When you’re in the air, the skincare guru suggests a few essentials to include as you sit back, relax and enjoy your flight.
“I always travel with me Facial Sculpting Wand and use it when I’m on board. It really helps combat puffiness from flying and will keep your face sculpted. I also usually wear eye masks to hydrate my under eyes. “When I take off the eye masks, I put on my eye cream and I like to use it with a wand to help the product penetrate deeper,” she shares.
Next, it’s time to reapply your sunscreen.

And even if you’ve landed in a cold climate, it’s important to keep SPF on hand.
“Everyone is always trying to reverse the signs of aging, however, you can prevent brown spots, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles by protecting your skin from the sun, which includes wearing sunscreen regardless of the weather,” explains Darden.
Finally, don’t let your jet lag hit you before you finish your nightly routine.
