Stars, they're just like us. Selena Gomez woke up early this weekend for a 6 a.m. flight and took to TikTok to share her (extremely) early morning routine.

Gomez walked us through the products she prioritizes before boarding, taking extra care to douse her face in moisture. Remember, the air on planes can be extremely drying, so it's extra important to take good care of your skin before and after a flight—no matter how long the wheels-up-to-wheels-down time is.

If you want to level up your next flight experience, we've compiled Gomez's entire travel routine below. While we may not get the kind of luxe cabin experience that Gomez shared at the end of the TikTok, we can at least have glowing skin.

Mario Badescu Skin Care

Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater

Gomez starts by spritzing on this brightness-boosting spray to help wake herself up.

Is Clinical

Cleansing Complex

Gomez follows with this cleanser, which is both gentle and resurfacing. It is genuinely the only cleanser you ever need in your routine.

Rare Beauty

Hydrating Under Eye Patches

While Gomez continues her skincare routine, she pops on these patches to de-puff, hydrate, and revive her under-eyes—perfect for faking the look of a full night's sleep.

Dermalogica

Multi-Active Toner

Gomez follows up with this toner, which has aloe and moisture-binding sodium PCA to hydrate and soothe skin.

The Inkey List

Reusable Cotton Pads

Reusable cotton pads are the best way to smooth on toner.

Dermalogica

Smart Response Serum

Next up, Gomez uses this serum that reacts to your skin's needs thanks to four actives that respond when triggered. Since traveling can be so unpredictable, this is the perfect pre-travel necessity.

Dermalogica

Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum

We typically only reach for retinol at night, but when you know you'll be sleeping (with blinds shut!) on a plane, it's a smart way to multitask your skincare as long as you make sure your skin is moisturized too. This retinol is formulated with squalane and beta-glucan, which help ensure plenty of moisture.

Rare Beauty

Positive Light Under Eye Brightener

Gomez dots on this under-eye brightener for visibly brighter under-eyes in a pinch.

Rare Beauty

Always an Optimist 4-in-1 Prime & Set Mist

The finishing touch? This hydrating face mist to seal everything in.
