Some people simply have it all.
For Chinese-Australian beauty Jessica Gomes, ‘having it all’ includes an almost twenty year modelling career, a hugely successful skincare line Equal Beauty and her own enviably flawless complexion.
As a model turned businesswoman who spends almost as much time in the air travelling as she does on solid ground, Ms Gomes knows an insider tip or two for achieving that (seemingly) effortless glow.
Speaking to Byrdie, the ambassador for David Jones shared the tricks behind her travelling beauty routine.

Keeping it simple
Raised in Perth, Western Australia, Ms Gomes says that her approach to beauty has always been ‘less is more’, whether she is travelling across the world or at home relaxing.
‘I’m always striving for clean, hydrated and glowy skin,’ she told Byrdie.
After thoroughly cleansing her face, the model says she uses a serum which is the key to consistent hydration and elasticity.
An advocate of SPF no matter the weather, Jessica Gomes uses a lightweight tinted moisturiser with sun protection and finishes her base with a facial hydration spray to seal her pores.

The question of travel
After struggling to find products on the market to suit her travel-heavy lifestyle, Jessica Gomes was inspired to launch her own skincare label.
The brand pays homage to Ms Gomes’ simple beauty values, and the offering is wearable for all skin types which was important for the entrepreneur.
The businesswoman uses five products for her on-the-go beauty regimen – and they’re all from her own brand.

In-flight skin routine
Whenever she’s travelling, Ms Gomes says that she religiously applies her five step Equal Beauty in-flight facial.
She starts by cleansing her face with the Equal Beauty Hydra Glow Cleansing Cloth to remove excess dirt, followed by applying a few drops of Equal Beauty’s Super Serum which the model describes as ‘a drink for the skin’.
The face of David Jones then ‘de-puffs her eyes’ using her own brand’s Eye Veil for ten minutes, a concentrate which also reduces the appearance of fine lines.
‘I find they’re really necessary after a long haul flight,’ the model told Byrdie.

To finish her skin-perfecting routine, Ms Gomes reaches for the Moisture Veil from Equal Beauty which hydrates, lifts and firms your face all in one go.
A spritz of Equal Beauty’s Super Mist Spray completes her regimen, a wonder product which ‘enhances the skin’s natural moisturising capability’.
