With the Bolton weather less than satisfactory, it’s no wonder so many of us are heading off on autumn getaway. Katie Lucas reveals the top travel essentials!

In-flight wonder.

Even short flights can leave skin feeling dry, dehydrated and altogether washed out – not the best start to a holiday. To combat the effects make sure you pack a moisturiser.

Prescriptive’s Super Flight Cream at £25 will take you from jet-lagger to jet setter in an instant.

Frshen up.

Save space in your hand luggage by swapping your usual cleanser for a packet of baby wipes. They’re also perfect for freshening up when the sun has you “glowing”, and can even be used as a shoe polish, and to get rid of light marks on your clothing. A great all-rounder. Boots Expert Baby Sensitive Wipes at £2.39.

Get lippy.

Handbag size, with a sun protection factor of 15 and packed with nourishing shea butter — Clarins Sun Sheer Lipstick at £13.50, is the only lippy you’ll need.
