3 Lips
Scientists have proven that the atmosphere inside an aircraft is as dry as the Sahara desert, so it is important to take good care of your skin. “Lip balm is a must on a longhaul flight. Carmex not only smells fantastic, but soothes chapped lips, keeping them soft and well hydrated,” she advises.

“Also, when you’re travelling don’t forget to drink plenty of water. Alcohol and hot drinks can dehydrate you and will have an effect on your comfort levels as well as your skin. Aim to drink at least two glasses of water per hour.”
5 Hair
Those who suffer from greasy hair will find dry shampoo useful. “You can buy travel-size versions now, which will fit perfectly in your handbag and are easy to use just before landing. Batiste is a favourite with cabin crew,” Carter reveals.
Another recommendation is to keep hands fresh with sanitiser. The top choice with British Airways cabin crew is Bath & Body Works’ ‘warm sugar vanilla’ because of its fragrance. And the final tip: “If all else fails, make sure you always carry a good lipstick, some sunglasses and a pashmina, which will hide all manner of sins as you make your way through the arrivals hall.”
