In reply to Claire. Claire, I would reapply sunscreen every two hours or so on a plane just because you're so close to the sun up there. For everyday, it really depends on how much time you spend in the sun or near windows. UV rays degrade UV filters, making them ineffective after a while. The more time you spend in the sooner, the quicker the degradation process happens. So if it's summer and you're spending quite a bit of time outdoors/working near windows, reapply. If it's winter, you can barely see the sun and don't venture outdoors, there's no need to. Experts must tell you to reapply every 2 hours but the truth is you have to exercise your own judgment.

In reply to Gio. I have been falling on this myth that anything skincare products applied after sunscreen will not be absorb by the skin as sunscreen (both chemical & physical) creates a protection preventing them from entering! That was what my demologist told me, sign. I'm so glad that I have found your blog, gave me more confidence on how to use my products properly. I will definitely reapply The ordinary HA and Argon Oil whenever my face is dehydrated! Oh, do I need to reapply my sunscreen after doing so? How about the normal days, are we supposed to reapply our sunscreen every 2-3 hours regardless of indoor/outdoor?

In reply to Claire. Claire, I don't wear makeup on long haul flights so I just apply my skincare as normal on top of sunscreen.

Hi Gio, may I know how do you reapply your hyaluronic acid and moisturizer on top of your sunscreen and makeup during your flight?

In reply to JD. JD, that's so rude! I agree, keeping it simple and preparing well before a flight, especially if you don't have the chance to retouch your skincare, is key.

Keeping it simple is definitely how I do it. I personally do not like to remove make-up and applying skin care products during a long haul flight, especially since I sit in coach/economy where there is not enough space to do them without bothering my neighbor. I’ve sat beside a woman who removed her make-up at the beginning of the flight and then did her makeup before we landed – the problem was her elbow kept hitting me, her containers kept falling out of the backseat tray, and her mist ended up on my face (I had to tell her not to use mist with scent or perfume because some people can be allergic to it). Before leaving home, I double the amount of hydrating lotion I use on my face. I also use a tinted moisturizer or a tinted moisturizing sunscreen so that it’s easier to re-apply. I do not use foundation and use lesser make-up overall. I also drink a lot of water during the flight.
