Sounds simple, and yet there is an art to this very basic beauty rule. Ensuring every last trace of product has been removed without drying out skin is the secret to a dewy complexion. Devote some time to massaging the skin with balms, oil cleansers and creamy formulations that are rich with hydrating ingredients, and then rinse off with a linen cloth for the most thorough cleanse. If you’re travelling long haul, make sure you stay makeup free on the flight. You can still arrive with a glow like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley with the help of a quick BB cream touch up before landing.
It may sound obvious, but ample hydration is a must. The Liu Wens, Karlie Kloss’ and Cara Delevingnes of this world never skip this vital step between shows and flights. Opt for a serum that is packed with hyaluronic acid as this will draw the moisture into the skin deeper. Long haul flights are the perfect excuse to put richer formulations to use; night creams are a great option, as they can heal and rejuvenate the skin while you pull down the eye mask and get some beauty sleep.
Supermodel skin emergencies can entail anything from the sudden appearance of a blemish to tired, grey skin. To zap away any spots, apply a salicylic acid based ointment to draw out the redness and swelling. For sallow skin suffering from one too many flights and after parties, go for a cream mask and work into the skin for a quick 15-minute fix.
