HYDRAFACIAL: Before or after a vacation?
Vacations are a time to de-stress, explore, and create memories, and when your skin is healthy, that greatly enhances the experience. During travel, fluctuating climate, outside food, outdoor activities, and pollution can take a toll on your skin, causing breakouts, dry patches, or increased sensitivity. To combat this, HydraFacial is the ultimate pre-vacation prep treatment that can work wonders for your skin’s health during travel.
What is HydraFacial?
HydraFacial is a non-invasive, multi-step facial treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection. Using a unique Vortex-Fusion® serum delivery system, HydraFacial effectively addresses a wide range of skin concerns and is suitable for all skin types, whether oily, dry, or sensitive.
Benefits of HydraFacial before vacation:
Skin rejuvenation: HydraFacial provides an instant boost to your skin, leaving it more radiant and refreshed.
Deep cleansing prevents breakouts: Clogged pores can occur from sweat, sebum, sunscreen, makeup, and outdoor pollutants. HydraFacial’s deep cleansing system removes impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oil, ensuring your skin stays clear and fresh.
Intense Hydration: Travelling, especially flying for long hours, and air conditioning can deplete the moisture from your skin. The intense hydration and infusion of antioxidants and nutrients in HydraFacial leave your skin looking healthy, thereby enhancing your natural glow.
Customised Treatment: Whether there is oily skin, acne, redness, or sun damage, the steps of HydraFacial can be customized by your dermatologist to target your specific concerns.
No Downtime: Hence, it is the ideal procedure that can be done 1-3 days before travel, so you can get back to your activities right away without any discomfort.
During Travel:
It is equally important to take certain measures to keep your skin thriving even during travel, despite doing a hydrafacial. With tight luggage space or for ease and practicality, opt for a minimal yet mandatory skin care routine. Opt for a :
- A gentle, hydrating cleanser to effectively cleanse the skin of impurities, yet maintain the skin barrier.
- Sunscreen with SPF 30 and above for the prevention of sun damage.
- A hydrating lip balm, preferably with SPF. External and internal hydration is mandatory.
Pro tip: Additionally, you should incorporate a moisturizer based on the climate you are travelling to (a lightweight gel-based moisturizer for hot climates or a thick moisturizer for a colder climate), and including an antioxidant serum to protect from environmental damage can be ideal.
BENEFITS OF HYDRAFACIAL AFTER VACATION:
Having a hydrafacial is just as important when you arrive back, preferably within a week after returning. Post-travel, skin can feel rough and congested. Hydrafacial will detoxify your skin as well as start to correct any damage done.
In conclusion, Skin requires round the clock care, whether it is before, during, or after travel. Hydrafacial is a simple, yet effective procedure with little to no downtime that can be done once in 3-4 weeks, along with a good skin care routine for optimum skin health.
