The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask has had a chokehold on the beauty community for years now, and rightfully so. I’ve lost count of the amount of vanities where the blue aluminum tube has been spotted. Since the creation of the viral de-puffing mask back in 2018, the collection has slowly expanded thanks to its ability to make your skin look depuffed even if you didn’t get off a 22-hour cross-country flight. I’m sure you’ve also seen their Lip Butter Balms all over your feeds, which are truly unmatched within the lip care arena, in my humble opinion.
Recently, the brand added the Jet Lag Eye Overnight Eye Serum earlier this year in March and now they’re back at it once again with two latest additions to the viral portfolio: the Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist and Deep Hydration Serum.
Ahead, you’ll find all of the details about the two new products and our honest thoughts about the launches in full detail.

The Testing Process:
Being a huge fan of the Jet Lag Mask, I was interested in seeing if these additions to the range were worth the hype and if my skin felt as hydrating and soft after I used the mask. So, I opened up the boxes and started reading up on the ingredients.
I started with a clean face, and washed off all of my prior skincare, makeup, and sunscreen with The Cleanse: Foaming Facial Cleanser. (Side note: it truly does an incredible job of making sure every drop of makeup is off of my face without stripping my face and making my skin feel super tight.) Now that my face was bare, it was time to get testing.

After cleansing and resetting your skin, it's crucial to lock in those benefits with a hydrating face moisturizer.

Infused with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, this mask ensures your skin stays hydrated and nourished, even during flights.

My Thoughts on the Jet Lag Serum:
Interestingly enough, this serum was previously launched in March 2022 under the name Dream Oasis Deep Hydration Serum, and they came out with a new formula under the new name: Jet Lag Deep Hydration Serum. It is supposed to have the same signature lightweight jelly-serum texture but was created to fit in within the Jet Lag Collection, which is known for its super hydrating, soothing properties. I haven’t tested out the previous iteration of the serum so I can’t compare the two but here are my initial thoughts of the new and improved product.
I typically only use super hydrating serums at night since I have oily skin but I decided to try it during the day.
The texture was very lightweight and glided onto my skin easily. I liked that it was fragrance-free as personally most fragrances irritate my skin and cause redness. You can immediately feel the moisture locking into your skin which is great if you have ultra dry skin.
I will say that in the future, I will probably be wearing this serum at night vs the day since I don’t like being super dewy in the daytime. I recommend doing the same if you have oily skin as well!
My Thoughts on the Jet Lag Mist:
After applying the serum, I followed up with the mist for an extra dose of moisture. I held the product about 12 inches away from my face as recommended and sprayed 4-5 times to cover my entire face. As the marketing promised, it felt extra dewy and I liked the texture of it as it was super fine and lightweight. Between the two products, I did find myself gravitating more towards this one and using it more often because of how refreshing it felt during the day.
I tried it a few times over my makeup as well (only 1-2 mists!) and it felt like it helped perk up my skin when it was feeling tired or lackluster.
The Final Results
I would recommend both products to someone who is looking for an extra dose of hydration. The serum feels very light on the skin, if you don’t want to be super dewy, you can go in with just one pump. I continued using the mist during the day when I needed a little pick-me-up or felt like my skin needed some hydration. If your skin errs on the oily side, I would use the serum specifically at night to really lock in the moisture while you sleep.
I now keep the mist next to my computer when I work because it’s a nice way to wake up my skin mid-day. I don’t necessarily feel like you have to pair both products together if your skin isn’t on the dry side but they do pair well when used in tandem. Overall, both products deliver on their promises with a refreshing skincare routine that packs a punch with hydrating ingredients.
