Bass offers her tips to keep you from looking disheveled when you need tolook sharp:
-- "Whiten" Up: The same pressurized air that dries out your skin willalso zap the moisture from your eyes, causing them to become irritated andbloodshot. A tiny bottle of eye drops will keep you in the clear. "A longflight will have your eyes screaming for relief," Bass says. "Rohto eye dropslubricate and soothe your eyes." Rohto eye drops, www.cool4eyes.com, come in atravel-friendly .4-ounce bottle that is allowed on airplanes.
-- Prepare for Flight: "Airplane cabins are probably drier than a desert,and the low humidity can really dry you out," says Bass. "Drink a lot ofwater before, during and after the flight, avoiding alcoholic or saltybeverages and snacks, like tomato juice or peanuts, which can dehydrate thebody further, particularly your skin and eyes."
-- Hydrate your Skin: Pack a teeny-tiny bottle of unscented moisturizerto slather on your face post flight, Bass advises. "If you aren't one tolather on the cream, at the very least, moisturizing lip balm can keep yourlips from looking dry and chapped," she adds.
-- Hair Repair: Falling asleep in your airplane seat can send your hairoff-course, to say the least, but it's hard to bring styling products onboard. "I recommend single-use styling sheets," says Bass. "You can run intothe bathroom and fix your hair easily without having to douse it with water."
-- Freshen Up Your Scent: The stress of traveling can cause yourdeodorant to fail, and eating on the run without brushing your teeth can leadto bad breath, but you also don't want to cover up with a lot of cologne orperfume. "You can now get antiperspirant/deodorant in single-use wipes thatcan be stored in the smallest spaces, so you can always feel confident thatyou're not 'offending,'" says Bass. "I also recommend teeth wipes that you canfit over your finger -- they clean and freshen the teeth, gums and mouth, evenwithout water, when you don't have the time -- or the place -- to brush."Available Topic Expert(s): For information on the listed expert(s), clickappropriate link.Gita Basshttp://profnet.prnewswire.com/Subscriber/ExpertProfile.aspx?ei=76499
