In-Flight Facial
Treat your skin to some first class care as you head off on holiday. Here are a few products to beat breakouts, puffiness and dehydration after take-off...
Flying can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving you looking and feeling less than refreshed on landing. Flying can cause swelling, dehydration and water retention. Besides resisting alcohol, fizzy drinks and salty snacks on board - sip water instead and move around the cabin.
Before applying any hydrating products it's important to cleanse. I don't recommend putting anything on top of makeup as it will not penetrate the skin. Instead, it will sit on top of debris encourage blemishes. If you don't get the chance to take your makeup off before you board, try using This Works In Transit No Traces cotton cleansing pads £18. Infused with rose water and water mint, they cut through waterproof mascara yet are gentle to use all over your face and neck.
To counteract fluid retention pop the MZ Skin Tone & Lift Germanium Countering Facial Roller £59 into your bag. Run it all over your face and its acupressure pods apply light pressure, designed to boost circulation, reduce puffiness and increase radiance.
Finally, you may not be on the beach, but you should wear sunscreen on a flight. Ultraviolet radiation at the altitude is more damaging to skin than when you're on the ground, especially if you have a window seat, SPF is a must. Try Bare Minerals Skin Longevity Vital Power Moisturizer SPF 30 £35 is a lightweight moisturizer with a mineral sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays.

Low humidity can dry your skin as today's airplanes have very low cabin humidity, usually ranging from 5-15%. We're more accustomed to around 50% in our homes. Try discreet hydrating eye patches, such as Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra Gel Eye Masks £50.50 for 6 and a hydrating lip balm from Clarins Hydrating Essential Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm £19.50
