Best Beauty Treatments Before a Vacation
Getting ready for your next vacation? While some much-needed time off can be a huge relief, some find it stressful to get ready for time away from home. Who wants to be worried about their skin or body care while drinking a margarita?
At Kiss My Lash Beauty Lounge, it’s our mission to boost your confidence, especially while you’re taking some you time. Keep reading to check out our team’s recommendations on the best way to get ready for a vacation, from when to book your services to how you can make your treatments last!
Best Vacation Beauty Treatments for a Getaway
When planning to spend time away, it’s important to gauge what your priorities are based on your skincare and haircare. Most individuals frequently use waxing or threading services before a vacation; full body waxing can minimize regrowth while softening future hair growth, and eyebrow threading uses quick, fluid motions to make your brows look precise and selfie-ready.
Speaking of selfies, be sure to book a SunnaSmile teeth whitening appointment to ensure you’re smiling bright for your entire trip! Removing any stains while remineralizing teeth, natural ingredients will fight bacteria and gingivitis while removing plaque.
Looking to minimize makeup and acne breakouts? A HydraFacial® will get your glow back well before your vacation begins, infusing your skin with boosting serums to fight your skin’s specific concerns while removing dirt and oil deep within your skin. Dermaplaning removes facial hair and dead skin, softening your face while allowing for better absorption- making it a perfect service before your airbrush tan!
While booking your hair removal services, be sure to book your favorite lash service to minimize your packing (and time spent on makeup) while on your trip! New to lash services? Try a lash tint and lift with a brow lamination and kiss goodbye mascara and brow gel! Want to boost your glam? Try a hybrid full set of lash extensions for a fluffy lash look, or a volume full set to replace strip lashes!
Don’t rely on the suns' harmful UV rays for your bronzed, vacation-ready skin. Our professional airbrush tanning services ensure your tan looks natural and healthy, preventing streaks typically created by at-home tanning and spray tans!
PRO TIP: Book a Hydrojelly mask for the week you return from your trip- your dehydrated skin will thank you!

How To Make Your Beauty Treatments Last
Getting your beauty treatments before a vacation is a major confidence-booster, making maintenance throughout your trip a major key to keeping your treatment’s effects as long as possible! Here are a few tips from Kiss My Lash stylists on how to maintain your treatments throughout your getaway:
For Your Face:
Be sure to use a strong SPF and reapply often. Sun damage and digestives (like alcohol) can dehydrate your skin, causing premature wrinkles and age spots. That’s why drinking clear fluids (read: water, not vodka) and moisturizing is key, especially after a long time in the sun or water exposure! Especially if wearing makeup, cleanse your face before sleeping to reduce the likelihood of breakouts.
For Your Body:
Moisturizer and SPF are important for your body, too! Airbrush tanning requires limited exfoliation and lots of hydration to maintain your tan. Limit the amount of restrictive, body-rubbing clothing you pack and opt for sandals over socks, especially for your first few days (when your tan is strongest).
For Your Smile:
Opt for teeth whitening toothpaste and straws if you’re a big fan of coffee or a fruity drink (or five). Brush your teeth more frequently to prevent stains throughout the day!
For Your Lashes:
Cleanse your lashes with bubble wash and a mermaid wand to remove any dirt or grease from your eventful day. For a fresh, fluffy look, use your mermaid wand and a blow dryer set to light and cool to maintain their natural curl!
