Fresh en flight beauty products and tips - Chill Mate Active Cooling Eye Pads
Long journeys are great for creating your very own pampering time. OK, you might get the odd funny look if you pull out a pedicure kit, but no one will take a second glance if you slip a cooling eye mask over parched, puffy peepers before getting 40 winks. Where ordinary gel eye masks need to be cooled first in the fridge - not always possible en flight -this mask uses a super absorbent Crystal Polymer textile which cools simply by soaking it in water, and don\'t worry about a sodden mask, all the water is absorbed leaving the mask comfortably dry.
Once again, avoid making up eyes after your snooze and opt for Victoria Beckham-sized sunglasses instead. A-list-tastic!
