From New York to Paris, travel, lack of sleep and constant need to be camera ready doesn’t give your skin a lot of time to relax.

Luckily Net-A-Porter’s Beauty Director Newby Hands, who knows a thing or two about fashion month madness, has some helpful tips to see you through September with a flawless complexion.
Use A Sheet Mask Over Your Makeup For A Quick Refresh
My trick is to use the right mask over my makeup to quickly revive my skin. Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Sheet Mask is amazing for giving weary complexions an incredible glow. And for the eyes I love the 111 Skin Sub Zero eye masks – they’re excellent for de-puffing as they contain an effective anti-inflammatory complex.
Choose A Great Long-Lasting Base
Try Hourglass’s Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation as it contains innovative active ingredients that result in a longwearing and waterproof finish. Concealer (I love Nars) is also essential for extra coverage and wear. My top tip is to finish your base and concealer by using a Kabuki brush to lightly buff all over the face. This gives makeup that seamless and natural finish, making it look like perfect skin as opposed to perfect makeup.

Use Multi-Tasking Products For Ease
Anything that multitasks is a bonus. I’m obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter as it can be used alone on bare skin, as well as under or over makeup. The variety of shades on offer means that you can match the product to your skin tone for a naturally beautiful look. It’s guaranteed to make you glow.
RMS’s Lip2Cheek pots are also great for when you’re on the go. They’re highly pigmented and will instantly flush your lips and cheeks to enhance your look. And when time is short I suggest sleeping in a nourishing face mask like Tata Harper’s new Moisturising Mask, which makes a great deep-treating night cream to replenish and soothe.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated On The Plane
When on the plane ensure you clean your skin first and then hydrate it. The Omorovicza Queen of Hungary mist is great for arid complexions. Face oils are also extremely affective in keeping skin nourished and plump. La Mer’s Renewal Oil and Dr Barbara Sturm’s Hyaluronic Serum are my inflight essentials for locking in moisture.
Improve Your Sleep
If you can stick to even the shortest mini pre-sleep routine it really does make a difference to getting a better night’s sleep, and so helping you switch off the mind and body from a hectic day. First use a sleep spray like this Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray in your bedroom, then use the Aromatherapy Deep Relax Oil in your running bath. And if showering, I recommend rubbing the oil into your chest before jumping in – I think it’s the best sleep oil on the market. Additionally, De Mamiel offer an incredible ‘Sleep Series’ of products which help with all insomnia issues.
