As you pack your bags and prepare for an unforgettable holiday, don’t forget to prioritise your skin’s health and beauty! Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical paradise or embarking on a cultural adventure. Taking care of your skin is essential for looking and feeling your best throughout your holiday. At MySkincare, we’re here to help you achieve holiday-ready skin with our expert holiday skincare prep tips.
1. Start with a Clean Slate
Before you embark on your holiday adventure, start with a clean slate by thoroughly cleansing your skin. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities, leaving your skin fresh and revitalised. Clean skin allows your skincare products to penetrate more effectively, ensuring maximum benefits for your complexion.
2. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Traveling can be dehydrating for your skin. So be sure to keep it hydrated throughout your journey! Pack travel-sized versions of your favourite hydrating serums, moisturisers, and facial mists to keep your skin nourished and supple. Look for products containing hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera to replenish moisture and combat dryness.
We have a wide range of moisturisers available to suit all skin types. Take a look now.
3. Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Whether you’re lounging on the beach or exploring a new city, sun protection is essential for keeping your skin safe and healthy. Pack a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and apply it generously to all exposed areas of your skin, including your face, neck, and hands. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating! This will ensure continuous protection against harmful UV rays.

4. Opt for Lightweight Formulations
When packing your skincare products for vacation, opt for lightweight formulations that won’t weigh you down or feel greasy on your skin. Look for oil-free or gel-based moisturisers and serums. These will provide hydration without clogging pores or feeling heavy. Lightweight skincare products are perfect for warm weather destinations and will keep your skin feeling fresh and comfortable throughout your holiday.
5. Pack Multi-Tasking Products
Save space in your suitcase and streamline your skincare routine! You can do this by packing multi-tasking products that offer multiple benefits in one. Look for skincare products that combine sunscreen with moisturiser, primer with SPF, or serum with antioxidants to simplify your skincare routine while on vacation. Multi-tasking products are perfect for busy travellers who want to look and feel their best with minimal effort.
6. Treat Yourself to a Pre-Holiday Facial
Kick-start your holiday skincare prep with a pre-vacation Hydrafacial at the MySkincare Dublin Skin Clinic to ensure your skin is glowing and radiant for your vacation photos.

7. Stay Consistent with Your Skincare Routine
While on holiday, it’s essential to stay consistent with your skincare routine to maintain healthy, glowing skin. Set aside time each day to cleanse, moisturise, and protect your skin, even when you’re busy exploring new destinations or relaxing by the pool. Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining beautiful skin throughout your holiday.
