» Q: I’ve been traveling more frequently for work lately and am noticing that jet-lag and lack of sleep are giving me dark, puffy eyes. What’s a good travel-friendly remedy?

A: While a good night’s sleep is a good remedy, this might not be an option when traveling. Soak a washcloth in cool water and apply it to your eyes with gentle pressure for a few minutes to reduce puffiness. Also, Mayo Clinic advises that sleeping with your head slightly elevated can help reduce dark, tired circles.

» Q: With all of the baggage restrictions, I’m not sure how to fit my entire skin care regimen in my carry-on luggage. What are the essentials?

A: In her Foders travel blog, skin expert Dr. Leslie Baumann recommends taking along the following products: a non-foaming daily cleanser, face moisturizer with SPF, night treatment, hydrating lip balm and a body lotion for hands and feet. Remember to bring only products in containers that are 3.4 ounces or smaller.

» Q: What’s a good face mask to help my appearance bounce back after a late night out on the town?

A: Blend two peeled bananas, two tablespoons of honey and one peeled peach (no pit) in the blender. Then, mix in two tablespoons of ground almonds and enough ground oatmeal to create a gritty texture. Spread the paste across your face and neck, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

» Q: What’s the quickest way to hide the dark circles under my eyes?

A: Always keep concealer close at hand for hiding those pesky dark circles. Look for a creamy, lightweight concealer that’ll diminish darkness without looking heavy or cakey. Also, a formula with light-reflecting pigments like Stila Brighten and Correct Concealer Fair can diffuse the light to brighten the eyes.

» Q: There are so many disposable razors to choose from in the shaving aisle. How should I pick?

A: Jen Adkins of About points out that razors with disposable blade heads typically offer the best quality. (Never, ever opt for the single blade plastic disposable razor!) Look for double or triple blades – more blades than that can actually irritate skin.
