You might recognize Ashley Madekwe from her turns on hit TV shows like Revenge or Salam. But more likely from Instagram where the South Londoner regularly shares her healthy lifestyle intel—including how she keeps her skin hydrated and glowy on the fly—with her 667K followers.
That was the topic of a recent story in which Madekwe shared the six travel skin-care products she uses on her face in flight. (The info is saved on her beauty highlight, btw.) First, she removes any dirt or make-up with Sephora coconut water cleansing wipes. Then, to help combat the dry, cabin conditions, she uses a toner. Her go-to? Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe, herbs and rosewater. (She also spritzes it throughout the flight when she needs a refresh.)
