14 sheet masks to use the next time you’re on an airplane, because you need to live your best life
One of the worst feelings is airplane face.
That very specific feeling when your skin hits an altitude of 39,000 feet and all that’s left of your glow is a dry and hollowed out carcass. At least that’s certainly how it can feel, which is why sheet masks are a must-have for anyone boarding a plane this holiday season.
On top of babying your skin, wearing a sheet mask pairs fabulously with an overpriced airplane wine and whatever emotionally taxing in-flight movie you’re tuning into.
If you don’t enjoy being conscious for the beautiful and existential experience of flying, you can doze off in your sheet mask and wake up with skin that doesn’t look like it’s sped across the country in a flying metal contraption. Hey, you need to live your best life and that includes keeping your skin plump and hydrated.
So, in order to help you stay fresh on your travels, we’ve rounded up some of our absolute favorite sheet masks.
