The Importance of Skin Hydration: Post-Holiday Skincare Tips & Treatments
We all love that post-holiday glow, but let’s be honest, long plane journeys, hours in the sun, and changes in routine can leave your skin feeling dehydrated, dull, and in need of a little extra care. At Sutha Aesthetics, we believe that healthy, hydrated skin is the foundation for radiance and with the right approach, you can protect and restore your complexion all year round.
Protect First: Your Daily Holiday Essentials
The best way to maintain healthy, hydrated skin is through prevention. Whether you’re at home in the UK or abroad in the sunshine, your skincare routine should always include:
- Daily SPF – Sun protection is non-negotiable. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage your skin, accelerate ageing, and cause pigmentation.
- A Clear Skincare Routine – Using medical-grade products such as AlumierMD ensures your skin gets the right balance of hydration, antioxidants, and repair. Consistency is key: cleanse, protect, and hydrate every morning and evening.
- Hydration from Within – Drinking enough water helps keep your skin plump and radiant, especially when travelling or spending time in the sun
.
After the Holiday: Restore & Hydrate
Returning from holiday, you may notice your skin feels tight, dry, or irritated. Air travel in particular can dehydrate the skin, while sun exposure can increase sensitivity. That’s where a little post-holiday recovery comes in:
💫 HydraFacial – Our go-to treatment for restoring hydration, removing build-up, and replenishing the skin with nourishing serums. HydraFacial works immediately to leave your skin fresh, glowing, and deeply hydrated, the perfect reset after a long flight or sun-soaked break.
💫 AlumierMD Professional Peels - These gentle peels exfoliate away dull, sun-damaged skin and restore brightness. They also boost hydration while targeting pigmentation and post-holiday congestion.
💫 Skin Boosters (Profhilo & Seventy Hyal) - Injectable hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates from within, improving plumpness and elasticity. Perfect for skin that feels dry, crepey, or tired after sun exposure.
💫 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy - Using your own plasma, PRP stimulates collagen and natural repair. It refreshes sun-stressed skin, leaving it healthy, hydrated, and glowing.
Everyday Habits for Radiant Skin
Beautiful skin doesn’t just come from treatments; it’s a lifestyle. Here are some simple, free tips to keep your glow going long after your holiday ends:
- Stay Hydrated – Aim for 6–8 glasses of water a day. Herbal teas and water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon also count.
- Eat a Balanced Diet – Antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, leafy greens, and nuts help protect and repair your skin from within.
- Prioritise Rest – Sleep is when your skin repairs itself. Aim for 7–9 hours to wake up refreshed and glowing.
- Avoid Excess Alcohol – Alcohol is dehydrating, so balance it with plenty of water and nutrient-rich meals.
Your Skin, Your Glow
Healthy, hydrated skin is the best souvenir you can bring back from your holiday. With a little prevention, the right home care, and professional treatments, your complexion will stay radiant long after the sun has set.
