Clean beauty advocate Vanessa Megan is the founder of an organic skincare brand, but admits even she falls out of her skincare routine when away. There’s one surprising item she does take when she travels, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As founder of an organic skincare brand, you would expect Vanessa Megan Gray Lyndon to be the person wearing a sheet mask on the plane. \u201cOh gosh, only if it\u2019s dark!\u201d she says. \u201cI go make-up free and put on a nourishing balm, and that absorbs during the flight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pre-pandemic, Lyndon took an annual trip to Hong Kong for a trade show, but these days the Sydney-based entrepreneur stays closer to home \u2013 travelling to Melbourne for staff training, Perth to visit family and her holiday house on the NSW South Coast. And even she falls out of her skincare routine when away. \u201cJust aim for a good cleanse and moisturise \u2013 you can do the rest when you get home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somage peppermint tea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI don\u2019t drink coffee, so tea\u2019s important to me. This one\u2019s organic and the peppermint is so pure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lemon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMy best tip for pimples: dab on a drop of lemon juice. It can sting but the citric acid dries the pimple and helps with any scarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A drop of lemon juice can help dry out pimples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copper water bottle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen you put water into copper, it apparently kills bugs naturally, so this is great to take overseas if you\u2019re not quite sure of the water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silk pillowcase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMost of us sleep for a minimum of six hours, so it\u2019s nice to have some home comforts when you travel. If I can\u2019t take my pillow, I\u2019ll take the pillow slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natural essential oil perfume<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI get nervous when I fly and this helps to calm me. It\u2019s a balance of sensual musk and earthy florals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Self-help book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI don\u2019t get much time to read, except when I\u2019m fully unplugged on a plane. How to Be Well is helping me to understand that it is okay to take a step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanessa Megan toner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis hydrating mist is an all-rounder that rehydrates skin in winter and summer, in air-conditioning and heating. It also sets make-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silk scrunchy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI wear my hair in a topknot a lot, and a silk scrunchy doesn\u2019t pull or break your hair. I share it with my daughter \u2013 we had four but now we\u2019re down to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanessa Megan sheet mask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is so healing and hydrating, it\u2019s the Mac Daddy of masks. It\u2019s 99.9 per cent coconut, submerged in a serum with lime caviar, which is a native Australian botanical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Charlotte Lotus necklace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI never take this off. I play with the lotus, which moves on the chain, and it makes me feel grounded. I\u2019ve given it as a gift to my entire staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CocoCoast Natural Coconut Water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI always bring a bottle of CocoCoast Coconut Water when I fly. It\u2019s filled with electrolytes, vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biode Tinted Lip Balm \u2013 Waratah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m addicted to lip balm. This is 100 per cent plastic-free and uses root colours instead of mica. It keeps lips hydrated and gives them a pink glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comfortable loungewear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI love Natasha Gan. She\u2019s a Sydney designer, and her loungewear is super-comfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
