a dry shampoo/styler hybrid

Somehow, during that upright
slumber, your hair gets greasy
andlimp.It’samysteryyetto
be solved, but until then, this
dusty stuff restores volume and
style-ability by absorbing the
excess oil and giving your hair
a matte base. And no rinsing.

MINIMISE SHINE with

oil-clearing face wipes

Hair isn’t the only thing that gets

greasy on the go. Substitute your

usual cleanser with Cetaphil’s

face wipes: they unclog pores by

washing away oil, dirt and grime,

without over-drying the skin.

HAVE A SMOOTH SHAVE

with a multipurpose oil

If your 5am shadow is showing,

you may need to shave at the

airport, or, if you’re badass, on

the plane. As shaving agents, oils

are grossly underrated. A few

drops will condition the skin for

a razor-sharp and smooth shave.

And it’ll maintain your scruff.

GET BRIGHT-EYED with

a de-puffi ng treatment

Lost baggage is a good thing,

at least when it comes to those

bags under the eyes. Kiehl’s

Eye Alert uses caffeine extracts

and a vitamin-rich formula to

minimise puffy under-eyes and

neutralise dark circles. Pro tip:

keep it on hand for hangovers,

should you need to mask last

night’s poor decisions.

GROOMING

As much as we’d like to take credit for ensuring

youlookyourbestwhenyou hit the ground,

the use of any grooming goods – no matter

how jam-packed with the fi nest ingredients –

won’t do their job unless you do yours:

drink enough water to combat the low-humidy

levels and moisture loss in the cabin while

you’re up in the air.
