Beauty Tips For Your Next Holiday

As we continue to face the long wintery days ahead of us, it has many of us looking forward to 2023 and what it has to bring. In order to battle the dreary January and February months, there’s no better thing to do than book a nice sunny holiday to look forward to. Whether this is in the next few weeks or further into the year, it is a great idea to have something you can put in your calendar and countdown to, knowing you’ll soon be soaking up the sun’s rays. If you have a holiday booked, there are some beauty tips you’ll want to follow. We have put together some of our top advice that will ensure you get the most from your trip.

Get a pre-holiday haircut

When heading to the sun, you want your tresses to look their best. Yet you may wonder just when is the best time to get it cut. Ideally, we recommend booking in for a haircut two weeks before. This means you have enough time to get it cut before you go without it growing out, but it also has time to turn a bit more natural-looking before you go. Be sure to book well in advance to ensure you get a slot you want – particularly during weekends or the school holidays!

Sort your nails as close to the time as you can 

Unlike hair, nails grow super quickly and as such you want to get them sorted as close to the time as you can. This gives nail polish less time to chip or grow out and gels less time to peel or grow too long. We recommend getting your nails done one or two days before you go and, as with your haircut, booking well in advance. Think about the activities you’ll be doing and the outfits you’ll be wearing to choose the best colour and types of nails. If you’re doing lots of water sports for example, acrylic nails might not be the best choice, whereas if you’re just planning on sunbathing they can be a great way to add some glam!

Change your skincare routine to adapt to the sun

If your skin isn’t used to the sun or if you haven’t been on holiday in a while, you’re going to need to prep it to avoid getting burnt or having other skin issues. Be sure to focus on after sun care as well as using a good sun cream to protect it and keep it nourished for the duration of your trip.

These are just a few top beauty tips for your next holiday that can ensure you look your best. It’s important to take care of your skin in the sun and sort things such as hair and nails in good time prior to going away. This will ensure longevity and make sure you feel your best from start to end. What are some of your favourite beauty tips for going away? Let us know in the comments below!
