Beauty Notes: Freshen Up After a Flight

Flying can definitely take its toll on our appearance. If you're like me, I end up looking drained and a bit frazzled coming from a flight. Below are a few helpful tips to looking refreshed...

• MOISTURIZE! - this is super important, because when you're in the air, air pressures are much lower causing your skin to become a bit dry and pale looking. moisturizer will replenish your skin and give you a healthy glow
• Make Up - something I've picked up after traveling a bit with my family is to not wear a heavy load of make up before your flight. Your makeup may end up looking "worn out" and will most likely come off regardless (plus, if you're headed on vacation... a heavy amount of makeup isn't even necessary, au naturale ladies!) what my mom always tells me to bring is a nice lip color, a bright shade of red or pink after a flight can definitely brighten up your face and make you feel refreshed!
• H2O -hydrate yourself plenty! being up in the air not only can dry your skin but make you even more dehydrated. also, try to pack your own snacks (ie: dried fruit)
• Socks - bring a pair of socks with you, being that high up in the air and the temperature of the airplane can be a bit colder. also, ask for a blanket!
• Carry On - whether it's a larger tote or a small backpack, this is definitely an essential. this can hold all of your information (passport, wallet, etc), your snacks, make up, etc into one central area for quick access. 

Hope this helps all of my fellow travelers out there! Happy Travels, Bloggers! (:
