Don’t Get On A Plane Without These 6 Items
Let’s be honest here, unless you’re a Kardashian-West, there’s nothing luxurious about flying.
You can Instagram your little monogrammed LV passport holder all you like, and dream of getting an upgrade, but the reality is as soon as your flight is called, you know you’re headed to Row 89 E, right next to the guy with a drinking problem.
Thankfully, we’ve got your back, and with a little trip to the beauty counter, we’ve rounded up six essentials that guarantee to inject some much-needed sanity into your flight. Just add to your customs-approved snap-lock bag and go. You’ll thank us at the other end, we promise.
Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil
This little bottle of certified organic radiance, applied at take-off (just a few drops), will not only help to lock in moisture, but also work hard to reduce fine lines, naturally. And don’t let the “oil” part turn you off – this particular rosehip oil has a low-level slick factor, no high-shine here.
L’Occitane Crème Mains Dry Skin Hand Cream
There’s a reason one of these guys is sold every 3 seconds around the world, because put simply, it’s the Mac Daddy of all hand creams. This shea-butter rich cream can be used on the body as well, but we love it on a flight because it smells…clean – like fresh baby powder. We guarantee that when you’re on a packed flight, this will make you feel human again. Also, side note – comes in a 30ml, perfect for travel. BOOM.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat
Don’t be that guy and wear a full face of makeup on or off the flight. It’s not necessary and p.s. you’re not doing your skin any favours. Instead, arrive looking fresh via our trusted friend, Touche Éclat. Seriously, all it takes is a few strokes under the eyes, around the nose and chin and you’ll look all Miranda Kerr, don’t care.
Banjo and Matilda Jet Setter’s Eye Mask
Hands up if you love sleep. Yeah, us too. This silk/cashmere mask from Banjo & Matilda is a 10/10 and your ticket to First Class dream land. You’ll never go back.
La Mer The Moisturizing Lotion
Think of this as the lighter, little sister of the iconic Crème de la Mer- which, of course, makes it perfect for travel. It’s your antidote to “plane face” aka dry, dehydrated, cactus skin….yeah, thanks dry cabin air. This is lightweight, but don’t let that fool you, The Moisturising Lotion hydrates like nothing else and gives you the kind of glow that many would think was impossible mile high.
Chanel Hydra Beauty Lip Balm
The minute we took this lip balm for a spin, we fell madly, deeply in love. And that love affair continued when we got off a 13 hour flight to LA and our lips still felt hydrated & plump. Fun fact: Mademoiselle Chanel loved the camellia flower, and if you’ve ever had the chance to look at one, you would’ve noticed that it’s petals are coated in a protective wax – and well, that was the inspiration behind this little guy. Like the petal wax, this balm smooths, soothes and protects from cabin pressure dry spells.
