You’ve just returned from your summer getaway — the tan is still glowing, but your skin? Not so much. If your face is feeling dry, dull, and just a little “meh” after days in the sun, sea, and maybe a few too many cocktails, you’re not alone.
The combination of sun exposure, salt water, air travel, and dehydration can wreak havoc on your skin’s health. Luckily, there are targeted, professional treatments that can help restore your glow and get your complexion back on track. Here are three of the best post-holiday skin saviours — and why they work:
1. Microneedling: Wake Up Tired Skin from Within
Why it works:
Microneedling is like a workout for your skin. This minimally invasive treatment uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. The result? Increased collagen and elastin production — the proteins that keep skin smooth, firm, and glowing.
Post-holiday benefits:
- Helps repair sun-damaged skin and uneven tone
- Improves texture and fine lines caused by dehydration
- Encourages natural rejuvenation without adding foreign substances
Bonus: It also enhances the absorption of any skincare products you apply afterward — so your serums can actually do their job.
2. Skin Boosters: Deep Hydration from the Inside Out
Why it works:
Skin boosters are injectable moisturisers, often hyaluronic acid-based, designed to deeply hydrate the skin from within. Unlike traditional fillers, they don’t add volume but instead flood the skin with moisture, improving elasticity, smoothness, and that sought-after dewy glow.
Post-holiday benefits:
- Rehydrates skin depleted by sun and travel
- Smooths rough texture and fine lines caused by dryness
- Gives a plumper, fresher appearance without downtime
Popular options: Profhilo, Seventy Hyal, and Jalupro are among the most sought-after.
3. Dermaplaning: Instant Glow and Baby-Soft Skin
Why it works:
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz using a sterile surgical blade. It leaves your skin ultra-smooth, bright, and prepped to absorb products more effectively.
Post-holiday benefits:
- Removes sun-damaged, dry skin cells
- Instantly revives a dull complexion
- Makes makeup application flawless
Post-holiday skin doesn’t have to mean peeling, flaking, or looking tired. With the right treatments, you can nourish, renew, and refresh your complexion, and make your summer glow last that little bit longer.
