‘Aircraft conditions often leave your skin and lips feeling dry, so I always carry a lip balm. My favourite is Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 in Mint,’ Ben told Kiwi news outlet Stuff.
A face mist, Ben says, can keep your skin from feeling dry and he uses the Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist in a 30ml travel size.
‘A spritz of this wakes me right up before breakfast on the long-haul flights. This keeps my skin nice and hydrated and feeling good for the rest of the flight,’ he said.
To stop pimples from appearing Ben swears by the Origins Super Spot Remover which he says is an ‘absolute miracle product’.
‘Travel and changing weather conditions can wreak havoc on your skin…If I see a little spot or pimple appear, this will get rid of it in no time,’ he said.
