You are more likely to die from a bee sting than in a plane crash

DITCH THE MAKE-UP

'Remove all traces of make-up before you board. It can dry the skin, clog pores and trigger breakouts,' says dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting. But if you can't live without it, opt for lighter alternatives.

'Swap foundation for a tinted moisturiser to allow skin to breathe and replace lipstick with a tinted balm to keep lips hydrated,' says celebrity facialist Sarah Chapman.
For a make-up-free, rosy complexion, tap your fingertips around the face to boost oxygen levels, and deflate eye bags by pressing gently along the eye sockets.

Sitting in one place for a long time slows down blood flow and leads to a build-up of fluids in the feet and ankles, resulting in puffiness. In more serious cases, this can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in which a blood clot forms.

'Curl and uncurl your toes, and flex them back and point them forward every half an hour, change the position of your legs and stretch your back and arms,' says yoga expert Chris James.
