Selena Gomez's TikTok is the gift that keeps giving. It first started making waves when Selena used it to showcase her next-level evening skincare routine, which involves removing make-up with an achingly expensive serum - La Mer we're looking at you. Not long after Selena, like swathes of other beauty-obsessed TikTokers, tried out influencer Meredith Duxbury's foundation application technique. Whether spotlighting her skincare credentials, viral TikTok trends or Rare Beauty's wildly popular bestsellers, Selena's videos can always be relied upon to reel in the views.

In Selena's latest TikTok, the 30-year-old star walks us through her pre-flight skincare routine and it involves seven different beauty products.

Some may call a routine like this excessive, but when you consider what happens to your skin while onboard a plane, and how many flights Selena likely takes in a year, it all starts to make sense. Flights are notorious for wreaking havoc on our complexions, thanks to low humidity and air pressure, dry cabins and recycled air, our skin can be left dehydrated and more prone to increases oil production and breakouts. Keeping an arsenal of skincare products on hand throughout the flight is key, but prep like Selena's counts for a lot too.
