Good to see you too!

I forgot-- I also take a travel size Vaseline with me. And Vaseline up my face to keep it hydrated!

But I find moisturizers with hyaluronic acid will exacerbate dryness. There is no moisture in the air on a flight-- so hyaluronic acid will suck the moisture out of your skin instead.

Good one, nemosmom! I’ve thought of those from time to time, probably would’ve seen some in the airport & regretted it, whether I was aware of not having them or if I paid a ridiculous price for them.

Im rethinking the Kiehls in light of the ingredient list.

You can definitely find alternatives, just trying to translate beauty speak for you! Also, Kiehl’s is pretty solid in their formulations and the first two scary sounding chemicals are usually plant derived and provide the gooey base. Everything after that is a readily decipherable naturally derived ingredient.

I’m seriously behind on this topic! I’ve just bought my first jar of anything moisturizing for my face. I have no idea if it’s doing any good, but at least it isn’t giving me zits as I was afraid it might. Much shorter ingredient list than the Kiehls, but more chemical. I haven’t compared carefully yet. I also got hydrating (Feuchtigkeits) masks to do with family members hanging out by the pool (& acne strips for the teens) and picked up samples at the pharmacy of what they recommend. I’m going to see if I can get samples of the Kiehls too. This is all new to me; any and all advice appreciated. Maybe I should start a new thread.

Sounds great! Have a great trip! The first thing folks will ask you when you do post is what kind of skin you have. If you get bored, you can do some research. I am no skin maven, my skin is sensitive and all I do is try not to irritate it. Others can likely provide a lot more assistance.
