Your tickets are booked and your suitcase is full of assorted bikinis, vest tops, shorts and cute little dresses. It’s almost time to pop on your sunglasses and head to the airport, but before you go don’t forget your inflight beauty essentials.

Knowing how to keep your skin hydrated is important on a flight, especially if you’re going long haul due to the pressure and recycled air. If you’re flying short haul you won’t have as much time to invest but your skin will still benefit from these tips.

So what inflight beauty essentials should come top of your list?

do a face mask on a plane to keep your skin hydrated

Whip out your face mask

What better time for a face mask is there then when you have to spend hours sitting in a seat! There are many face masks available and so many are full of amazing benefits that your skin will soak up. If you’re in it for the long haul you may want to try a Sleeping mask, these provide intense hydration for hours and counteract the effects of being stuck in a enclosed environment for hours. Try Shiseido Sleeping Mask 50ml for long haul flights or Natura Bisse Oxygen Finishing Mask 75ml for short haul fights.

Relax those eyes

Your eyes are one of the first parts of your body to feel and look tired. Whilst you have a little snooze why not try a mask designed specifically for the eye area to give targeted hydration. TryElemis Absolute Eye Mask.

Makeup wipes are one of my in flight beauty essentials

Whilst you may want to look great on the plane, it’s likely that full face of makeup will fade and sink into your skin as the flight goes on. Streaky mascara, eyeliner and tired looking foundation is never a good look. When you’ve settled into the plan use some gentle makeup wipes to get rid of all your makeup so you can prep your skin and relax. Aim for wipes full of goodies like Vitamin C to refresh and brighten your skin. I recommend L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Cleansing makeup wipes.

Moisturisers are go

Moisturiser should be top of your list of inflight beauty essentials to counteract the effects of the altitude and cabin air. Moisturiser will help to keep your skin hydrated stopping it drying out. I recommend Steam Cream moisturiser if you want your skin to feel really hydrated.

Recap- have you got all your inflight beauty essentials together?

As the plane comes in to land you probably feel fabulous. Whilst your skin looks great it’s still good to add the finishing touches so you have a little bit of glamour as you head towards your destination. Aim for a CC cream with a hydrating base to brighten your skin. A CC cream is great as it’s quite lightweight and they normally have a good SPF. Try Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF30. Finish off with a tinted lip balm to add colour but still keep your lips moisturised. NIVEA Cherry Shine lip balm is perfect for adding a touch of colour whilst still caring for your lips.

Have a great flight ladies and I’m sure you’ll look even more fabulous when you leave the plane then you did when you boarded!
