2. Spraying on some hydrating face mist not only moisturises skin, but perks you up as well.
3. if you have a mini fridge near your seat, it helps to put in a gel-based eye cream you can dab on your under eye area for a quick pick-me-up after a late night.
4. if you’re short on space, opt for a multi-tasking product like good ’ol Vaseline to soften dry cuticles, protect against dry lips and soothe dry elbows.
