The Allies Edit.
The post-travel glow-up you didn’t know you needed.
Long-haul flights are a modern miracle… until you land in the wrong time zone with puffy eyes, dry skin, and the energy of a forgotten suitcase at baggage claim. But fear not, we’ve created the ultimate jet lag recovery routine, Allies-style. Skincare, comfort, and little luxuries that help you bounce back faster (and maybe, just maybe, even enjoy the recovery).
Whether you’re heading into a holiday or rolling back into real life, this is your get-it-together guide to feeling human again.
Rehydrate, Reboot, Revive
Let’s get one thing clear, dehydration is your arch nemesis.
You’ve just spent hours in recycled cabin air, sipping questionable coffee and dodging in-flight snacks. It’s time to replenish.
Vidrate Electrolyte Powder Sachets
Add to water. Chug. Repeat. These little sachets help your body rehydrate quickly with a hit of vitamins, electrolytes, and zero faff. A total travel hack.
BYOMA Hydrating Mist
Spritz your face like you’re main character-ing your recovery montage. This ultra-hydrating mist brings your skin back to life and smells like a spa. Bonus points for the glow.
BYOMA SO Hydrated Set
When jet lag and dry cabins try to dull your glow, this little trio steps in and saves the day. A hydration hit and skin reset in one, it's perfect for post-flight revivals.
Soothe the Flight Face
We’re talking puffy under-eyes, dull skin, and that “did I age 10 years on this flight?” look.
Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask
If you do one thing post-flight (or even on the plane!), make it this mask. It’s ultra-soothing, deeply hydrating, and brings your skin back from the brink.
Pixi Under Eye Patches
Stick them in the fridge before use (or on the hotel mini bar shelf) and feel the magic. Bye-bye puffiness, hello bright eyes.
The Inkey List Tripeptide Lip Balm
Cabin air is not lip-friendly. This plumping balm hydrates, smooths, and gives that healthy, juicy finish.
Get Cosy, Not Cranky
In-flight comfort is a crucial part of winning the comeback.
Ergonomic Travel Pillow
Not just for the plane, this pillow is perfect for post-travel Netflix sessions, power naps, or train rides to your final destination.
Compression Socks
Unsexy? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. These help reduce swelling and improve circulation so your legs don’t feel like they’re still at 38,000 feet.
Breathable Sleep Mask + Loop Earplugs
Block the world out. Whether you’re crashing out mid-flight or powering through noisy hotel neighbours, these two are your recovery MVPs.
Nikura Essential Oil Roll-On
Choose a calming scent like lavender or eucalyptus. Roll it on your wrists, neck, and even under your nose. It’s like therapy in a bottle, without the airport meltdown.
The Fresh Start Finish
A shower can only do so much, it’s the extras that make the difference.
Travel-Size Toiletries
Your own shampoo, cleanser, and body wash > whatever the hotel gave you. Use your favourites to feel like you again.
Bonus tip: Do a full unpack, wash your face properly, and change into soft clothes immediately. Don’t scroll. Don’t “just lie down.” Finish strong and wake up ready to carpe diem.
The Allies Hot Take on Jet Lag Recovery
Travel is glam, but recovery is sacred. The Allies ritual is simple: hydrate, mask up, get cosy, and smell good.
It's saved us on work trips, destination weddings, and the occasional 4am airport regret.
This isn’t just a routine, it’s your soft landing.
