The Importance of Skin Hydration: Post-Holiday Skincare Tips & Treatments

Sutha Aesthetics • 28 August 2025

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.

PRP Hair Treatment in Hertfordshire & Norfolk

by Sutha Aesthetics • 3 February 2026

We all know that hair thinning often develops gradually rather than suddenly. For many people in Hertfordshire and Norfolk, the first signs are subtle: reduced density, a widening part, or hair that no longer feels as full. By the time PRP hair restoration enters the picture, most have already encountered a mix of advice, ranging from cosmetic solutions to surgical options. PRP or Platelet-rich Plasma is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment that is typically considered when hair follicles are still present but functioning less effectively. It aims to support scalp health and follicular activity using the body’s own biological processes. As with any medical aesthetic treatment, its role is nuanced, and outcomes can vary. This blog outlines how PRP hair treatment in Hertfordshire is used in clinical practice, who it may be suitable for, and how it fits alongside other hair restoration approaches. The focus is on clear, evidence-informed guidance to help readers consider PRP within a medically led, personalised care pathway. What is PRP hair treatment, and what concerns does it address? At its core, PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma hair treatment is a procedure that uses components of your own blood to support scalp and follicle health. Instead of synthetic substances or surgical transplantation, PRP uses platelets, which play a role in healing and cellular signalling, and concentrates them for reintroduction into specific areas of the scalp. It’s important to be clear about what PRP is designed to address. This treatment is most often explored by individuals experiencing: • Gradual hair thinning rather than complete hair loss • Early to moderate pattern hair loss • Diffuse shedding linked to stress, hormonal changes or ageing • Reduced hair quality or density following medical or lifestyle shifts PRP is not positioned as a universal answer to all forms of hair loss. Instead, it is typically considered when follicles are still present but functioning less effectively than they once did. In such cases, PRP may help create a more supportive environment for hair growth by encouraging healthier follicle activity.
