In this new contributor series, we reveal topics that will enhance your everyday life. From how to elevate the effects of long-haul travel to engaging in wellness activities while you are at work. It will be stories and journeys to create a life of wellness no matter your age or where you may live. We begin with the travel rituals where we explore the wellbeing of water.
THE TRAVEL RITUALS
By Land Essentials
Whether you are travelling for a vacation or business, the excitement of landing at a new destination can sometimes leave you with that post-flight exhaustion feeling. Land Essentials shares their in-flight tips on how to avoid the effects of on-board travel when it comes to dehydration. It is the simplicity of creating travel rituals with the wellbeing of water, what to avoid, what to eat, and what to take on-board.
BE ARRIVAL READY
Hours in airports, and then in the air, our hydration can take a real hit when on-route. The air conditioning, low humidity, and the low oxygen levels on flights can cause dehydration faster than while on the ground. Dehydration can present fatigue, dizziness, headaches, lack lustre skin or a poor mood – here are a few ways to stay hydrated on your long haul, guaranteeing you will arrive ready to take on your holiday or work plans.
THE AQUA FACTOR
1. FILL UP YOUR WATER BOTTLE
While most airports require your water bottle to be empty while walking through security, you will find filtered water taps on the other side. Fill yours up prior to boarding the flight so you are ready to sip as soon as you take your seat. If your bottle runs out during the flight, ask the flight attendant to refill it for you. Take along the DAILY LEMON (Ritual) powder and add it to your water bottle to make each sip a little tastier.
WHAT TO AVOID
2. AVOID CAFFEINE
We are the first to enjoy a coffee on a flight! Caffeine dehydrates the body and the skin, so minimising your intake mid-air is a wonderful way to ensure you maintain hydration during the flight. If you must have yours (you are only human) follow it up with Marine Coconut (Hydration) electrolyte blend to replenish lost minerals.
3. AVOID ALCOHOL
The excitement of an overseas holiday always calls for a glass of champagne. Like caffeine, alcohol can dehydrate our skin and body. If you insist on having a glass or two, follow each up with a glass of electrolyte rich water.
On arrival take your time easing into your destination – hydration is a post-flight ritual no matter where you may land.
PACK SOME POWER
4. PACK ELECTROLYTES
On that note! Be sure to pack electrolytes to ensure the essentials minerals lost during travel can be replaced. The Land Essentials Marine Coconut (Hydration) blend was created with your travel plans in mind.
The Facts: Containing Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, and Calcium – this blend provides energy restoration and mineral balance.
HYDRATE WITH FOOD
5. EAT YOUR HYDRATION
Because plane food is a little bland, we are big advocates for packing fresh food kits for your flight to support hydration from within. Think fruit, think crunchy vegetables, or even grab a delicious salad at the airport.
A Travel Food Note: Always check what food is allowed to be brought on board locally and when travelling to international destinations.
IN-FLIGHT BEAUTY
6. TO MOISTURISE
Dry cabin air is not friendly for our skin. Pack a rich moisturiser in your carry-on case and apply it on take-off and prior to landing.
We love the Yay for Earth Sensitive Skin Face Lotion for this, and you can also use it as a hand cream, cuticle cream, and for the entire family. Even starting the journey with a hydrating face mask is a beautiful way to ensure you land with a little pre-holiday glow.

7. HAVE A LEMON WATER
Instead of your morning tea or coffee to adjust to the time zone, have warm lemon water. Not only will it support hydration, but it will also help with healthy digestive and your immune system support on arrival.
Take Land Essentials Daily Lemon (Ritual) blend and ask the flight attendant for a little hot water to stir it through.
