Travel can wreak havoc on skin, leaving it dehydrated and dull from recycled air, changing climates, and disrupted routines—and the Estée Lauder Skin Longevity Institute pop-up at South Korea’s Incheon Airport offers a timely rescue. Knowing that luxury consumers across generations desire experiences and services, Estée Lauder created an immersive, interactive showcase of the Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Age Reversal Eye Crème, and Re-Nutriv range. At the pop-up, travelers can treat themselves to sculpting facials and hand massages, and get a personalized digital portrait based on their iris patterns.
Additionally, Estée Lauder will be the first brand to partner with Korean Air’s First Class Lounge. For a limited time, travelers can refresh with Re-Nutriv skincare treatments before their flights at the Korean Airlines First Class lounge at Incheon Terminal 2.
