In-flight beauty routine: 7 tips for a smoother and more refreshing journey

A combination of cabin pressure, crappy food and sitting in one place for an extended period of time can leave you feeling and looking a little worse for wear after a long flight. If you're going abroad soon, try upgrading your in-flight beauty regime with these seven top tips, which will help you arrive feeling more revived than wrecked.   1. Moisturise Leave the lotion and opt for a heavier moisturiser than usual. Slathering your face and body the night before jetting off will increase hydration and help prevent flaky skin. 2. Exfoliate Exfoliating the night before taking a flight will help your skin absorb any moisturiser that you apply on the plane, quicker and easier. 3. Volumise Avoid in-flight flat hair by preparing in advance and applying a volumising product after washing your locks. 4. Relax and uplift Rub a couple of drops of essential lavender oil in your palms for a spot of uplifting aromatherapy; or, dab on the temples to help you relax on the flight. 5. Quality ZZZs If you want the chance to get some quality sleep, you'll need to block out the bright lights and incessant droning sound with an eye mask and ear plugs. 6. Feet first Slather your feet in cream and pop on a pair of comfy socks to stay warm AND receive a hydrating foot treatment for beach-ready toes. 7. Detoxify and rejuvenate Use a clay face mask after the flight to detoxify the skin and help clear pores and detoxify the skin. A ready-made rejuvenating face mask will help brighten tired skin.
