Jet-Set, Glow: The GRAZIA Guide To The Best In-Flight Beauty Essentials
Photo: @aimeesmalex, Instagram There's something about being above the clouds that changes everything. One minute you're glowing, the next your skin tightens mid-flight, and your energy has been left on the runway. Blame it on the recycled air, the fluorescent lighting, or that pre-boarding espresso that seemed like a good idea at the time. But what if your hand luggage worked a little smarter? With the right edit of travel-sized essentials, you can stay hydrated, calm, and halfway put together somewhere up above the clouds. We've sifted through endless beauty products to bring you a routine that *actually* does something at 30,000 feet. No complicated routines, just products that overdeliver and fit neatly into your hand luggage. Think fewer products, better formulas, and zero fuss. A hard-working balm that doubles as a highlighter. A hydrating mist that feels like air-con for your skin. A soothing oil to smooth out turbulence. Streamlined, effective, and travel-approved. So, whether you're escaping to London this summer or to the Greek islands or further afield to Australia, perhaps, this edit is your new flight plan for feeling fresh above the clouds. THE MUST-HAVES Cabin air is a flying moisture vacuum, so your inflight kit should do one thing above all else: lock hydration in before it's left behind. Here's what we swear by. Augustinus Bader The Rich Eye Cream Like a full night's sleep in a jar. This deeply nourishing cream is powered by peptides and the brand's signature TFC8 complex. Designed to soften fine lines, de-puff, and deeply hydrate. The rich texture melts down into the skin, leaving the eyes visibly smoother, firmer, and more radiant. SUMMER FRIDAYS UNDER EYE PATCHES Summer Fridays under-eye patches are your under-eye power move, hydrating, non-slip hydrogel patches that hug just right. Infused with caffeine and peptides, they work to de-puff, soothe, and smooth tired eyes in minutes. These are your anytime, anywhere quick fixes. Clarins Double Serum A cult classic that does it all. This dual-phase formula blends turmeric extract with 20+ plant actives to help firm, hydrate, brighten, and smooth. Skin looks fresher, plumper, and more radiant with every use, no wonder it's beloved worldwide. Augustinus Bader The Sunscreen SPF 50 A high-performance SPF that feels like skincare. This smooth silky, hydrating formula protects with SPF 50 while delivering antioxidants and Bader's tech to repair and defend. Lightweight, pore-friendly and perfect under makeup. Even in the sky you still need protection. Summer Fridays jet lag mask This product needs no introduction. The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask is a cult favourite amongst many, including the GRAZIA team. You can use it a multiple ways – as a moisturiser, a mask or even as an eye cream. Enriched with niacinamide to smooth and brighten, plus hyaluronic acid and glycerin for deep, lasting hydration, also features a soothing blend of Vitamin B5, chamomile, comfrey, and cucumber extract to calm and refresh tired, stressed skin day or night. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30 The OG no-makeup makeup base. Lightweight and dewy, it blends skincare with sheer coverage thanks to vitamin E and kukui seed oil. With SPF 30 and hydration in every swipe, it's your skin, but better. K18 AirWash The future of fresh hair. This invisible mist clears away any oil and odour while refreshing the scalp. With a scalp-friendly formula and a clean finish, it keeps your blow-dry alive a little (or a lot) longer. Byredo Desert Dawn Inspired by early desert light, this fragrance is warm, spicy, and quietly powerful. Notes of pink pepper, cardamom, and musk linger beautifully on the skin; it's smooth, sultry, and quietly addictive. Chanel Gua Sha Crafted from sleek ceramic and embossed with that iconic double C, Chanel's take on gua sha is equal parts tool and treasure. It lifts, sculpts, and de-puffs with every glide. Use it post-serum to boost glow and circulation, and elevate your top shelf.

Harness the power of two powerhouse ingredients, with this two-in-one serum that's 54 percent less on Amazon. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles is a high priority for many skincare buffs. With an assortment of anti-aging products on the market, it can be hard to know what actually works. For anyone not wanting to test out a myriad of products, then one that is said to be "clinically proven to reverse five years worth of wrinkles" is the bestselling L'Oréal Paris Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml). This two-in-one serum, which usually retails at a whopping £37.99, has been dropped on Amazon to just £17.39, saving 54 percent off the RRP. Considering rival Boots still stocks it at full price, it's a deal not to be missed. Unlike similar products on the market, this one harnesses the power of two serums, offering double the ingredients to expertly target wrinkles, firmness, and radiance. On one side there is a collagen peptide booster that works to help "rebuild firmness", while the other uses vitamins B3 and C to "reignite radiance and even skin tone with two powerhouse vitamins." L'Oréal Paris Age Defying Serum Le Duo, 30ml £37.99 £17.39 Amazon Buy here Product Description Suitable for all skin types, the serum duo is said to be fast-absorbing, with 18 percent of users saying that they saw instant firmness, while a further 83 percent of women saw a reduction in wrinkles and 87 percent saw an increase in radiance.

Meanwhile, Boots stocks the Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Face Serum for £45, which is another dual serum that boasts two powerhouse ingredients, thiamidol and hyaluronic acid, to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and leave skin looking more even and radiant.

Beauty deal of the week Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots. Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation. Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume. Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang. The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy. One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!" A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"

Dylan Efron realised how much he 'needed to step up his skincare' when he joined The Traitors
Dylan Efron realised how much he "needed to step up [his] skincare" when he joined 'The Traitors'. The 33-year-old influencer - who is the younger brother of Hollywood actor Zac Efron - recently starred on the Nikki Garcia, Sam Asghari and Chrishell Stause amongst a host of others, and got something of a "wake-up call" about looking after his complexion. Asked if he picked up any tips on set, he told E! News : "No, but it was a wake-up call that I needed to step up my game because everybody looks so great on that cast, and they all put so much effort into their wardrobe, their skincare, and we don't have makeup or styling on that show. So it's just what we're able to do. It was a learning curve for me!" Nowadays, Dylan favours a routine that takes him "about 20 seconds" that is a three-step process made up of Clarins Double Serum Anti-Aging + Anti-Wrinkle Serum, then Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream and Clarins UV Plus SPF 50 Anti Pollution Face Sunscreen. The need for Dylan's sunscreen came from a summer where he overdid it in the heat and realised that he needed to take protection "seriously". He said: "It was like one summer I was in the sun a little too much, and I saw how many freckles I had. That was like, oh, this is a real thing, I need to take this serious. Yeah, so I wear sunscreen every day, I think everybody should." Meanwhile, Dylan was also asked about the kind of footwear he prefers to wear when travelling and admitted that it was none other than the classic sneaker brand Converse. He said: "The weird answer is Converse. I've been hooked on Converse. They're so much comfier than similar shoes, so I'm wearing Converse every day, and I feel comfortable when I have to walk a lot. So Converse is my jam right now."
