Celebrity Life

Between the dry cabin air, sodium-rich food and questionable hygiene standards, we can all agree that air travel is rough on our skin, our bodies and any attempt at looking or feeling halfway decent.

But with hours to do little else except watch movies and try, in vain, to sleep, flights can be the perfect time to indulge in some spa-style pampering. All of the products you see on these pages are TSA-approved (that’s 100 ml/3.4 ounces or less for liquids, in case you’ve forgotten) and so convenient that you can use them without even leaving your seat.
If you follow any celebrities or supermodels on social media, you’ve probably read about or even seen selfies of them applying a sheet mask right after take-off. 111Skin’s version is a great option when flying, thanks to its gel-like structure and super-fine fibres that help lock moisture into the skin. It’s designed for use before a big event or after a holiday, so be sure to bring one for the departing flight and one for the trip home.
If you’re worried about scaring fellow passengers with a full face mask, you can always opt for Laneige’s new Cica Sleeping Mask. The yeast-enriched formula can help skin withstand external irritation, something that’s practically guaranteed with plane travel.

Finally, when it comes to freshening up mid-flight or before landing, be sure to pack some moisturiser, fragrance, lip balm and hand cream. After all, just because you stepped off a 16-hour flight doesn’t mean you have to look like you did.
