It's no wonder that most of us shuffle off the aeroplane after a long flight looking puffy and lifeless when there's less than 20 per cent humidity in the cabin. That's less than some deserts, meaning that if you're on a long-haul flight for more than six hours, your skin…

Some people just naturally have it all, don't they? Radiant and beautiful in real life and just as photogenic as their enviable genes deserve. Then there are those who, bizarrely, are stunning in real life but, for whatever reason, just don't photograph well at all. There must be some deep…
