For a beauty lover, planning your in-flight skin-care routine is taken almost as seriously as packing your suitcase for the rest of the trip. Packing essentials like cleansers, moisturizers, and serums can feel like a never-ending puzzle, with the challenge of deciding what goes in your carry-on for easy access and what goes in checked baggage. But for on-the-go pros like American gymnast Sunisa “Suni” Lee, in-flight lifesavers like lip balms, moisturizers, and eye masks are absolute must-haves.
Heading to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, Lee has a simple yet effective four-step routine that’s perfect for any travel situation (and eczema-friendly, as the athlete has been open about her experience with the skin condition). In a TikTok video, the Olympic gold medalist is seen enjoying a meal fit for champions before diving into her travel skin-care regimen. She kicks things off by refreshing her face with Celimax’s Ji Woo Gae One-Step Mild Cleansing Pads. Following that, she uses cult-loved, go-to products from brands like Summer Fridays and Peter Thomas Roth.
