Airplane Beauty Essentials

Traveling is inevitable of the holiday season, and nothing is worse for your skin than an airplane cabin.

Rule #1 : Always carry on your toiletries and makeup. This way you can avoid any unwanted shampoo and bronzer explosions. Find a toiletry bag you love (my mom and grandmother have sworn by Henri Bendel for years, and naturally I’ve caught the bug).
Rule #2 : Travel with an oversized scarf. No matter your destination, airplanes are always a little chilly. An oversized scarf will double as a blanket on the plane.
Rule #3 : Embrace your hair’s natural texture. Come prepared with dry shampoo and a good brush to vamp up your hair post-landing.

Rule #4 : Have a post-flight destination? Apply a good tinted moisturizer (I’m still tied to my Chanel Vitalumière Aqua) and a couple swipes of mascara. A cream blush/highlighter palette can go a long way when you’re on the go. Press the blush color onto your cheeks (it can also doubles as a lip color).
Rule #5: Time to use up those perfume samples! Upon landing, freshen up by spraying some perfume in your hair, as well as dabbing some on your wrists.
