We%26#39;re off to SF in 10 days and with no let-up in the restriction of cosmetics in your carry-on bag, I%26#39;m wondering how others cope. We have a 10 hour flight to Dallas, then another 4 or 5 hour flight to SF. With airport time, its going to be in excess of 18 hours with no lip salve or hand cream etc.
Has anyone any ideas how not to look like a dried up prune after so long in a dehydrating atmosphere?
I am assuming that airlines will supply water on demand, since normally I take my own, but how do people cope with dry lips and skin? Are airlines providing hand cream in the bathrooms?
I may have to resort to saving the butter pat from my dinner tray!
Long flights with no lip salve etc...
Prescriptives used to sell a moisturizer called Flight Cream, formulated for just this purpose for flight crew. You might want to check it out. Start hydrating now....and stay that way til you leave.
Have a great trip!

You can bring a stick lip balm, just not a gel or cream. I dont know if Chapstick is available in the UK - but that%26#39;s the type of thing that is allowed.
I cannot believe it, but yesterday in the business travel column of the NY Times the columnist claims the rules just changed again, and you can now bring 2 ounces of necessary liquids like contact lens solution and KY Jelly! I swear, the article specified KY Jelly. Not sure how that%26#39;s a necessary liquid unless you%26#39;re planning to Mile High, but this columnist usually knows what he%26#39;s talking about.
Someone in my office just made 3 RTP domestic flights and insists she had her cosmetics on every flight and even walked past security and onto the plane with a bottle of water on one flight. I know I wouldnt have that luck, but it seems they%26#39;re either loosening up, or typically arbitrary in their application of the rules.
You can actually bring chapstick once you%26#39;ve made it into the US. Im sure they sell it at an airport gift shop so you just have to brave the rlight over from the UK.
Dry skin, I think you may have to deal. Load up on moisturizer before you leave and hope for the best.
You wont shrivel up in 18 hours________drink lots of water and as Saks said I%26#39;m sure you can buy something once you hit DFW inside secure areas.
Have a good trip.

Unfortunately no chapstick, cosmetics or lotions of any kind..just got back from a flight to Glasgow...not even Blistex..( a teeny tube of over-the-counter cream for cold sores)
However, i%26#39;m not sure how they would detect one little plastic tube of salve in an x-ray machine, so i may even risk it and plead ignorance if they find it.
Thanks for all the great suggestions tho.
A ';friend'; suggested I claim medicinal reasons....without lippie i may frighten small children and the elderly...lol, I%26#39;m sure she meant it kindly!
Believe me the xray machines will detect your tiny little tube of whatever. Just returned from Costa Rica after beginning our trip on the first day of the restrictions...August 10th. Yes, they found my lipstick in the purse.........into the trash bin.
Some say that they have loosened up a bit, but maybe not for flights from UK to US?
good luck.
The way I understand it, the US has loosened up a bit on some of the restrictions. If you really want a laugh, they won%26#39;t allow make up, but they will however allow you 4 oz. of ';personal lubricant';. Wouldn%26#39;t want to prevent anyone from joining the mile high club!
Anyway, here it is, straight from the TSA website as to what is permitted within the US. There is a chart that tells you exactly what must be checked in and what may be carried on. I hope it will clear up a bit of the confusion.

We each brought a small pocket packet of kleenix and in the first 2-3 tissues we put a small bit of vasaline .for our last flight. It did help as my lips dry out very quickly and I also rubbed it into my hands.Not alot mind you,but it doesnt take much,,,,,,,,no one even paid attiention to the package of kleenix
budr, you%26#39;re brilliant!
