Whether you're travelling for business or pleasure, you’ll want to arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh. But with early departures, long-haul journeys and uncomfortable conditions to contend with, jet lag can soon steal your skin glow.

Beat jet lag and look your best after landing with these travel-size beauty products for long-haul flights.

Best eye cream for jet lag 

If jet lag leaves you nursing dark circles, our Rejuvenating Eye Cream is just what you need. 
 
 Formulated to target dark circles and puffy eyes, this natural eye cream uses a plant cell complex of Tuberose with Betaine which is clinically proven to diminish puffiness and dark circles. 

76% of testers noticed a decrease in dark circles in just 30 days!

Best massage tool for flight face

Does jet lag leave your face feeling puffy? Also known as flight face, facial swelling is another common sign of jet lag. Many experts have suggested reasons for a puffy face after flying, with some blaming water retention and others claiming that air pressure is to blame.

For a fast fix to the flight face, use the seatbelt sign being on as a good excuse to practice self-care and release facial puffiness with your Gua Sha Facial Massage Stone.

Gliding the easy-to-grip Gua Sha stone over the contours of the face for just a few moments encourages lymphatic drainage and supports healthy blood circulation, giving your skin a natural boost.

Best in-flight serum for jet lag 

Does your skin feel dry after a flight? You are not alone. Humidity and low air pressure can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling dry, tight and dehydrated. 

The key to combating this is keeping your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water during your journey and applying a hydrating skin serum before take-off.

Designed to sink deeper than a moisturiser, our Collagen Boost Vitamin C Serum delivers instant hydration to travel-weary skin. 

The perfect size for hand luggage, each spill-proof pump delivers a vitality boost to your skin. Powered by skin-plumping Hyaluronic Acid and collagen-synthesising Vitamin C, this glow-getter leaves your skin bright, soft and smooth. 

Best in-flight face mask for jet lag 

For night flights, we recommend our Age Defy+ Hydra-Glow Sleep Mask. Rich in marine moisturisers, including skin-plumping Seaweed, this silky sleep cream feels like giving your skin an intensely hydrating in-flight facial.

There’s no messy residue, either. Apply a thick layer and let the rejuvenating actives work their magic. 

"Really lovely extra-nourishing cream. I bought it to keep my skin hydrated when flying, but now use it as a weekly treat. Also a little goes a long way." Emma W 

Best sleep support for jet lag 

Of course, the best way to beat jet lag is to get a good night's sleep. If travelling through different time zones throws your body clock out of synch, our relaxing Time to Sleep Aroma Bracelet Gift Set is ideal for helping to restore your sleep patterns.

A soothing wellbeing scent set for long-haul travellers and settling your mind during nights away from home, this pairs an elegant aromatherapy bracelet with our best-selling essential oil blend for sleep. 

Drop the oil onto the beads and drift off peacefully as you inhale its sleep-inducing Lavender and Vetivert aroma. 

"This is a beautiful product that works! It smells wonderful, but it helps you relax and enjoy a good night's sleep. I have two bottles: one at home and the other in my travel bag, as I’m away a lot, so I’m never without it. I put two drops onto my pillow, not too close to where my head goes, and it works its magic. The room also smells great even when you're not going to bed" – Anne G.
