What's your pre-holiday beauty prep?

[ThePinkPonyClub]

I am going on holiday next week and I'm keen to look and feel my best! Does anyone have any beauty must does before they go away?

I'm thinking:

Hair: Appointment tomorrow, going to get a good cut and probably some highlights.

Body: Wax a few days before (I do this myself) - legs, bikini and underarms. Use a body Scrub in the shower the week before and moisturising after. Light fake tan a day or two before.

Feet: I've done a footner mask and the peeling is just started! Once that's done I will be scrubbing and moisturising my feet and will do my toenails the day before.

Hands: Moisturising & will do nails the day before.

Face: Dermaplane the peach fuzz, be strict with skincare regime, st tropez facial tanning mist every other day, will get Eyebrows threaded at some point before I go.

Anything else??

I think your holidays are very different to mine, but if you are going somewhere sunny where you will get a lot of sunlight and/or be in and out of water a lot, I wouldn't get highlights before you go.

Lash tint, means you don’t have to wear mascara

I always go for a spray tan before holiday as I don’t like sunbathing, prefer to sit in the shade. I always have a pedicure too.

I’m the same - honestly, if you are at a pool
or beach, a spray tan is amazing, so much better than doing it yourself.

And a lash lift!

I get my nails done and a pedi. I don’t bother having a particular hair style just for a holiday but if I’m due a hair cut I’ll get that done before hand. I’ll get my legs waxed and shave my pits. And as others have said a spray tan!

I think you’ve covered a lot there already - I would usually get a good cut and colour refresh, eyebrow lamination, exfoliate body skin a good month before twice a week, use a footner, get gel toes, depilate bikini line with Immac (less irritation than waxing for me), step up skin exfoliation and vit C/retinol usage, go low carb a good 2 months before and do weighted squats/lunges and arms routine 5 days/week.

I usually feel fabulous before I go and then come back a shell of my former self from overindulging at the AI buffet and cocktails!

Ooh and forgot to say fake tan - the most important of all as I am milk bottle white!

Sitting having a pedicure just now before going away Tuesday evening. I don’t bother with anything with my hair as I like to swim. Will try and drink enough water over the next few days so skin is nice

Um I might get a pedicure. That’s about it. I don’t alter what I normally do (which is pretty minimal).

Gel polish on finger nails, pedicure with normal nail polish, bikini wax (very high Brazilian) and eyebrow wax. Plus a few sun bed sessions (I know I should not do this)

Hair cut and colour, gel toes, LVl lashes and spray tan! I know, but I’m blue without one and I don’t tan… I come back whiter than when I go… 🤣

Oh yeah… and good for scrub etc to get rid of hard skin.. and if I can’t be bothered.. I’ll get a predicure! Oh and.. Botox.. ummm bit high maintenance aren’t I!! 🤣

I will be honest I used to be very judgmental of spray tans and thought they were hideous 😂. Until I was sick of looking like a ghost in the summer…. Now I could never imagine going abroad without one

Don’t you just feel better with one? I can’t drop off wear nice bright colours without looking ill 🤣🤣

I buy myself a couple of nice showergels for evening as I don;t wear perfume . Rituals Sakura and the matching foam moisturiser

Wax by pits and epilate my legs -

No nail polish

Hair cut and then I dye it myself

I don;t use a bodyscrub but I've got one of those long scrubbie things like an elongated KoeanItaly cloth , eaier to do my back .

I can’t type today! *I can get away with wearing nice…..

Yes exactly! I feel more confident with it too. Instead of feeling like a vampire avoiding sunlight

Home manicure and pedicure. Several weeks of foot cream and buffing off dry skin.

Tidy brows and shave everything necessary. Attention to detail and moisture everything repeatedly.

Gel polish on hands and toes next week, hair cut today (I don’t colour), waxing next week and then Majorca a week today. I scrub and use a moisturiser anyway. Eyebrow tint and lash tint doesn’t last more than a couple of days unfortunately so I don’t bother. Thankfully, with the weather we have had, I have a bit of colour so no need to fake tan before we go.

I know what you mean about being able to wear brighter colours when you’ve got a bit of a tan, plus shorts, strappy tops and dresses. I only need to be a few shades darker, and a whole range of wardrobe options open up, whereas my current skin tone is “mortuary” a dreadful pale grey …..

Yeah.. mines black or navy! 🤣

I do this stuff year round but time it for holiday:

pedicure (home)
Hollywood wax (salon)
body scrub (home)
fake tan (home)
haircut (salon)
manicure (home)
eyebrow threading (salon)
eyelash extensions (salon)

Have to exfoliate legs or I get prickly heat after using sun cream. Missed my knees and suffered in Spain the other week 😖

I don’t have a great beauty routine at the best of times but hair removal, body scrub and moisturising and doing something about my feet are a must!
