How can air travel affect your body?
Flying can be exciting, but it also subjects the body to unnatural conditions: lack of… Flying induces a series of changes in the body due to simulated altitude, prolonged immobility, and low humidity in the environment. With the right knowledge and some preventive care, it’s possible to mitigate these effects and maintain well-being during and after the trip. Here’s how flying affects the body:
- Skin dehydration: The environment in an airplane is conducive to skin dehydration, as cabin pressure and the air conditioning system remove natural moisture. In addition, ultraviolet rays are not completely blocked by the airplane windows. To counteract this, it is essential to stay hydrated during the flight and use facial treatments that restore skin vitality. Don’t forget to use sunscreen to prevent further damage caused by exposure to UV rays.
- Decreased blood oxygen level: Aircraft cabins are pressurized to simulate an altitude of 1830 to 2438 meters. At these altitudes, the body absorbs less oxygen, which can lead to fatigue and reduced mental alertness. In addition, due to prolonged sitting time, blood circulation slows down, contributing to decreased oxygen levels.
- Accumulation of blood in the lower extremities: This phenomenon causes swelling of the feet and legs.
Key body treatments to recover after a flight
Flying can leave you with swelling, heaviness, dull skin, and fatigue. At Glow Beauty Puerto Banús, we offer three body treatments that combine effectiveness, relaxation, and visible results from the very first session.body treatments to recover after a flight
Lymphatic Drainage: Eliminates toxins and reduces swelling
After a flight, it’s common to feel swollen or heavy, especially in the legs and ankles. Lymphatic drainage is a manual treatment that gently stimulates the lymphatic system to eliminate retained fluids and toxins, improving circulation and providing an immediate feeling of lightness.
Benefits of lymphatic drainage:
- Promotes the elimination of toxins accumulated during the trip
- Improves the appearance of the skin and reduces inflammation
- Relieves the sensation of heavy legs and general fatigue
This massage is especially effective after long flights or during hot seasons, when fluid retention is more common. You can read more about how to combat it during summer in our post How to Eliminate Fluid Retention This Summer.
Pressotherapy: activates your circulation and releases tension
Have you noticed your legs feeling tired or heavy after flying? Pressotherapy is one of our most sought-after body treatments in Puerto Banús to improve circulation and relieve fluid retention caused by immobility during the flight.
What does pressotherapy achieve?
- It stimulates the venous and lymphatic systems
- Eliminates accumulated toxins
- Relaxes the muscles and relieves the feeling of heaviness
- Provides a feeling of well-being from the very first session
This treatment is not only ideal after flying but also for those looking for a non-invasive way to have light legs and firmer skin during the summer. You can learn more in our article Pressotherapy This Summer: Light Legs and a Firm Body.
