Preparing Your Skin for a Radiant Spring Break

Expert tips from BIÂN Beauty to achieve that perfect glow before vacation.

As the excitement of spring break approaches, many of us are eager to achieve that perfect glow before our vacation. At BIÂN Beauty, our team of experienced beauty experts, including Samantha Gatewood, Izabela Horoszko, Harmony Armstrong, Anna Sanchez, and Kelly Wallace, are here to guide you through the ideal skincare regimen to prepare your skin for a rejuvenating and radiant spring break getaway.

Samantha Gatewood's Recommendations

Board-certified Full Practice Nurse Practitioner Samantha Gatewood recommends a strategic approach to skincare preparation. She suggests scheduling a series of chemical peels followed by a Hydrafacial two weeks later. Additionally, incorporating Epicutis face and neck masks is essential for comprehensive skincare preparation. Samantha emphasizes the use of medical-grade skincare products to ensure optimal results.

Izabela Horoszko's Skincare Timeline

BIÂN Aesthetician Izabela Horoszko provides a detailed skincare timeline to help you prepare for your vacation. Beginning 6 weeks before your trip, she recommends scheduling a chemical peel to address specific skin concerns such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. As the vacation approaches, incorporating products containing hyaluronic acid and vitamin C is vital. One month before your vacation, booking a Hydrafacial treatment and incorporating LED light therapy sessions are essential steps. Finally, one week before your vacation, consider a dermaplaning treatment combined with a luxury hydrating facial (Epicutis), while maintaining a hydrating skincare routine and prioritizing SPF usage.

Harmony Armstrong's Approach to Skincare Preparation

BIÂN Aesthetician Harmony Armstrong's recommendations include scheduling a series of chemical peels or laser treatments at least 3 weeks before any vacation that will expose you to more sunlight. Hydrafacials are recommended a week or two before a vacation, allowing for deep cleansing and exfoliation to enhance the skin's receptiveness to moisturizers. A hydrating facial is also recommended for the week of travel to counteract the low humidity in aircraft cabins, ensuring well-moisturized skin during and after your vacation.

Anna Sanchez's Proactive Skincare Plan

BIÂN Aesthetician Anna Sanchez advocates for an initial skin consultation 6 weeks before your vacation, followed by targeted treatments such as the Alumier Radiant 30 Peel and appropriate skincare to begin the preparation process. At the 4-week mark, she recommends the Alumier Power Peel or Glow Peel, accompanied by a B12 shot and/or IV drip. As the vacation approaches, Anna suggests a mild resurfacing peel and, finally, a Hydrafacial with Dermaplaning a week before your trip. The day before traveling, consider the Epicutis Winter Hydrate and Renewal Facial for a calm, hydrated, and renewed complexion.

Kelly Wallace's Skincare Journey

BIÂN Aesthetician Kelly Wallace advises checking in with BIÂN Beauty's Full Practice Nurse Practitioner Samantha Gatewood 6 weeks before your vacation to even out skin tone and address redness and dark spots with a BBL treatment. Four weeks before your trip, consult with BIÂN's aestheticians for a customized chemical peel tailored to your skin's needs. Two weeks before your vacation, a Hydrafacial combined with a dermaplaning treatment is recommended to restore your skin's natural glow. Just days before your trip, a combination of dermaplaning and a deeply hydrating and healing epicutis winter facial can provide the perfect finishing touch for your skin. Kelly also highlights the importance of protecting your skin with a water-resistant sunscreen.
