Taking to the skies this summer? It’s time to think about your skin! Whether you’re flying first class or economy the same air is circulated through the plane during your travels, causing your complexion to feel dry, dehydrated and congested. Here are my tips to protecting your skin so you arrive at your destination looking Heavenly!
MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN YOUR FACE
This one seems like a no-brainer, but when you’re traveling you can easily forget – especially if you’re lost in the in-flight movie! My mini-size Cleanse & Foam Wash is the perfect travel companion – it contains organic mandarin essential oil to give you that fresh glowing look, as well as your daily dose of Vitamin C.
Avoid steaming hot water as this can exacerbate the sensitive skin on our face. Make sure you wash with warm or cool water to avoid harming your skin; it’ll close the pores too for added protection. For a quick pick-me-up, carry a pack of our Ella Jane Heal Wipes in your hand luggage. Chamomile immediately soothes skin and puffiness around the eyes is reduced.
INVEST IN A GOOD MOISTURISER
Using a moisturiser with anti-aging and other target solutions will only keep your skin protected and nourished for the long haul. For me, my Overnight Success Cream is my in-flight staple. I always take my travel size with me onboard because of the air pressure, air conditioning and jet lag can really impact on my skin.
LOOK AFTER YOUR EYES
If you struggle to sleep during a flight you’ll arrive with puffiness around your eye because the skin here is more delicate than on the rest of your face and prone to dryness. My Nettle Venom Eyes contains innovative NETTATOXIN to tackle those tell-tale dark circles. It’s light enough so that it doesn’t weigh down the area yet effective enough to really make the eyes glow.
A MUCH-NEEDED BEAUTY BOOST:
If you’re feeling a bit run-down when you land, reach for my new Collagen Drops. These mini dropper bottles contain potent anti-aging vitamins and minerals – including marine collagen, glucosamine, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and Biotin. Add a few drops to a glass of water or supercharge your everyday moisturiser into a high-strength collagen cream. Part of my Inner Beauty collection, they improve the skin’s hydration and elasticity and boost energy too.
REVEAL YOU NATURAL GLOW
Research shows that the higher the altitude the blood flow to your skin starts to drop and this can make your complexion look dull. Not the best look when you want to be looking your holiday best. My Silk Skin Bee Bee Cream it’s the only all-day BB cream that contains hyaluronic acid and ABEETOXIN®. It’ll add moisture to your skin, has an SPF20 and reacts to the colour of your skin to give you a natural glow.
TOP TRAVEL TIP
You have all your Heavenly skincare at home so why not buy your favourite mini versions to take away with you? I live by these when I’m travelling – this way I am not bogged down by all manner of toiletries and I can make those carry-on restrictions.
