How to Look After Your Skin When You Get Back From Holiday

Transcript

Most people damage their skin the minute they get back from holiday. We're all guilty of it, we get home, we go straight back into our old habits, our old skincare routine, using incredible ingredients, acids, retinols, all of the good stuff. However, it's not the time to jump straight back in.

We must remember we've just been away, we've exposed our skin to the UV rays, chlorine, salty water, air conditioning, all sorts have happened to our skin that we're not so much aware of. So we've got to be careful because we've got to pull it back, even if the skin is not visibly irritated, we have just impacted our skin barrier. So we've got to think about rebuilding that.

Starting with going right back to the basics, just gentle cleansers, think about some reparative moisturizers, repairing and helping to build up that skin barrier again, and getting yourself back in again for a good facial, a good cleanse, seeing one of our lovely therapists just to really reset the skin and not going too hardcore too soon. It's going to end up with long-term damage to our skin.
