We
don’t have to tell you that propelling yourself 35,000 feet
into the air can wreak havoc on your skin, and as serial
travellers, at least one member of the SUITCASE TEAM is in the air
getting dehydrated at any given moment. It’s impossible to look
perfect when you arrive, but to help you look better than the
person sitting next to you with a polyester blanket stuck to their
face, we’ve put together a few of our favourite in-flight beauty
products that you can bring in your hand luggage.
