Vacation is good for the soul… but not always great for your skin. Between long travel days, airplane air, extra sun exposure, chlorine, and a few too many late nights, it’s no surprise your skin might feel dull, dry, or stressed after a getaway.
At Live Young Wellness Spa, we’re here to help you bounce back fast with expert treatments and medical-grade skincare designed to reset and restore your summer skin. Here’s your go-to guide for post-vacation skin rehab.
Step 1: Calm & Hydrate
The first step to recovery? Soothe and replenish. Whether you’re dealing with redness, flakiness, or irritation, calming inflammation and restoring hydration is essential.
Recommended Treatments:
- OxyGlow (Hydrate Pod) – Infuses skin with moisture while gently exfoliating and boosting oxygen from within.
At-Home Boost:
- VitalDerm MD Manuka Honey Cleanser gently cleanses and melts makeup away, purifying and hydrating while preserving the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
- Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer delivers deep hydration while supporting the skin’s barrier and enhancing skin renewal.
Step 2: Detox & Rebalance
Sweat, sunscreen buildup, and clogged pores are common issues that often occur after travel. To rebalance your complexion and prevent breakouts, opt for gentle exfoliation and deep cleansing.
Recommended Treatments:
- Hydrating Facial – A perfect post-travel choice to deeply cleanse clogged pores and exfoliate the skin.
- Dermaplaning Add-On – Removes dead skin and peach fuzz for smoother, radiant skin.
At-Home Boost:
- ZO Exfoliating Polish to refine texture and minimize clogged pores.
- Zo Exfoliation Accelerator is a gentle way to refine texture and improve flaky skin.
Step 3: Reverse Sun Damage
Even with sunscreen, extended sun exposure can trigger pigmentation, dullness, and early signs of aging. This is where our Sciton laser treatments shine.
Recommended Treatments:
- Broadband Light (BBL) – A powerful light-based treatment that targets sun damage, redness, and pigmentation to restore a clearer, brighter, and more youthful complexion.
- Moxi – A non-ablative laser that treats uneven tone, melasma, and sunspots with minimal downtime.
These laser treatments are safe to receive during the summertime, but our skincare experts recommend that you follow the suggested 5-7 day period of downtime and continue using SPF and avoiding the sun post-treatment!
Step 4: Upgrade Your Skincare Routine
Your skin may need a seasonal switch. In the summer months, opt for lighter layers, antioxidant protection, and healing ingredients that repair from the inside out.
Post-Vacation Essentials:
- VitalDerm MD Deep Cleansing Gel- A gentle, all-natural gel cleanser that targets inflammation and oil, helping calm acne-prone skin on the face or body, without stripping essential moisture.
- Alastin HA Immerse Serum – Delivers instant hydration while supporting your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid production.
- Alastin A-Luminate Brightening Serum – Brightens, balances, and helps reduce the appearance of discoloration for a more even-toned complexion.
- Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen – Provides broad-spectrum protection with a sheer, tinted finish that hydrates and evens skin tone.
