I am starting to hear more and more from my clients that they are willing to use skin care products, masks and mists to keep their skin hydrated on flights. Gone are the days of being embarrassed about applying sheet masks mid-air it seems, freaking out the person beside you who has woken to a scene out of a horror movie when they see you with your sheet mask on.
The importance of keeping your skin in tip top condition has overridden any previous thoughts and fears, and so it should! Who doesn't want to arrive at their destination with soft, dewy skin that looks like it has been on a holiday before yours even starts.
Here is my top in flight products that are a must in any carry bag.
The Jane Iredale Magic Mitt is my no.1 go to on the plane. All you need is water and this little beauty is ready to cleanse the skin of all make up, product, dirt and in-flight grime. I ask for a glass of water, then drink half of the glass then soak the magic mitt in the remainder. Voila! a cleansing mitt ready to go. The Jane Iredale Magic Mitt is a microfiber cloth that requires no cleanser. It is soft, gentle and very effective in make up removal. Once I have finished I pop it in my little plastic bag ready to rinse in warm soapy water when possible. To maintain you can pop in the washing machine once a week and hang dry. Otherwise warm soapy water is fine between cleanses.
Cosmedix Restore Mask is a deeply hydrating and restorative mask that you can pop on after you have cleansed with your Jane Iredale Magic Mitt. It goes on clear and deeply hydrates, perfect to pop on before your in-flight nap. Cosmedix Restore is an ultra-moisturising mask that visually plumps skin to smooth out wrinkles and refines skin texture. Leave on for 10 minutes or for the entire flight.
Black Chicken Hydrate My Face Toning Mist is well under the 50ml and is a little beauty. Whenever you feel like a mid-flight pick me up, resurgence of hydration, reach for this bottle of goodness. The Black Chicken Hydration Mist brings together organic essential oils and pure floral waters to leave your skin feeling vibrant and energised immediately.
Alpha H Absolutely Lip Perfector is a combined serum and balm, the texture is so silky and hydrating, the perfector glides on and drenches the lips in moisture rather than just a product that sits on the surface. Infused with refreshing Peppermint, Wild Mint and Honeycomb Extract to nourish, condition and lock in moisture for softer lips. Applied before bedtime you wake up with perfectly supple lips, enhanced moisturisation that lasts all day, and noticeably increased lip volume.

Place the personal inhaler tip just below your nostril. Do not insert it into the nostril. Close off the other nostril with one finger. Slowly inhale to a count of 5 with full awareness of the remedial scents, then slowly exhale. Repeat with the other nostril. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times.
You can use your personal inhaler every 2-3 hours. Refill your nasalette by adding 5-6 drops of the matching blend dropped into the nasalette.
