If you are on a long flight (over 6 hours of traveling time) then it could be beneficial to use a cream-based mask. If it’s a shorter flight, I would just leave the skin as is, and treat it post-flight. That’s a great question.

No, silicones do not cause acne and are very breathable. On the other hand, Petrolatum and Mineral Oil also can have the same plastic wrap effect but we find them not to be breathable and find they can cause breakouts. --Lydia Silicones (those found in makeup primers and skin care products) create a barrier (like plastic wrap) to prevent water from evaporating out of the skin when in a dry environment, like an airplane.
