Cabin reviver
Not only does the aeroplane cabin suck the moisture out of your skin, high altitude can result in a dull dermis due to less blood flow to the skin. Coax your complexion back to its former self, post-plane, with an engergising treatment. Enter Dior’s jelly textured mask – it will wake up skin with its citrus fruit extracts that work like a mini face peel and the apricot kernels refresh and smooth.

Go for bronze
We all know we should keep our faces out of the sun, but some of us won’t forgo the glow to save on sun damage. Well, now you can get sun-kissed sans wrinkles by adding one to three droplets of this non-smelly face tan to your SPF50 face cream for a buildable tan.

Fragrance of the flock
We are suckers for the sultry, summery scents that come from this American fashion house. Yet rarely do we veer far from Narciso Rodriguez’s signature scent, For Her. However don’t be shy of a little dalliance with his latest scent, Fleur Musc, best paired with balmy European nights.

Travel light
Pop this tube into your carry-on and apply under your peepers just before leaving the plane. The passion flower extract will soothe tired eyes while the moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid gets to work and if that wasn’t enough, the tinted cream disguises dark circles too. Bye, bye, red eye.

Give some lip
Beach beauty is all about natural, natural, natural, but sometimes when sundowners are calling we need a little oomph in the beauty department. Enter lip-plumping serum: smooth a little over the lip and lip line to increase the water retention in the area and visibily plump. Beware, sensitive types; it does tingle but from doing so it leaves a lovely pink tone.
