Traveling is basically a nightmare for your skin. An early start often means that you don’t have the luxury of time to go through your unabridged skincare routine before leaving. You can be traveling for up to a day without a moment to apply creams, plus the dry air of a long-haul flight — there’s just no let-up.

By the time you arrive at your destination, your skin is crying out for replenishment. There’s no quicker way to satisfy its need than with Aesop products.

With the help of Aesop, we’ve pieced together a streamlined yet highly effective team of skincare products. From the brand’s Parsley Seed formulas to a versatile Geranium Leaf Duet, this selection proves that you don’t need a wash bag bursting at the seams to rehydrate and replenish properly after a long flight.

So, for the sake of your skin, keep scrolling to see our four essential Aesop products for post-flight skin paradise.
