Anna Johnson’s favourite travel tips incorporate both oranges and a spot of concealer…

Always take a fresh orange or tangerine when travelling coach and open it at the stalest point of the flight. The spray from a fresh orange and the welcome dribble of juice in the parched confines of an economy cabin are as a good as a facial. Also carry lilac, rose or bush essence-infused water and use with profuse abandon. The squalor is air travel is often a question of scent and anything that smells fresh will make you feel lovely … in rather unlovely surrounds.

I have always found that hauling on a massive make-up bag of remedies, oils, balms etc, a teensy bit futile. Eye-cream, a nice moisturiser (like Clarins Beauty flash), a really light cleanser, a floral spritz and the orange are all you really need. If you care for skin during the flight, all you need before landing is a bit of concealer under the eyes, a tinted moisturiser and some blush.

I once tried to paint my toenails while on descent into Denpasar airport. I squished through arrivals with half baked candy pink varnish sticking to pale green snake skin mules. I would have been much better off quietly eating an orange!
