Sali Hughes on beauty: My easy in-flight skincare routine

Look fresh on arrival with a simple kit to hydrate and protect your face

As I write this, I am about to embark on a long-haul flight for which I packed my carry-on with newfound abandon. Travellers to many airports are now free from the confines of post‑9/11 liquids restrictions and the dreaded plastic ziplock bag, so the opportunities for an in-flight skincare moment are greater.

I try to embark with a clean face, but if that isn’t possible I freshen up first with Simple’s Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes (£2 for seven), before layering on a series of humectant skincare products to counterbalance horribly dry cabin air.
