensitivity in lip tissue.
- Accelerated chapping: The recycled cabin air accelerates evaporation from lip surfaces, often leading to chapping, cracking, and discomfort.
These effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes of flight time and worsen during longer journeys. WE can help you, I personally never travel with out our lip conditioner Saint Tropez at 11AM that has been meticulously crafted to nourish, hydrate, and plump your lips.
