This nourishing face mask uses skin-repairing ceramides to rescue flight-weary skin.

Our tester says “I tried it as a mask, night cream and regular moisturiser. It’s invisible, so I didn’t feel self-conscious using it on a flight.

The part of our brain that processes memory is right next to the part that processes scent. A single spritz of this warming fragrance is especially transportative, with creamy sandalwood, fresh Egyptian jasmine and earthy Italian bergamot notes that suit all climates. The set comes with a refillable gold bottle for extra travel style.

This monogrammable leather-like vanity case holds an array of beautiful travel-sized products such as a personalisable lip balm and a nourishing hand cream. Super useful, no matter where you’re going.

Our tester says “Every travel lover will adore this, whether they use it or admire it as a vintage inspired keepsake.”

This do-it-all moisturiser boosts radiance, lightens dark spots and improves skin condition.

Our tester says “I saw a huge improvement in my dull, dry skin – it’s like a daily spa facial.”

This genius kit gives you everything you need to apply small strips of false lashes underneath your own, making them undetectable and natural-looking. The technique requires practice but, once on, the lashes last for up to 10 days – ideal for travelling.

This classic SPF now comes with Mexoryl 400, a sun filter that targets the 380 to 400 nanometre range of UVA rays, which are hard to protect against. It’s lightweight, non-greasy and works on all skin types – key when snow can reflect up to 90 per cent of UV radiation.

Those with sensitive skin can struggle to find an SPF that protects and is enjoyable to use: this orange tube of wonder delivers so much. The water- and sweat-resistant formula is the consummate companion for water sports, plus it keeps skin hydrated for up to eight hours, all without leaving white streaks.

Our tester says: “For a thick-ish cream it absorbs very quickly without being greasy at all, and it’s ocean-friendly. Ideal for people with very fair skin, dermatitis or increased sun sensitivity.”

Australian sun protection is widely known to be the best in the market, and this weightless and invisible formulation is the best of the best. Like its more mattifying predecessor, this SPF seems destined for cult status, but this version has the added bonus of skin-regulating niacinamide, ideal for ensuring your skin doesn’t overproduce oil. It also uses subtle light-reflecting pearls that melt into the skin for a dewy finish with no white cast in sight.

This spray-on SPF contains soothing Australian botanicals and protective antioxidants, which give it an edge over the rest. A simple spritz of mist produces a gentle, non-greasy glow. It has high SPF protection, and the lack of white cast means you can use it over make-up.

A deep-cleansing gel that uses gentle salicylic and azelaic acid to sweep away sweat, salt water and SPF, which can clog pores.

Our tester says “This stuff is amazing. My skin looked noticeably brighter, clearer and fresher after just one use – it felt as if I’d had a facial.”

This clay-based mask, which comes in a handy recycled tin, helps to decongest your skin, making it an ideal salve for bacteria-laden flights. It’s easily washed off to reveal less visible pores and more matte skin.

Our tester says “My skin can get greasy on flights, but this left it calmer and less reactive.”

This fragrance free intense moisturiser is a must for cold climates. It’s deeply hydrating, prevents transepidermal water loss from the skin and protects against environmental aggressors such as pollution.

Using a combo of vitamins C and E to protect against environmental damage, this is the go-to serum for all skin needs.

Our tester says “My skin looked brighter, and a patch of redness was reduced. The small bottle is easy to slip into a carry-on too.”

Every adventurer needs an SOS skin remedy, and this tube contains moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid, skin-repairing ceramides and petrolatum that locks the ingredients into the skin.

Our tester says “I used this under socks at a festival and my usually sore feet were super soft and didn’t ache at all.”

It comes in nine gloriously vibrant shades and its pot is made with 43 per cent recycled plastic.

Some tinted moisturisers can feel a little greasy, but this formula is light, SPF 20 and comes in five adaptable shades for those with golden undertones – a space-saving moisturiser and foundation in one little tube.

Matte lipstick in arid temperatures can too often mean cracked lips, but if it’s too moisturising it becomes heavy in sweaty weather. This lipstick, in 23 shades, combines pigmented matte hues with a slight moisturising sheen.

Our tester says “It’s my new travel make-up essential, lasting all night without touch-ups.”
