Keeping Hydrated On Board
If you are a frequent flier , you need to pay extra attention to your skin , whether you are travelling to the country next door or half way across the world . Pressurised cabins are bad for your skin , and spending 10 hours or more in a plane can cause your skin to dehydrate and age . A little prep here can go a long way .
There are few things that you can carry to use on your skin during your flight : A moisturiser , an eye cream , a hydrating face mask , hand cream and if possible coconut water .
I usually moisturise my skin before leaving for a travel but the dry atmosphere on a flight makes my skin dry a few hours into a flight . This is the time I reapply the moisturiser . My personal favourite is Olay and Khiels . I do the same with my eyes .
Before coming on a flight I also apply a body cream mixed with bio-oil . Palmer ' s shea cocoa butter goes very well with a bio-oil .
At some point when the cabin is dark , I take this opportunity to apply the hydrating face mask and then maybe a short nap after that . Usually , these masks have thick serum so even after removing the mask the serum stays for a long time .
My target is to drink loads of water and if I can find coconut water from the airport duty-free then I drink it mid-flight .
Aircraft soaps make your hand super dry , so a hand cream can always come handy . With this little preparation and routine , you can prevent dryness , fine lines and premature ageing .
Quick Tips And Suggestions On Travelling With A Toddler
First and foremost , I have a suggestion : mommies , get yourself a nice , comfy , spacious , and of course cute looking backpack ! Believe me , it makes carrying things around so much easier , especially when your toddler suddenly demands to be carried too .
Always pack your backpack with an extra pair of clothes for the child . Maybe throw in an extra shirt for yourself , wipes , diapers and a changing mat . Pull-ups if they are potty trained . A pouch of quick meds . My list includes Adol , anti-allergic syrup , vaseline as cabins get cold and dry on long flights , a thermometer , ear drops and nasal drops .
Pack lots of snacks for a long flight and some of your child ' s favourite snacks in the luggage too , if he is a picky eater like mine , and if you are travelling to a completely new destination .
Download their favourite videos on the tablet . Not encouraging screen time here , but the tablet does become a temporary rescue in a lot of situations .
I book us a hotel apartment mostly because my child is a very picky eater and I am at peace when I just cook and feed him , or carry his meal before heading out to discover the city .
