What's your pre-holiday beauty prep?

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??

When are you going next week? I did one of those foot peel things 2 weeks ago and the peeling had only just stopped. I’d do some buffing and loads of moisturising to try and make sure all the dead skin is gone for when you set off.

Other than that, I always used to do
wax
gel manicure/pedicure
eyelash lift/tint

However I have developed an allergy to polish so would just do usual skin routine and lots of water to try and make skin look as good as possible.

I’m going in just over a week. I’m getting balayage topped up on Tuesday then nails and a spray tan done the day before we go. My sons girlfriend does my eyebrows for me (shape and tint) so she’s kindly going to do that two days before we go.

I paint both sets of nails and that's it
