Post-Summer Vacation Skin Care: 3 Essential Steps to Restore Your Skin

Have you all been on your summer vacation?

After returning from a summer vacation, many people say things like this:

"My skin has become so rough and dry."

"My face has gotten so much darker."

"I feel like my skin has lost some of its firmness."

In fact, repeated exposure to strong UV rays, high temperatures, sweat, seawater, or pool water during a vacation can cause several changes to the skin at the same time.

The most common changes include:

✔ Skin becoming sensitive and dry

✔ Skin becoming dull as melanin increases

✔ Reduced firmness due to damage to the collagen in the skin

That is why post-vacation skin care should involve more than simply brightening the skin. It is important to care for the skin in the following order:

‘Soothing → Pigmentation → Firmness’

1. First, soothe your skin.

Your skin is more exhausted after a vacation than you may realize.

Strong sunlight and heat take moisture away from the skin and make it more sensitive, which can easily lead to dryness, redness, or a tight feeling.

Rather than exfoliating or undergoing an intensive treatment first, the priority should be to soothe the skin sufficiently and replenish its moisture.

At Yeongdeungpo Dermatology, Doctor O Clinic,

we use LDM barrier care and Astrodom Facial to soothe the skin and replenish moisture from within, helping restore the condition of skin tired from vacation.

2. Tanning is not a sign of healthier skin; it is a defense response by the skin.

The reason your skin becomes darker after a vacation is not that it has become healthier.

It is the result of producing more melanin pigment to protect the skin from strong UV rays.

Some of the darkening may naturally fade over time at first, but if the right time for care is missed, blemishes or melasma may remain more pronounced.

Therefore, after checking the condition of your skin, beginning vitamin care and pigmentation laser treatment at the appropriate time can help restore your skin tone and prevent melasma from remaining.

3. You should also restore ‘firmness,’ which may not be immediately visible.

Many people focus only on their skin tone after a vacation, but UV rays also affect the collagen within the skin.

UV rays and the high temperatures of intense sunlight break down collagen in the skin.

As collagen decreases and its absorption increases, the skin may appear saggy and lose firmness.

That is why, after a vacation, it is beneficial not only to soothe the skin and manage pigmentation, but also to receive care that helps restore collagen within the skin.

Combining a skin booster or lifting laser treatment as appropriate may help restore the skin’s overall condition in a healthier way.

Post-vacation skin requires a ‘three-step care’ approach.

Post-vacation skin is a time when several changes occur at once, rather than just one issue appearing.

✔ Skin soothing

✔ Pigmentation care

✔ Collagen restoration

Managing all three together can help return the skin to a healthier condition.

If your skin does not feel the same after returning from vacation, do not leave it unattended.

At Yeongdeungpo Dermatology, Doctor O Clinic, we carefully examine your skin condition and help restore skin tired from vacation through customized programs suited to each individual’s skin condition.
