Inflight Skincare Routine

Going on a plane is already beyond petrifying to me, the whole 37,000 feet in the air thing terrifies me and going through security, wondering if my bag is even on the right plane and if the security are going to tell me I have to throw away an expensive product because it doesn’t comply… But one of the scariest things about flying is the pressurised, recycled stifling air on the plane. The thought of what’s in that air sends shivers down my spine. Being acne prone, wearing makeup is a solid no for me on a plane. The air just sucks my skin dry and anything on top of it with it. So it’s no surprise when I wear makeup on a flight and wake up with three volcanos on my face. These are my favourite products to stop my skin freaking out, but making sure when I get off the plane I feel like my glowy self. 

  1. Face Wipes - An absolute essential, I usually wipe my face with face wipes every two hours and then put my skincare on around the half way mark. I love any that are infused with oils as it just provides that extra moisture for my skin.
  2. Avene Thermal Mist - There are two great benefits to this mist. It hydrates your skin and reduces redness. The two things I want the most for on a plane. Make sure you get the travel sized version of this product, because trust me the security man will have no sleepless nights whipping this thing out of your hands, while you suffer on a long haul flight. 
  3. Liz Earle Oil - This is actually a travel sized version and lasts forever. I love this for preventing acne and it really gets into my skin to combat redness and keep my skin glowy. 
  4. Kiehls ultra facial cream - I round off my skincare by applying this all over my face and neck. It is a really good allrounder cream and I’ll put this on any areas that may feel dry. 
  5. Kiehls luminiser - I usually start putting this on about half an hour before the plane lands, because I do not want to look like I’ve just sat on a long haul flight! This is amazing, it gives a luminosity to the skin without looking greasy or oily. It looks like you had the best facial in the world. 
  6. Blistex Intensive Moisture Treatment Cherry - I usually just apply this throughout the flight, whenever my lips feel dry. The cherry flavour is one of the best, it doesn’t taste artificial and is my favourite lip balm at the minute (sorry balm dot com).
  7. Glossier Skin Tint Medium - This is the final step I put on and think it looks perfect for fooling everyone into thinking you have amazing skin! It’s perfect for putting on with your hands and just means you can get on with your day as soon as you get off the plane.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

Isle Of Paradise Self- Tanning Water Review

So throughout the year, I am pretty much Casper the ghost when it comes to having a tan and when summer comes round, I just can't face my translucent legs any longer... bring on the tan! So usually my go to is Bondi Sands, but I was just drawn to the uniqueness of the tanning mist! This comes in three colours, designed to match your skin tone which is pretty cool, there's a pink (light) , green (medium) and purple (dark). I am pale but have an olive undertone to my skin so decided to go for medium because usually the lightest ones don't show up on my skin particularly well. So I did all the usual steps of tanning, 24 hours earlier I exfoliated my skin and moisturised (especially around my ankles and wrists) and then I got down to actually applying it. When you spray this stuff, you're supposed to spray it from a reasonable distance and just keep spritzing until you're basically soaked in the stuff. I had a really hard time getting this to work and I was so dis...
