As much as I love to travel, sitting on a plane for hours can wreak havoc on your skin. If you pack the right items in your carry-on, you can turn your flight into a relaxing pampering session. Here’s what you need to land paparazzi ready! 

Water is just as important as your passport! Sitting around in dry air for hours can make you really dehydrated. Always request water every chance you get. 

For a morning flight show up to your flight make up free and get a few more minutes of sleep. If you have a later flight take your MAC Wipes in the “to go” size and remove all your make up.

La Mer The Concentrate serum comes in a one ounce bottle perfect for all those TSA regulations. It helps with signs of fatigue which is exactly what you need. 

I got a teeny-weeny Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Repair as a “gift with purchase” which was just the right amount for my trip. I dabbed this on my eye area with my ring finger after removing my contacts. 

Throughout the flight, I love misting my face with CAUDALIE Grape Water and reapplying the Jo Malone London Vitamin E Lip Conditioner.

Planes are full of germs so make sure you keep washing your hands. That said, all that washing can make your hands super dry. Give yourself a little hand massage with L’Occitane Shea Butter and share some with your neighbor.

About an hour or so before landing use a hydrating sheet mask like the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask and re-apply the above items. Once they penetrate your skin, you can apply some make up for a smooth landing.
