Now that you’ve toiled over where to go booked your flights, and chosen your accommodation, the holiday excitement is probably starting to kick in. Don’t just sit around and wait; fill your time with beauty prep, allowing you to get the perfect holiday skin.
Exfoliate
Like any other time, exfoliation is the first step in your holiday pampering sesh. Start with dry body brushing that will buffer your skin and remove the appearance of cellulite before using a body scrub in the bath or shower to help remove dead skin cells.
Get Rid of Cellulite
If you have severe cellulite on your body, especially around the stomach area, dry body brushing may not be helpful. However, there are many effective treatments for reducing cellulite on stomach, such as massage, laser therapy, or radio frequency. These treatments can help you fight unwanted cellulite and achieve a smoother, more toned appearance.
Add More Moisturiser
If you’re going somewhere warm, you’ll encounter two main culprits of dehydrated skin: sunlight and humidity. Regular moisturising before your holiday will give you a head start on achieving that coveted holiday glow, especially if you drink enough water too. A good moisturiser can also help to prolong your natural tan, so make sure you apply aftersun when you’ve been soaking up the rays.
Defuzz
Removing any unwanted hair before you jet off may be one of the most taxing parts of your beauty prep, but if you don’t want to shave every few days while you’re away, opt for waxing or epilating beforehand. These methods may take a little longer but are much more beneficial, giving you around four weeks of smoothness. Remember, you’ll need to wait for any redness to go down (especially if you have sensitive skin), so don’t leave it until the very last minute.
Pamper Your Feet
Summer holidays call for bare feet and sandals, but if your heels are still recovering from the winter, you’ll want to give them some TLC. Try an intensive foot sock treatment, or if you don’t have time, an electronic foot file should remove all of the dead skin so that your feet are ready for moisturiser.
Build Up Your Tan
No one wants to hit the beach with milk bottle legs. Gradually build your tan a few weeks before you go with a natural fake tan. Of course, it’s vital to remember that you can still tan through a fake tan, so it’s still necessary to apply SPF lotion to stay protected from the sun.
Top Up Your Vitamins
Glowing skin isn’t all about what you do on the outside; you can glow from the inside out by watching what you eat in the lead-up to your holiday. Ditch the Friday night takeouts, weekend drinks, and fatty snacks in favour of smoothies packed with plenty of fruit and veg. Trust us; it’ll be worth it when you can go for the no makeup, makeup trend while you’re away. Plus, you can always indulge a little while you’re there.
