Ryanair Urges Passengers to Skip In-Flight Skincare, Social Media Users Reply With Jokes
Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has asked passengers on its Facebook page to stop doing skincare routines on board. The post drew a wave of humorous replies from users.
Ryanair, the Irish low-cost airline known on social media for its biting humour, has weighed in on a popular beauty trend: doing facial skincare routines during a flight. In a post on its Facebook page, the airline urged passengers to give it up, saying it is only a two-hour flight. The post drew many responses from users.
A trend dermatologists warn about
For several years, bloggers and celebrities have promoted various facial skincare treatments to be done in the air. Dermatologists warn that this can do more harm than good.
Aviation experts have repeatedly noted that the dry air in an aircraft cabin can cause skin to lose a significant amount of moisture. Even so, most specialists advise against carrying out skincare routines during a flight.
Users answer with the same phrase
Social media users did not let the airline have the last word and reused its wording. One commenter told the airline to stop measuring hand luggage with a ruler as if national security depended on it. Another user asked cabin crew to smile. One woman joked that skincare is the only luxury she can afford on that flight, while another passenger asked whether the airline plans to charge extra for in-flight skincare.
Another user suggested the airline stop scheduling flights at six in the morning, so that she would have time to get ready before departure. Some commenters admitted they do care for their facial skin in the air, especially when a loved one is waiting for them at the airport.
