It's hard to look as chic as a celebrity [1] when you step off an airplane, especially when you land in Hawaii with a scarf and boots on (yeah, I've done it).

The recycled, dry cabin air can cause parched skin and hair. An article last year in Environmental Science & Technology [2] suggests that "interactions between body oils and ozone found in airplane cabins could lead to the formation of chemical byproducts that might worsen nasal irritation, headaches, dry eyes and lips, and other common air traveler complaints."

• Bring an eye mask [6] and earplugs. After all, you need your beauty sleep!
