Mess-Free Masks That Are Perfect For Travel

Plane-Friendly Face Masks That Won't Make You Enemies on Your Next Flight

It's one thing to see photos of people masking on a plane on Instagram. It's another to actually try it in real life. Some masks just aren't turbulent-friendly: they could be packed with ultraslick serums that may cause it to slip and slide off of your face. The serums and creams may make their way onto your clothing, or worse, the clothing of a stranger next to you who is just trying to mind their business and get some sleep. Here are our picks for plane-friendly masks that require minimal effort, clean-up, and risk of making enemies on your next 17-hour flight.


Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Rose Gold Eye Masks

The Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Rose Gold Eye Masks ($25) are the blush take on the cult-favourite gold-foil eye masks. The ultrathin patches stick onto your face and lay comfortably while depuffing and diminishing any travel-induced under-eye darkness.

SK-II Overnight Miracle Masks

Miracle is the key word here. SK-II Overnight Miracle Masks ($105) soften and leave skin plump with moisture. The best part: the lack of clean-up required. Just spread the emollient gel across your face right before lift-off and throw the plastic containers away.

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Mask

Equipped with slits that tuck behind your ear and a completely dry texture, the Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Mask ($22) is the ultimate travel-friendly face mask. Activate the ingredients (like the many moisturising plant oils) by rubbing it. Full disclosure: this one *might* make you look like a serial killer, though we believe it's a small price to pay for supersoft skin.
