As a flight attendant, looking and feeling fresh at 40,000ft can sometimes be hard. Not to mention the jet lag! At Cabin Crew Life, we have put together a list of 6 must-have beauty products that as flight attendants we can't live without. Make sure you carry them all when traveling to keep you looking and feeling fresh on your next flight.
Cabin Crew Life Compression Stockings
An absolute travel essential. Whether you're standing for long periods of time serving customers, or sleeping in the crew rest compartment our Cabin Crew Life moderate compression stockings are a life saver. Our pantyhose perfectly snug your legs while also shaping your figure, helping support the blood circulation and helping to prevent leg fatigue, swelling and a variety of health conditions such as spider veins, varicose veins, and DVT. They are so comfy you won't want to miss a day wearing them on your flights!
Face Mist
There is no better feeling than hydrated skin. Flying dries out your skin making it flaky and ruining your make up. Spraying a rose water mist is the remedy we all need. Rose water face mist boosts radiance and delivers long lasting hydration to your skin. It also balances your skin tone and improves your sleep. You will find yourself reapplying rose water spray for that yummy smell over and over again.
Lip Balm
Moisturized and smooth lips are key when applying our lipstick, more so when you have to leave your lipstick on for hours until duty finishes. Applying a lip balm like Pawpaw ointment under or on top of your lipstick will leave your lips silky smooth. It adds shimmer acting like a gloss while hydrating your lips and preventing them from becoming chapped.
Hand Lotion
We want soft and moisturized hands, especially when the air inside the cabin sucks the life out of your skin. Dryness is the enemy when flying. We recommend using a hydrating hand lotion to moisturize your skin and prevent your cuticles drying out.
Hydrating Eye Drops
Lubricating eye drops provide moisture and hydrate your eyes. We love Refresh or Systane Ultra drops which both come without preservatives. They are sometimes packed in handy single-use containers. We recommend these especially if dry eyes is something you battle with when flying.
Eye Serum or Eye Cream
We love using Kiehl's or Ordinary eye products for the under eye area to make you look and feel fresh. Traveling can cause under eye puffiness and dehydration.
Adding these must-have beauty products to your bag before every flight can be a game-changer for your health and wellbeing, so don't forget to pack them!

Healthy circulation is one of the most important functions of the body and plays a significant role in your overall health. It helps your lungs, heart and muscles function efficiently and helps you to fight off sickness. As well as wearing compression stockings on flights there are other ways to support healthy blood circulation in your body. There are many natural ways to improve circulation, including choosing foods that stimulate blood flow.
Here are the best foods to optimize blood flow:
1. Cayenne Pepper: increases circulation, improves blood vessel strength and reduces plaque buildup in your arteries.
2. Pomegranate: improves blood flow and oxygenation of muscle tissue, which could especially aid active individuals.

4. Cinnamon: reduces blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels. This improves circulation and keeps your heart healthy.
5. Garlic: increase tissue blood flow and lower blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels.
6. Fatty Fish: contain omega-3 fatty acids which beneficial for circulation because they promote the release of nitric oxide, which dilates your blood vessels and increases blood flow.
7. Beets: relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to muscle tissue.
8. Turmeric: reduce oxidative stress and decrease inflammation.
9. Leafy Greens: eating nitrate-rich foods may help improve circulation by dilating blood vessels, allowing your blood to flow more easily.
10. Citrus Fruits: decreases inflammation and reduces blood pressure and stiffness in your arteries while improving blood flow and nitric oxide production.
11. Walnuts: eating walnuts may reduce blood pressure, improve blood vessel function and decrease inflammation, which may be particularly helpful for those with diabetes.
