Spring break is right around the corner, and whether you're heading to the beach, the mountains, or just planning a staycation, a little beauty and skincare care can go a long way. From hydration and sun protection to spray tans and lash enhancements, pre-trip beauty prep before you go means less hassle and more glow once you're there.


Here's how to get vacation-ready from head to toe so you can spend less time worrying about beauty upkeep and more time enjoying your trip.


Pre-Trip Beauty Prep: Get Your Glow & Lashes On

Get a custom spray tan – Want that bronzed, sun-kissed glow without the risk of sun damage? A spray tan gives you an even, streak-free tan so you can step off the plane glowing from day one—no UV exposure required.

Special offer:

  • 3 tans for $135 (save 10%, regular price $150)

  • Punch card: Buy 7, get the 8th free!

Lash lift and tint or extensions—Skip the mascara and wake up with effortless, perfect lashes daily. A lash lift and tint enhance your natural lashes for a low-maintenance, high-impact look that lasts through beach days, pool dips, and sweaty adventures. Do you prefer extra drama? Lash extensions give you that bold, vacation-ready look without the hassle.

Exfoliate & hydrate—A gentle exfoliation a few days before your trip removes dead skin cells and helps your spray tan absorb evenly. Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin soft and your long-lasting glow intact.

Get your brows on point—Get vacation-ready with perfectly shaped brows! My professional brow design and henna brows enhance your natural shape, giving you a polished, effortless look that lasts. Whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a bold definition, a pre-trip brow service ensures your brows stay flawless throughout your vacation. Book your appointment today!


SPF Must-Haves & Sun-Safe Skincare

Protecting your skin from UV damage is non-negotiable when you're on vacation. Sunburn and dehydration can ruin even the best trips, so pack these essentials:

A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen – SPF is a must whether you're hitting the slopes or lounging poolside. Choose a lightweight, non-greasy formula for daily wear.

SPF lip balm – Your lips are prone to sun damage, too. Protect them with a balm that has at least SPF 15-30.

A hydrating mist – Travel dries out your skin, especially if you're flying. A facial mist with aloe, rose water, or hyaluronic acid keeps your skin refreshed and dewy.

A lightweight moisturizer—If you're traveling somewhere warm, stick to a gel-based or oil-free moisturizer to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

Post-sun aloe or after-sun lotion – If you get too much sun, aloe vera or a calming after-sun lotion can help soothe redness and inflammation.


Post-Vacation Recovery: Repair & Rehydrate

Returning from vacation often means dealing with dry skin, breakouts, or sun exposure damage. Here's how to reset your skin when you get home:


Deep hydration is key – Long flights, sun exposure, and salt water can dehydrate the skin. Replenish moisture at home with a hyaluronic acid serum and a soothing face mask.

Refresh your lashes and brows—If you had lash extensions, a lift, a tint, or a brow wax before your trip, a quick touch-up ensures you keep that effortless look going.

Exfoliate gently – If your skin feels rough or dull, a gentle enzyme exfoliant helps slough off dead skin without irritation.

Nourish your skin barrier – If you overdid it in the sun, focus on barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and squalane to restore hydration.

Stay hydrated – Drinking plenty of water and eating hydrating foods (like cucumbers and watermelon) helps your skin recover from travel stress.


Final Thoughts: Prep, Protect & Relax

A little pre-trip prep makes all the difference in how fresh and confident you feel on vacation. From spray tans and lash lifts to SPF essentials and post-trip recovery, taking care of your skin and beauty routine before, during, and after your getaway ensures you glow from takeoff to touchdown.
