Carry on, Carry on: 7 In Flight Beauty Essentials
We're officially half way into summer, aka vacation season. And if your bags aren’t already packed, chances are you’re fantasizing about what will be going into them once the time comes: The crisp white cotton dress for a beachside dinner, the bikini for a dip in the pool, or a new pair of hiking boots for an outdoorsy adventure.
When these have been tossed into your luggage, it’s time to turn to your beauty essentials, and that’s where the hard decisions come in.
Space (and the TSA) demand an edited approach to your daily regimen. Air travel can be especially hard on your skin, but how do you choose which tubes and sprays get to come along, and which gels and creams get left on the dresser? For help, we asked a few of our favorite globe-trotting It girls which of their in flight beauty tips that always make the carry-on cut!
First thing's first: Remove all of your makeup as soon as you board the plane. If you prefer to do this in your seat you can use a micellar water on a cotton pad instead. We don't care for makeup remover wipes, they’re just not that great for your skin and the perfectionist in us doesn’t really believe they remove all traces of makeup, dirt and debris.
Give the delicate under-eye skin some extra love with a separate balm, massaging it around the entire eye—lid and all. Feeling ambitious (or bored)? Ask the flight attendant for some ice cubes and put the roll on on ice for a few minutes before applying for extra soothing power.
Praised by even severe-headache victims for its efficacy, Orglamix Chill Pill, a fast-acting sensory-therapy formula containing peppermint, basil, and eucalyptus oils, targets tension and tightness in the face and neck. Rub a mere two drops into your temples, your earlobes, and the nape of your neck for near-instant relief.
