Many of you have been asking how do I look after my skin on flights and what are the most essential items to take with you in the cabin? Through my years of travelling around the world I have developed my own essential list of items that I cannot board a flight without.
Carry On Travel Pack
After years of long-haul flights, looking after my skin, wellbeing and comfort have become extremely important to me. Inside my carry-on bag you will always find the following essential items:
Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment - A miracle in a bottle! I will apply this several times during a flight just to keep those dehydration lines at bay!
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Complex - The skin under my eyes gets extremely parched during a flight and post sun exposure so I have to layer this onto of of my Elemis eye treatment.
Blistex daily conditioner Lip balm - This is the only lip balm that I will ever use.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair - I've been using this for over 10 years and honestly cannot live without this product. It sinks straight into my skin without overloading my acne prone skin.
Elemis Pro -Collagen Marine Cream - I never used to wear face moisturiser until I discovered the Elemis brand, it sinks straight into the skin and the smell is not overpowering like some other brands.
Elemis Frangipani Hand Cream - This is by far my favourite hand cream but sadly it has now been discontinued so once I run out I need to find a replacement!
Miscellaneous Essentials
Flight socks
Loose black t-shirt and leggings - Black hides those tell tell inflight spillage's
Tooth brush & tooth paste
Ear plugs - Mack's are my favourite as I find them extremely soft and comfortable
Contoured eye mask - One of the best purchases I've ever made. No more squashed eyelashes!
Neck pillow
Hand sanitiser
Simple face wipes
Tissues
Hairbands
Sunglasses
Cap - For taming the mane post-flight
Scarf - Some internal flights can get really chilly!
Flip flops - Having these make a quick trip to the bathroom much easier than trying to shove my swollen feet back into my trainers!
Medical Kit
My medical kit is essential for every trip, long or short! I know I might be stating the obvious but you would be surprised how often I used to travel without one until the unfortunate happened and I was hit with a hefty bill just to buy some simple medication. Below is just an example of what I pack but please seek medical advice from your GP whenever travelling abroad.
Swimeaze - (Scuba Diver Essential)
Ear Calm Spray - (Scuba Diver Essential)
Congestion Relief Tablets - (Scuba Diver Essential)
Pain relief tablets
Allergy relief tablets
Sting/bite cream
Reenie
Berocca/Vitamin C
Constipation relief
Imodium - I will never travel without this again! I got overconfident on my last trip and did not bother to pack any, as I have never needed to use them in all my years of travelling, however, that was a huge mistake as I got hit, hit BAD!
Dioralyte
Plasters
Tweezers
Nail file and clippers
