Tips for travel: keep your hands hydrated

We all know that it’s essential to keep hydrated while flying, but how often do we think to extend this beyond drinking water and applying a nourishing lip balm throughout the flight?

Flying dehydrates all parts of your skin, which is why – if you love sporting super smooth hands – it’s important to keep your hands hydrated throughout the journey. The simple solution? Keep some hand cream…err…handy.

Here are some of our favourite ultra-hydrating hand creams (all of which are also conveniently less than 100mL – so you can take them with you on international flights too!):

L’Occitane Shea Hand Cream – this hand cream contains shea, honey, sweet almond extract, and marshmellow to help heal and protect dry, cracked hands.
Urban Rituelle Flourish Organics Vanilla Organic Hand Cream (Mini) – this natural, nurturing hand cream uses aloe vera and jojoba oil to nourish hands and condition split cuticles.
Organic Essence Age-Defying Hand Fix  – this lightweight, non-greasy hand cream nourishes skin while restoring moisture to hands. Plus, it contains SPF15, so it’ll be great to use on summer vacations!
