Mullein & Sparrow’s Balancing Face Mist Toner and Skin Rejuvenating Eye Mask by iLuminage

A skin-saving eye mask
Getting shut-eye on a plane isn’t always easy, but you can increase the odds by donning an eye mask. The iLuminage Skin Rejuvenating Eye Mask not only blocks out light to make sleeping easier, it’s embedded with Cupron’s copper oxide technology, clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

SleepPhones

Headphones comfortable enough to sleep in
Falling asleep listening to a podcast or favourite playlist while in flight is commonplace, but using ear buds and bulky headphones can make it near-impossible to stay asleep. SleepPhones use ultra-slim, high-quality flat speakers embedded inside of a soft, machine-washable headband so they stay put and let you snooze comfortably.

A cashmere wrap that gives back
The Red Twist wrap is a 100 per cent cashmere sweater-wrap that’s cosy without being bulky. Each wrap weighs in at just 13 ounces, so it can easily be tossed in a carryon without taking up too much precious cargo room. Wraps are available in 17 colours and money from the sale of each goes to help educate young girls in Asia through a donation to Room to Read.
