Beauty editor’s tip: Drinking plenty of water throughout your flight is key to keeping your skin hydrated. Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, as they can dehydrate you. The same rules apply to ingredients in your skincare, such as harsh alcohols, which can further dry out your skin.

Layer a hydrating serum with an ultra-hydrating cream such as this Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution Hydro Plump Water Cream, which floods skin with intense hydration while helping to rebuild the skin’s barrier.

To take the day off or for a quick freshen-up, opt for no-fuss, all-in-one facial wipes. MCoBeauty Double Sided Facial Wipes cleanse, exfoliate and remove make-up without the need for water.

Whenever your skin feels tight or dry throughout your flight, a quick spritz of a face mist like Caudalie Beauty Elixir will revive skin, no matter how long you’ve been airborne.

Swipe the MCoBeauty Baby Face Multiuse Cream Stick in Peony Rose across cheeks and lips for a flush of colour.

Blur travel-induced blemishes and control shine with the Elizabeth Arden Pressed Powder.

Beauty editor’s tip: If jet lag has landed you with puffy eyes and dark circles, use your ring finger to gently tap and massage the under-eye area to help stimulate circulation. You’ll look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in no time!

A nourishing lip balm must-have to help soften and hydrate. The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm keeps lips hydrated by supporting the moisture barrier and

For those long-haul journeys, a mask can be a luxurious treat. Pop on a sheet mask mid-flight, such as Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution. It’s an easy way to pass the time and give skin a deep-moisture treatment while binge-watching in-flight movies.

Before you disembark, toss a dry shampoo through your roots to combat grease. The Crown Affair The Dry Shampoo will keep your mane feeling fresh and clean.

Don’t let unruly hair cramp your style – a compact Tangle Teezer will keep your locks in check.

Keep your locks contained and tie them back with a Slip Silk Scrunchie to enjoy crease-free hair on arrival.

A quick dab with a rollerball perfume on your wrists and neck before disembarking will have you smelling divine, without overwhelming fellow passengers. Choose a light, fresh scent for a pleasant pick-me-up or a skin-scent enhancer like Glossier You Eau de Parfum, $67.

While you’re on the go, keep a compact hand sanitiser nearby to help keep hands germ-free. Look for one with moisturising properties like this Paume Moisturising Antibacterial Hand Gel Travel Bottle, which is formulated with aloe vera and witch hazel to nourish and hydrate while keeping the bugs at bay.
