Good decongestant and face moisturiser please for a long flight

We are flying to Australia tonight, I have a really bad cold and a patch of really dry skin on my face, probably because I have been so low. So off to the chemist today, any recommendations for a good decongestant and face moisturizer.

For long flights I tend to use Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. It smells a bit chemically, but it does the job!

I can recommend 8 hour cream as well but some people do not like the smell. As for the decongestant Olbas Oil is good but the main thing with such a long flight and a cold may be the inside of your nose drying out. I've had this in the past and it was really painful. I resorted to putting some lip salve just inside my nostrals and drinking plenty of water for the whole flight.

Hope the flight goes okay!

I use vaseline on my nostrils and lips during a long flight
