I think we can all remember
the worst flight we’ve ever been on. Mine was earlier in February. I was on a long
haul flight from Tokyo at a grueling 6 am in the morning (and in case I forget
to mention, we slept at Tokyo airport the night before, but that’s another story). Our pit stop was in Singapore with the last leg straight back
home to Sydney.
The flight had all
the usual annoying traits (think: lack of water served from flight attendants,
tasteless food, next to no sleep and a crying baby mere meters away), but what I remember
the most was the dryness of my skin and lips. Flying promises two very fast
things, a quick flight to your chosen destination, and for all moisture to
be zapped out of your skin quicker than you can say, wheres my hydrating
serum?!
I had used up all
of my Ultraceuticals Even Skintone Serum on the flight there and
foolishly used up the entire product over the next couple of days after my
arrival...Japanese winters can be cruel! I should have hunted down a replacement
but I thought I could cheat the system, you cannot! Learn from my mistakes!
Arriving back in Sydney my skin felt as dull and dry as cheap tissue
paper.
This time around it is not I who has been summoned to beautiful tropical vistas or cultural sights and sounds. A close friend of mine, Temeika, will be jet setting to LA, so I thought I’d be so kind as to share the best beauty skin care packs that will make it through customs, and make your skin feel half alive once you embark on your travels.
Aesop’s New York travel essentials:
This kit features many of their favourites from their ever
popular Parsley Seed skin care range.

This is a personal
favourite. This kit features products that deliver, you will indeed feel
