There’s no denying it, jet lag is brutal.
Extreme tiredness sets in and your body clock doesn’t know what’s going on – and it can feel like you have no idea what day it is, never mind what timezone you’re in.
Not to mention what it can do to your skin.
Long-haul flights can end up causing all kinds of problems for your skin, leaving it feeling extremely dry and looking lacklustre.
With the lack of sleep, air pressure, on-again-off-again air conditioning and just general dryness of the cabin air, it can really wreak havoc on your skin – even with the best efforts to prevent it.

And just when we thought we had seen it all when it comes to skincare, a new company have released a mask specifically targeted for post-flight skin – and people are going crazy for it.
Introducing Summer Fridays’ Jet Lag Mask.
The product is jam-packed with ingredients like vitamin C to brighten the skin; chestnut extract for a gentle exfoliation; green tea to reduce puffiness; and Niacinamide to reduce the appearance of powers and fine lines.

The mask is designed to have a thick, balmy texture – and you put it on as if it were a cream.
You leave a visible layer of the mask on “cleansed, dry skin” – including the under eye area – for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Then wipe off the excess with a tissue, or with a warm cloth or towel.
The brand claims that the mask with leave your skin instantly looking “renewed, radiant and ready for anything.”
