How do you keep your skin hydrated on a long-haul flight?

By drinking lots and lots of water. Your skin dries out when you’re up in the air and your body loses a lot of moisture, too, so it’s important to keep hydrated throughout the flight, especially if you’re constantly on the go.

What’s the one product you would recommend to keep skin supple? Why?

I absolutely love Ponds Triple Action Moisturiser, £5.99. It doesn’t cost a bomb and really quenches my skin, providing much-needed hydration after a long-haul flight. I always slather on a few layers, as my skin gets really dry.

How do you prep skin before applying make-up? Is there anything you do differently compared to your usual routine?

I cleanse, tone and moisturise. It sound simple, but ensuring my face is completely clean and nourished before applying make-up helps stop potential breakouts and provides an even base for foundation. Nivea’s 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner for Normal & Combination Skin, £2.65, works wonders. Even if I’m not flying, I still cleanse, tone and moisturise before applying make-up, as I think it’s important to not change up my routine as my skin might react differently.

What product would you never fly without? Why?

SPF, especially a high factor. I’m the first to admit I’ve been incredibly lax with SPF over the years, as I love tanning, but I have a lot of sun damage on my face because of it. Now that I fly to lots of sunny destinations, it’s important to protect my face and the rest of my body. Currently, I’m using Garnier Ambre Solaire Sensitive Hydrating Face Sun Cream Mist SPF50, £6.

What products do you use to help your skin deal with different time zones?

I don’t tend to switch up my products when I’m in different time zones, as my skin needs a good routine. If I’m not exploring a new destination or just chilling in my hotel room, I will sometimes bring a hydrating face mask with me. I use Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask with Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water, £22, which is brilliant. Otherwise, I’ll just layer skin with moisturiser and let it soak in overnight.

What’s the first thing you do as soon as you’re off the plane?

As soon as I’m off the plane and back home, it’s make-up off! Rehydrating and letting my skin breathe after a flight is so important. I always have a shower and moisturise and then it’s PJ’s, hair up in a bun and some much-needed sleep.

Any top tips or anything else we need to know?

Something I’ve really noticed whilst flying is that you bloat and expand in a pressurised cabin. Avoiding any carbonated drinks and drinking plenty of water will help combat this.

Always wear flight socks as this helps with puffy ankles. I always do this when travelling as a passenger, but luckily when I’m working, I am on my feet walking around a lot, so that gets the blood pumping round my body and reduces any puffy ankles happening.

Finally, always carry a moisturising lip balm. Flaky, cracked lips are not the one.
