Jet-setter Cayla Jade of @lifeoflayovers shares her secret for keeping her skin in top condition while she flies from one corner of the globe to the other.
Travel blogger Cayla Jade clocks up around 1500 hours of flying every year — that’s 65 full days! With a hectic schedule of stopovers in places such as Indonesia and Japan, her skin is exposed to endless climate changes and dehydrating conditions. Wearing a full face of makeup every day means a detoxifying skincare routine is crucial for keeping her skin clear. A fan of natural ingredients, Cayla says the Essano Clear Complexion range ticks all the boxes for her. “It’s my favourite part of the day — taking all my makeup off!” she says.

What sort of impact does flying so often have on your skin?
If you don’t look after your skin it can get very dry being in the aircraft and also the aircon of the hotels, so it’s crucial you hydrate and moisturise often.
What do you look for in a skincare range?
Natural is always the way to go. I love that Essano’s Clear Complexion range has none of the bad stuff, it simply treats your skin the way it should be treated. Plus, you can just grab it off the supermarket shelf when doing your weekly shop — bonus points for convenience!
Cayla on the Essano Clear Complexion Range
The Essano Clear Complexion range exceeded my expectations: I loved how each product has its individual benefits yet works to complement the other products. After one week of using the Essano Clear Complexion range, I found my skin felt more balanced; I noticed the redness in my cheeks wasn’t as noticeable and my skin felt smoother.
- Essano Clear Complexion Certified Organic Mist Toner:Oh my gosh, this is absolutely incredible – especially after wearing a full face of makeup, it’s so nice to take your makeup off and finish with a spritz of this mist toner to calm and balance my skin.
- Essano Clear Complexion Rapid Action Blemish Gel: As I am one of those very few people who are lucky enough to not really get blemishes or breakouts this is the product I use the least, however, it is great on those small hormonal blemishes and dries them out quickly.
- Essano Clear Complexion Purifying Gel Cleanser: It leaves your skin feeling cleansed but not stripped bare like other cleansers can do.
- Essano Clear Complexion Oil Control Moisturiser: this is definitely my favourite product in the range. I love how lightweight and fast-absorbing this moisturiser is. It provides the essential hydration and oil control which is exactly what I need in a moisturiser!
- Essano Clear Complexion Detoxifying Serum: This serum absorbs quickly into the skin leaving it feeling smooth with a subtle, natural glow. I also love that the BioDTox and Probiotics are designed to help decongest my skin and clean the pores – naturally!
How do you find the effectiveness of the Essano Clear Complexion range compared to non-natural regimes for problematic skin?
Natural is always the way to go – it simply treats your skin how it should be treated. There’s none of the bad stuff and still works on keeping your skin clean and healthy.
Who would you recommend this range to?
Honestly ANYONE! In particular, younger girls (and guys) that may be prone to oily skin or that dreaded breakout. The products work best when you use the entire range to treat your skin.
