What long-haul flight essentials do I need?

Heading away this summer and need to pack the perfect in-flight beauty bag? Don't worry as we have all the best long-haul flight essentials covered. From the silkiest eye mask to block out light and soothe tired eyes, to hydrating facial mists to boost skin moisture, these are the products you should never travel on an airplane without.
Which are the best long-haul flight essentials?
1. Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax Sleep Mist
This pillow mist from Aromatherapy Associates has been specially formulated to help you drift off into a peaceful sleep (even in the most un-peaceful of situations such as onboard a flight!).
Made without lavender, it's perfect for those who hate the traditional scent of sleep remedies. Instead, it's infused with chamomile, vetivert and sandalwood to help soothe and calm the senses. Just one spritz will leave you feeling more relaxed in seconds.
3. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist 100ml
A facial mist is an absolute must-have whether you're flying short or long-haul. The air on a flight zaps the moisture from your skin, so keeping it hydrated will help to prevent dehydration and dullness when you land.
The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist is one of our absolute favourites as it contains a superfood blend, which shields against aggressors while keeping your skin plumped-up and glowing.
Spritz every 2 hours for maximum benefit while flying.
4. Grow Gorgeous CNY Hair Brush Mini
Sleeping on a long-haul flight can leave your hair looking a little frazzled, which is why we recommend always packing a hairbrush.
The Grow Gorgeous Mini Hair Brush is one of our favourites as it detangles without pulling and is small enough not to take up too much room.
5. AMELIORATE Intensive Lip Treatment 15ml
Lips are one of the first body parts to lose moisture when flying, which is why we love AMELIORATE's Intensive Lip Treatment.
Thought of by beauty editors as seriously brilliant, it's one of the best treatments for dry, dehydrated or damaged lips, and one of our absolute favourites as both an overnight treatment and long-haul flight essential.
It's also non-greasy and easily-absorbed, which makes it great for those who don't like the feel of traditional balms.
6. Bioderma Sensibio Cleansing Micellar Water Wipes Sensitive Skin (25 Pack)
We don't recommend face wipes in usual circumstances, but while flying they're a great travel essential, and these ones from Bioderma are brilliant.
Perfectly hydrating, they are a no-rinse formula that gets rid of all makeup and impurities so you can apply the skincare in your next steps. They are also hypoallergenic, as well as paraben and alcohol-free.
