LONDON — It’s no secret that flying can wreak havoc on your skin. Traveling at 30,000 feet can be seriously drying – which is why there is a growing trend on social media for people showing off elaborate, multi-step skincare…
Why this matters in The Waco
For Waco residents who frequently travel for business or leisure, the effects of flying on skin health are a pressing concern. As the Waco airport continues to expand its flight offerings, locals may find themselves exposed to the drying conditions of air travel more often. The trend of sharing skincare routines on social media may inspire some to take extra precautions before and after their flights. Local dermatologists and skincare professionals in McLennan County may see an increase in clients seeking advice on how to mitigate the effects of flying on their skin. By being aware of the potential risks and taking proactive steps, Waco travelers can better protect their skin and maintain a healthy glow, even at 30,000 feet. This is particularly relevant for frequent flyers who travel for work or to visit loved ones, and who want to look and feel their best upon arrival.
