BEAUTY ON THE ROAD

While traveling, you should try to maintain your beauty routine in the usual way with a few extra touches.

Drink at least eight ounces of water every hour. The dry air on planes (not to mention the lack of oxygen) is like being stranded in a desert.

If you can, wear a sleep mask while traveling. Some are scented with soothing herbs, while others are lightly weighted to reduce puffiness. Some masks have a cooling effect.

Travel with a satin pillowcase so you won’t wake up with morning creasing.

HEALTH ON THE ROAD

Whether in a car or plane, use a pillow you can roll up for lumbar or neck support.

Do heel raises, ankle circles, toe lifts, and overhead stretches every hour in flight to avoid cramping. Take a walk up and down the aisle once an hour to work the leg muscles and ease the back!

Prevent air bloating by leaning forward in your seat and supporting your face in your hands for several minutes. You’re providing the right amount of pressure on your facial tissue to combat puffiness.

Avoid high sodium snacks while in the air.

Tense each muscle in your body then release it and relax completely.

Breathe through your nose to defend against cabin germs.

Work out in the comfort and safety of your hotel room. Use wine bottles from the mini bar as free weights.
