Your Holiday Skincare Survival Guide

The holidays are all about celebrating and making memories, but the hustle and bustle can sometimes take a toll on your skin. To truly get the most out of your pigmentation removal treatments, a bit of extra care and planning can make all the difference. Think of this guide as your step-by-step strategy to keep your skin glowing, hydrated, and photo-ready all season long.

Stick to Your Skincare Routine

Consistency isn’t just key—it’s your skin’s best friend. Following a regular routine can amplify the results of your pigmentation removal treatments and keep your skin looking its best.

Gentle Cleanser: Start and end your day by cleansing your skin to remove impurities, makeup, and sunscreen. A gentle cleanser ensures your skin stays fresh without stripping it of natural oils.

Brightening Serum: Incorporate a serum with active ingredients like vitamin C to brighten skin and fade pigmentation. Niacinamide is another powerhouse ingredient in our Brightening Serum that evens out skin tone and strengthens the skin barrier.

Lightweight Moisturiser: Hydration is essential, even during summer. Use a non-comedogenic moisturiser that locks in moisture without clogging pores, helping your skin stay smooth and dewy.

Eye Cream: Don’t forget the delicate under-eye area. A nourishing eye cream can help reduce puffiness and dark circles for a refreshed look.

Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen

The Australian summer sun can be brutal, and sun exposure is the leading cause of pigmentation. Protecting your skin daily is essential to prevent new pigmentation from forming and to maintain the results of your treatments.

Broad-Spectrum SPF: Use a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. A minimum SPF of 30 is recommended.

Daily Application: Apply sunscreen every morning, even if you’re spending the day indoors. UV rays can penetrate windows and still cause damage.

Reapplication is Key: If you’re out and about, reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Add a Hat and Sunglasses: For extra protection, pair your sunscreen with a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses when outside.

Hydrate Inside and Out

Hydration is the foundation of healthy, glowing skin. By keeping your skin moisturised and your body hydrated, you can enhance your holiday glow and maintain a radiant complexion.

Water Intake: Aim to drink at least 2 litres of water daily to flush toxins and keep your skin plump. 
Hydrating Skincare: Add a serum with hyaluronic acid to your routine. It attracts and locks in moisture, giving your skin an instant boost of hydration.
Antioxidant-Rich Diet: Include foods like berries, citrus fruits, spinach, and nuts in your meals. These are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that fight free radicals and support skin health.
Skip the Alcohol (or Moderate It): Too many cocktails can dehydrate your skin and leave it looking dull. If you’re celebrating, alternate alcoholic drinks with water to stay balanced.
