Olivia Munn's travel secret for radiant skin
The actress keeps her skin hydrated on long flights – here's her secret weapon and more great options!
One of the simplest ways to give your beauty routine a boost and to make your skin looks its best is to use a hydrogel mask – a treatment that Olivia Munn loves. These masks have become popular thanks to their molecular structure as hydrogel is able to hold large amounts of water which evaporates during application. This cools the treated area and effectively releases the active ingredients so they are absorbed by osmosis into the skin.
There are masks on the market with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and even gold. They also have a range of actions, such as anti-aging or to add luminosity, hydrate, nourish, relax or lighten the skin. Scroll through to find out Olivia's favorite mask and more suggestions of similarly impressive hydrogel masks so you can find your own beauty savior.
Olivia's favorite mask
Olivia told Us Weekly that she's a huge fan of Lancôme hydrogel masks, which she uses during long flights. For a flash effect treatment, Lancôme Genifique Hydro Mask Inter ($23.99) is ideal since it's designed to instantly revitalize the skin. It's suitable for all skin types since it is based on patented Advanced Genifique technology, with probiotic extracts for a luminous, uniform and rejuvenated complexion.
For an evening out, it's best to apply this before makeup to recover the brightness your skin has lost during the day. You can also leave it on for 30 minutes before bedtime to enhance the restorative benefit of sleep.
To reduce fine lines
The Cala Gelamour Hydrogel Mask ($21.99) helps reduce wrinkles by boosting cell regeneration for radiant, revitalized skin. Made with cutting-edge European skincare technology for maximum moisturizing and nourishment, it also closes pores, refreshes irritated skin and lifts tired faces.

It effectively calms, moisturizes and nourishes thanks to powerful active ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties.

Korean Glowing Skin Gold Dust Hydrogel Face Mask ($5.99) is enriched with natural extracts to increase the skin's luminosity.
