<p>You best believe we&#x27;re jumping for joy that travel overseas is a reality once again! After two years of not being able to hop on a plane, we can safely assume that all of us are just desperate to go on a foreign vacation once again! The excitement of planning, packing for a trip, actually being on a plane, and arriving in an unfamiliar city just gives us the right kind of energy. As some of us are still in the process of finally booking that plane ticket, we&#x27;ve got our eyes peeled for those who have gone on foreign travels ahead of us, such as celebrities and friends. Seeing their snaps just gets us into the mood!</p><div><br/></div><p>Just recently, a group of Star Magic artists flew to the United States for their 30th anniversary tour, with the likes of Belle Mariano, Donny Pangilinan, Kim Chiu, Maymay Entrata, and Alexa Ilacad flaunting their shots on Insta for all of us to see. One particular post that caught our eye is that of Alexa Ilacad, where she shows off her bare-faced goodness, glowing in her own skin, sans heavy makeup! </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5836bab5-fd09-4e33-9800-88bdecbd1435_296595007_1064309700845620_5446799328929955144_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Alexa Ilacad on a plane to the US for the Star Magic 30th US Tour<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> @alexailacad  </em></span></span></span></span></div><p>The actress sure knows it&#x27;s best to travel with no makeup on, for there&#x27;s the risk of clogging pores and drying out her skin! We all know that traveling on a plane, especially if it&#x27;s a long-haul flight, can dehydrate skin, as the air on the plane is re-circulated. If you don&#x27;t want to arrive at your destination looking haggard, you&#x27;ve got to treat your skin right with the right products in your carry-on bag! Apart from avoiding alcoholic drinks and getting enough shuteye, hydrating with the right products is key. You&#x27;ve also got to pack some R&amp;R essentials like aromatherapy oils, dry shampoo, cleansers, and patches while you&#x27;re at it!</p><div><br/></div><p>While the 100 ml rule for liquids in carry-on baggage may prove to be a challenge, you can always take advantage of travel-sized picks, or refillable containers that allow you to leave the full-sized product at home, and just bring with you the necessary amount. In the gallery below, we&#x27;ve gathered our top airplane beauty picks, so you too can start stocking up for your upcoming flight. Bon voyage, and happy shopping!</p><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/64edc535-178f-4722-84e1-083395261807_galleryalexailacadplane.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b33a5dd6-6bc3-4cc9-8ae6-6d47c71828d9_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.06.11 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9d881a4b-ab00-42aa-85fe-3476a07fc169_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.07.16 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c931431d-8ffb-4561-813c-e5510c178e26_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.09.11 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ab4e31c5-9a16-4b95-ae91-5afaa8095f62_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.11.19 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c53a38f3-a226-434b-a80a-42cea5265a90_happy skin overnight calming cream.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7b19c822-dc6d-4275-a69d-de30ef630356_happy skin invisible pimple patch.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2eb0b8a2-7477-4f98-9e18-2ca7dd143ee7_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.28.57 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/40488ae9-9f98-44e0-be2a-f55a42be4ec2_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.40.15 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d2bb0f94-82a5-4bfd-bb61-6b1a5ce3a5ef_screen shot 2022-08-05 at 4.42.33 pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/602b44d8-0540-4f62-9628-a5e741d7c370_issy and co. phyto-complex skin mist.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Pili Ani Essential Oil Blends Travel Kit - We&#x27;re big believers of essential oils, and they&#x27;re a great companion for travel.
