“Soaring with Little Ones: Flight Attendant Tips for Flying with Kids and Caring for Skin at 35,000 Feet”
Share
As flight attendants, you know that traveling with kids can be a rewarding yet challenging experience for passengers. The dry cabin air, high altitudes, and long flights take their toll on more than just patience—they can wreak havoc on skin health, both for the kids and the adults traveling with them.
Here are some top tips, from a flight attendant's perspective, on flying with kids and keeping your skin healthy and hydrated at the same time.
1. Stay Organized and Prepared
Flying with kids requires a lot of preparation, especially in terms of packing. Make sure to advise parents to carry a small bag filled with essential items like snacks, toys, and extra clothes. Keeping kids entertained can ease the journey for both the little ones and those around them.
When it comes to skincare, don’t forget to pack moisturizing essentials. The dry cabin air can quickly lead to irritated and parched skin, especially for younger passengers. Remind parents to bring along a hydrating face mist and a travel-sized lotion to keep skin smooth and hydrated throughout the flight.
2. Keep Them Hydrated
We all know that the cabin environment is extremely dehydrating, and this is especially important for kids. Encourage passengers to have their children drink water regularly throughout the flight. Dehydration doesn’t just affect mood and energy levels—it can also lead to dry skin.
For your skin health, keeping hydrated with Flight Wise Wellness' Hydrating Face Mist and Moisture Lock Cream can make a world of difference during long flights. These products are specially formulated to replenish moisture lost in high-altitude, low-humidity conditions.
3. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
For both passengers and crew, moisturizing is key. Long hours in a plane’s cabin can cause the skin to lose its natural glow. This is even more noticeable for flight attendants who spend their days flying back and forth across multiple time zones.
Flight Wise Wellness offers a range of skincare products designed to combat the effects of dry air. Our Flight Glow Moisturizer helps your skin maintain hydration during long flights, while the Altitude Relief Balm is great for quick touch-ups to keep skin smooth and protected from harsh cabin air.
4. Soothing the Little Ones
Many kids experience discomfort or fussiness due to changes in cabin pressure. Gentle skin massages with a calming lotion can help soothe them. If you find yourself helping out a stressed parent, recommending a quick skincare routine can offer a moment of calm for both the parent and the child.
These tips and Flight Wise Wellness products can help ensure that the journey is smoother for everyone—keeping kids happy and skin glowing!
