We all know that air travel can play havoc with your complexion, which is why Virgin Atlantic’s Rebecca Creer recommends using airport time to do some skincare prep.

“First off, I always exfoliate the night before a flight,” says Rebecca, “as removing dead skin cells allows hydrating skincare products to work more effectively.”

“Then at the airport, invest in a good moisturiser. You’ll need to keep reapplying throughout the flight to save your skin from becoming dehydrated.”

“I also pick up lip balm or Vaseline – it’s obviously good for your lips, but you can also use on your fingernails to keep them soft and hydrated.”

If you’re looking to get an instant boost of hydration, head to the M.A.C airport store and check out the Fix+ Duo kit - a pair of 100ml bottles of the iconic Prep + Prime Fix+ setting spray, perfect for keeping your skin hydrated at 30,000 feet.

It’s one of the new range of Travel Exclusive kits, grab-and-go sets of M.A.C’s best-selling products that also land you savings of up to 15%.
