Stocking up on beauty bits at Duty Free is one of the most exciting parts of the journey. You can always find exclusives that you cant get anywhere else - gift packs, limited edition colours and gift with purchase are key things to look out for in the beauty hall. A few hours in a plane can be devestating to your skin though, so Beauty Assistant Samantha Flowers has been hanging out in the beauty hall getting the top tips to get you looking gorgeous for landing...
You should always remove your makeup just before take off (I find it handy to keep some face wipes in my bag) but if you feel like you need something to make you look a bit more 'awake', Meera from the Mac counter recommends investing in the new Mac False Lash Mascara for eye opening volume and definition.
The humidity on a plane is really low so has a drying effect on your skin - hydration is key. As well as drinking lots of water, remember to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Dee from the Kiehls counter suggests you stock up on Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream before you fly (taking advantage of the duty free prices) which contains botanical flowers that lock the moisture in your skin for hours.
Puffy eyes are never a good luck on landing. Gabriella at the Biotherm counter has just introduced me to Biotherm's Multi Recharge range which is designed with jet-lag in mind. Both the Daily Protective Energetic Moisturiser contains ginsing which de-puffs and I'm loving the cooling Multi Recharge Eye Cream which contains light reflecting particles. What dark circles?!
Flight delayed? Keep an eye out for little beauty treatlets going on around you. Jo Malone counters offer free hand massages using their fab smelling products and check out the Dr Sebagh counter for a complimentary mini facial.
By following these beauty tips, by the time you land you'll be looking brighter than when you took off!
