5 Steps to Healthy Holiday Skin

Holiday skin should be healthy and radiant, not red and irritated! But here's the reality – between pool chlorine, pore-clogging sunscreens, and sunburn from staying out too long, your skin can end up becoming inflamed and irritated. The good news? Proper holiday prep can help save your skin from suffering. 

 STEP 1: PREP YOUR SKIN FOR CHLORINE 

That cooling pool water might look inviting, but can chlorine strip your skin and disrupt your natural protective barrier. It can trigger inflammation, especially if you're prone to sensitivity, leaving you red and irritated instead of relaxed. Here's your pre-pool ritual: apply the 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Face Serum before you dive in. Those prebiotic ingredients create a protective barrier that helps shield your skin from chemical damage. The oat extracts work as a natural antihistamine, preventing that post-pool irritation that can ruin your holiday glow.

For your body, the Intensive Rescue Spray is your poolside essential. A quick spritz before swimming creates a protective film and another after helps rebalance your skin's microbiome. This helps to get rid of that dry feeling after a refreshing swim. 

STEP 2: CHOOSE SPF THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Sun cream is your daily routine non-negotiable, but some SPFs are pore-clogging nightmares that leave you with breakouts instead of protection. Heavy, greasy formulas mixed with sweat and humidity create the perfect storm for clogged pores and breakouts.

The 5 in 1 Anti-Redness Day Cream SPF50 is designed to work with your skin, not against it. Those green microcapsules give you broad-spectrum protection while bursting to release colour-correcting pigments that even out your skin tone. No white cast, no greasy residue, just coverage that looks natural. Plus, it's packed with prebiotic ingredients that actually support your skin's health rather than suffocating it. Your pores will thank you when you're not dealing with post-holiday breakouts!

STEP 3: SUNBURN RECOVERY THAT WORKS 

Let's face it – sunburn happens to the best of us. Maybe you fell asleep on the beach, or you forgot to reapply sun cream after getting out of the pool. The solution? Skip the basic aloe vera gels and reach for a bottle of Intensive Rescue Spray. This isn't just cooling relief, it's active skin repair in a bottle! 15 natural essential oils and extracts work to break the itch-scratch cycle while promoting actual healing and regeneration. The spray format means no painful rubbing on already tender skin.

For your face, the 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Face Serum becomes your post-burn solution. The hops extract neutralises that burning sensation by activating bitter taste receptors on your skin, while the ashwagandha protects against further damage and boosts collagen production for faster recovery.

STEP 4: KEEP YOUR SKIN HYDRATED 

Sun exposure doesn't just create damage on the surface,  your skin becomes damaged on the inside! Causing that tight uncomfortable feeling you get after a long day sat out. This is the biggest sign your skin is in desperate need of serious hydration, not just a quick application of moisturiser. The Intensive Rescue Face Lotion delivers 72 hours of moisture that literally cannot be washed away, thanks to the Pentavitin inside. It penetrates deeply to provide long-lasting hydration that actually addresses sun-induced dryness.

Remember to not forget your body! Layer the Intensive Rescue Spray for instant relief with the Intensive Rescue Moisturiser to bring some hydration to those extra-dry areas, like elbows and knees. This combination detoxifies pollutants while delivering intense nourishment that repairs and restores damaged skin.

STEP 5: MAINTAIN YOUR BARRIER WHILE YOU HAVE FUN

Holiday skin faces a triple threat – sun, chlorine and a few cheeky cocktails. So your skin's natural protective barrier is working overtime and it needs backup to stay strong. This is where the prebiotic power in these products becomes your holiday advantage. Every formula is packed with ingredients that feed your skin's good bacteria, helping it maintain balance even when you're putting it through holiday stress. The chicory root extract and other prebiotic ingredients work to keep your microbiome healthy, which means fewer breakouts, less sensitivity and better overall skin health.

Your skin is your consistent travel companion so don’t forget to treat it with the care it deserves. Here’s to returning home with that post-holiday glow, because healthy skin is the best souvenir you could bring back.
