Summer holiday time is nearly upon us, and whether you’re long-hauling it to America or taking a European break, it can be tricky to maintain your desired level of glamour while 35,000 feet in the air.
With these essential items in your hand luggage, you’ll be stepping off the plane looking as groomed and polished as an A-list celebrity.
BED HEAD DUMB BLONDE SMOOTHING STUFF 50ml (hqhair.com) - £9.95
If your hair looks good, then everything else falls into place. This smoothing serum is perfect for rejuvenating tired tresses and getting rid of that ‘fallen asleep in a plane seat’ look. Although part of the dumb blonde range, this serum is suitable for all hair colours and is light and easy to use. It also adds moisture to the hair, so is perfect for in-flight hairdressing.
CLARINS EYE REVIVE BEAUTY FLASH 20ml (lookfantastic.com) - £23
Travelling makes everyone feel tired, even though, ironically, you spend most of your time sitting down. Puffy eyes are the biggest giveaway, so use this eye revive gel to firm the skin and take down any swelling. The cooling gel will also be refreshing and uplifting.
ELIZABETH ARDEN 8 HOUR CREAM 50ml (feelunique.com) - £19
It’s an oldie but a goodie - Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream is the ultimate multi-use moisturising addition to your make-up bag. The recirculated air pumped around an aircraft cabin dehydrates your skin, so it’s essential to max out on moisture. Great for face and lips, the cream can also be used for dry hands or elbows, in fact anywhere you feel the need.
LIP AND CHEEK STAIN BY 3 CUSTOM COLOR (cultbeauty.co.uk) - £15
A product with more than one use is super-handy when travelling, especially as this lip and cheek stain comes with its own mirror in the lid. The quickest way to make drained skin look fresh and dewy is by applying colour to your cheeks. You don’t have to go through the hassle of reapplying your foundation, a few simple sweeps across the cheeks and lips and you will look healthy and glowing.
AROMATHERAPEUTICS FLIGHT BOX (Fragrant Earth)
This collection of six aromatherapeutic sprays blended with essential oils, will help you to relax and stay fresh during your flight. From a lavender spray to reduce stress during take-off, through to an Orange Blossom face splash to revitalise before your glamorous exit off the plane, this set is a travel essential.
