Skincare Recovery For Post-Holiday Skin

Just back from holiday and your skin's looking a bit worse for wear? Don't worry, you're not alone! Sun, sea, and that relaxed holiday skincare routine can leave your complexion feeling pretty rough. Don't worry, your skin bounces back quickly with the right care and you'll have your glow back in no time!

STEP 1: GENTLE RESET WITH PROPER CLEANSING

Your first priority is getting all that holiday build up off your skin without causing further irritation. Heavy sunscreens, chlorine residue and accumulated dead skin cells need to go, but harsh scrubbing will only make things worse. The Calm & Nourish Liquid Cleansing Balm is perfect for this recovery phase because it melts away stubborn residue while actually nourishing your compromised skin barrier. Those 13 essential oils work to calm inflammation while the oil-based formula dissolves sunscreen build up that water-based cleansers might miss. It's gentle enough for sensitive, post-sun skin but effective enough to actually clean.

STEP 2: REPAIR AND REBUILD YOUR BARRIER

Many factors on holiday can lead to a loss of moisture in the skin and a compromised protective barrier, this is why you need ingredients that don’t just hydrate, but also help build back up your skin's natural defences. For your face the The 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Face Serum becomes your recovery essential here. The oat extracts work as a natural antihistamine to calm sun-induced inflammation, while the prebiotic ingredients help restore your skin's microbiome balance. While for the body, the Intensive Rescue Spray provides instant relief while promoting actual repair. The 15 natural essential oils don't just cool and soothe, they actively work to regenerate damaged cells and restore your skin's natural balance.

STEP 3: HYDRATE LIKE YOUR SKIN DEPENDS ON IT

Finding that your regular moisturiser just isn’t cutting it? Sun exposure and environmental stressors have probably left your skin severely dehydrated. You need hydration that actually penetrates deep into your skin and stays put, the Intensive Rescue Range provides your skin with up to 72 hours of locked in moisture that can’t be washed away. This is crucial during recovery because your skin needs consistent hydration to repair itself effectively. The rich blend of omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals provides everything your skin needs to power its self-healing capabilities.

STEP 4: PROTECT WHILE YOU RECOVER

Think that just because your holiday is over you can skip the SPF? Think again! Compromised skin is more vulnerable to further damage, so consistent SPF use is non-negotiable during recovery. The 5 in 1 Anti-Redness Day Cream SPF50 is ideal for recovery mode because it protects while actively treating. The broad-spectrum SPF50 shields your healing skin from further UV damage, while the green microcapsules help conceal any lingering redness or uneven tone. The prebiotic ingredients continue to support your skin's recovery process throughout the day.

STEP 5: BE PATIENT WITH THE PROCESS

Remember to be patient with your skin's recovery. Skin cells take about 28 days to completely renew, so don’t expect overnight results. You should expect gradual improvement over a  few weeks as your skin works through its natural healing process. Make sure to stay consistent and stick with your routine, even when it might feel hopeless. Your skin is working hard behind the scenes to repair damage and rebuild its protective barrier and every day of proper care is an investment in that process.
