Jetting Jet Drag: Christina Aguilera’s makeup person, Stephen Sollitto (who also does Winona Judd, Charlotte Ross and Carmen Electra) offers tips on handling jet lag:
1. The night before your flight, put on self-tanner, as plane air makes skin look ashy
2. Put good moisturizer on face, neck and arms 30 mins. Before flight and 30 mins. Before landing.
3. Put Kiehls lip balm or Neosporin on the inside of your nose to avoid a dry, red, irritated nose.
4. Keep makeup simple. Use cover up to mask dark circles, don’t put mascara on until right before you land.
5. Get a gel neck pillow, drink tons of water
