In-flight beauty: travel essentials
Plane travel is known to wreak havoc on your skin. From stale, recycled air pumping through the cabin to the changes in air pressure, too often we are left with dull, dehydrated, puffy skin with the chance of an imminent breakout.
Luckily, being thousands of miles in the sky gives you the opportunity to give your skin the all-important TLC it needs to dismount the plane with a healthy, fresh glow.
From hero balms that work on everything from cuticles to lips, to the clever in-transit hacks used by celebrities, we've rounded up the products most likely to be found in the carry ons of skin savvy, yoga-practicing, cashmere tracksuit-wearing flyers.
Bon voyage!
This slide is full of clever little hacks that'll make your flight considerably more comfortable. De Mamiel's altitude oil is a multi-tasking elixir that is both calming and invigorating and is a favourite amongst savvy flyers. Coconut oil and paw paw ointment are multi-purpose too, and can be used on both skin, nails and hair – ideal if you (sensibly) don't want to carry a bucket load of products onto the plane.
The lack of humidity in aeroplanes can cause dry and (very) painful nostrils. Top tip? Turn a muslin cloth into a mini humidifier by dipping it in hot water and holding it under your nose. Leonard DiCaprio also swears by dabbing Neosporin cream around the rim of his nostrils to avoid getting sick.
