Alexa Chung's Skincare Routine Ep. 1 - In Flight (or at Home)

Welcome to Episode 1 of my Skincare Secrets series with my friend and skincare aficionado Rio Viera-Newton.
You can also follow Rio Viera-Newton on Instagram here:

Ok, I realise that the timing for this video couldn't have been any worse, as it's basically about skincare routines you can do on in-flight on a plane, which I think is probably not likely to be happening for any of us in the near future. However, upon reflection, all of these routines and tips can be applied, and indeed enjoyed, from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you might be stuck right now, dreaming of the day when you can board a plane and travel to a far-away place....
The question remains - Facemask: Friend or Foe? Let me know in the comments!

    Yes!! That is totally what I was thinking. Especially since the pressure and the cabin air can be so rough on your skin. I’ve heard you’re better off using a really thick moisturizer and adding sun screening before you get on, cleansing directly after you get off, and then adding a regular moisturizer and sunscreen again after.

Unless she is only travelling domestically within the USA and is TSA pre-approved (allowed additional liquids and to not empty their electronics blah-blah-blah) then the bottle/container must remain under 100ml/3.4fl.oz!! She IS talking nonsense. Also, don't do all of this on the plane. Nothing is clean. Stop touching everything. It's gross! :')

    Please no one do this on a plane. Planes are SO DIRTY, SO DRY. Prep skin with a hydrating routine before you fly and be sure to wear SUNSCREEN as you'll be closer to the the suns rays. After leaving the plane, wash the air gunk from the plane from your face and do your regular skin routine- finishing with sunscreen if it's daytime.

    Oh yeah, and one more thing I bring: a small, permitted size bottle of eye-safe micellar water like Bioderma Sensibio. That way, if I sleep on the plane or am just bleary when we arrive, I can use a clean tissue of my own and a dab of micellar water to freshen up my eyes before I have to go back out into the world. Sometimes I put some behind my ears too, or on my neck--it's a nice refreshing feel and much nicer than water out of the faucet in the germy lavatory!

    It's also a bad thing for your skin, you're not cleansing the makeup off well enough, probably getting more bacteria on your face even on business class + it's like doing your skincare in a desert. It's better to do it before and prep your skin before you come into desert conditions.

    I wonder how one might use the items just in the pantry or in general to keep skin healthy when below the poverty line at this time. So far this year have experimented with 🍯, egg, oat, 🍌, baking powder and coconut oil. Also began drinking tons of water, green tea and taking supplements and 🍊 juice and cleansing, massaging and moisturing my face day and night. I keep my massage tools and moisturizers on the area between the inside and outside of my window panes in my washroom and here in Canada that means free refridgeration 3/4 of the year. Thank you to these cool and creative cats for this lovely video, supporting each other and sharing healthy, eco-friendly products. This reminded me of my sweet and salty relationship with my sister. 🍀💕💞🦄😊🙏

    Cool routine. I can actually feel my eyes turn into red hearts when I see Alexs :). And her laugh is like: ah, thank you for that every time. (I swear I'm not a psycho just a little weird)

    I just love Alexa's coat. Where's is it from please? I can't see it on her website.

    Aloe Vera is the best option always.... i use creams with aloe vera and they make my skin healthier. Also i recommend you drink aloe vera! your skin shows what you eat. :) . Thank you for your videos Alexa.
