Holiday Countdown: The Ultimate Beauty Prep Guide In 8 Steps
With holidays on the horizon, the thought of building a beauty routine to make sure you’re looking your best whilst you’re away can feel quite overwhelming - but have no fear; the experts at UKLASH are here to help.,
Our beauty countdown below will walk you through the ultimate beauty prep guide and how to make sure you’re feeling healthier, bolder and stronger for your next getaway!
Your Holiday Beauty Countdown In 8 Steps:
For Long Lashes All Summer Long…
1. Start using Serums
At UKLASH, we know all about the transformative effects serums can have in helping your lashes, brows and hair grow to be longer, stronger and healthier. However, serums don’t work instantly and need to have time to get to work in nourishing the hair follicles and stimulating growth from the root. Therefore, if you’re looking to show off your super natural hair growth by the end of Summer, we recommend incorporating serums into your hair and beauty routines as soon as possible to ensure maximum results. Just one swipe of our #1 rated Eyelash Serum along the upper lash line once a day can help to see 85% longer lashes in just four weeks! Pair it with our award-winning Eyebrow Serum to boost brow growth too, with 86% thicker-looking brows in just six weeks.
Two Weeks Before…
2. Get A Haircut
Making sure your hair is freshly cut and coloured before taking a vacation can be the best way to feel refreshed and rejuvenated on your holiday. It is also important to book your appointment in advance if you’re looking to have your hair coloured, as any sun exposure prior to leaving for your holiday can affect your colour. By booking in advance, you always have time to return for any touch-ups or adjustments before going away.
3. Perfect Your Haircare RoutineGetting into a regular haircare routine for beach vacations can make a huge difference in the way your hair behaves while you’re on holiday. Our Shampoo and Conditioner are fortified with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and natural fruit extracts, and by implementing a routine using these proactive products around two weeks before, you can help to transform your hair’s length, health and texture. For an extra growth boost, why not incorporate our recently reformulated Hair Growth Serum into your daily routine? It’s packed with active ingredients such as AnaGain™(Pea Sprout Extract), Turmeric and Lemon Fruit Water, which are clinically proven to help accelerate hair growth. Simply apply 1-2 drops to a clean, dry or damp scalp daily to see longer, stronger and healthier-looking hair for your holidays.
It’s important to keep to a consistent skincare routine prior to your holidays to make sure you go away with a clear and rejuvenated complexion. Our Hydra-Gel Eye Patches can be great in the lead-up to a vacation for hydrating the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines using a combination of Ceramides, Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid. For removing makeup and daily build-up, why not try our Lash & Brow Wash, which is fragrance, SLS and sulphate-free, making it safe to use for the most sensitive of skin types.
Two Days Before…
5. Take an Everything Shower
Starting your holiday off feeling smooth and moisturised can be a great way to boost confidence and help you to feel summer-body ready. An ‘Everything Shower’ is a grooming routine that incorporates washing your hair, showering, exfoliating and moisturising and will help you feel prepped and ready for your upcoming holiday!
6. Treat Yourself To A Manicure & Pedicure
The best way to feel refreshed, excited and ready for your holiday is to book in for a relaxing manicure and pedicure appointment a few days before setting off. By keeping your cuticles in check and your toenails trimmed, you’ll be confident in wearing your fresh sandals on the beach or whilst relaxing by the pool.
The Day Before…
7. Apply A Hair Mask
And last, but not least, comes the task of packing all of the travel beauty essentials you might need whilst you’re away. If your journey includes a flight, most airlines require all of your liquid products to remain under 100ml in size, which means making tough decisions on what products to bring and might mean you need to go out and shop for some miniatures. At UKLASH, we recommend packing your favourite Eyelash Serum and Eyebrow Serum to make sure you’re providing nourishment to the hair and continuing your lash and brow growth journeys whilst you’re away. Another must-have product comes in the form of our award-winning Volume Boost Mascara. Its ultra-black pigmented formula will highlight the lash growth that you’ve worked so hard on, creating the ultimate volumised lash look and also offers a water-proof formula that will stay strong if you plan on jumping in the pool or the sea. To keep your brows in check whilst you’re away, another great set to pack is our Brow Trio Set. Incorporating our Brow Gel Sculpt for setting, Brow Pomade for shading and Brow Pencil for defining each hair, the trio ensure your brows look their best whilst you’re away.
Overall, as important it is to make sure your beauty routine keeps you prepped and prepared for your holiday, the most vital point is that you enjoy your time away! It’s important to have a break away from everyday life once in a while, taking time to de-stress and relax. Taking care of your mind and wellbeing is an important part of building confidence and happiness; things that will ultimately boost your super natural beauty and result in a healthier, bolder and stronger you!
