Post-holiday travel skin, meet your match.
After a long holiday weekend full of sunshine, salty air, long car rides, and just a few missed skincare steps (yes, even I forgot my serum), I came back with what I like to call “travel skin.”
Dry patches.Stress breakouts.Puffiness under the eyes.And overall, that “my skin is tired” look.
Whether you were out of town, entertaining at home, or just soaking up the summer heat, chances are your skin is feeling the effects too. At The Skincare Studio, we see it all the time—post-travel flare-ups, dehydration, dullness, and buildup from SPF, sweat, and long days outdoors.
The good news? We’ve got every solution under one roof.
Here’s how I and our patients—bounce back after a long weekend with skin that’s just not cooperating:
Glo2Facial: The Instant Skin Refresh
When your skin looks dull and feels congested, the Glo2Facial is the first thing we recommend.
It’s gentle yet powerful: oxygenating, exfoliating, and infusing your skin with hydration and active ingredients tailored to your needs. No peeling, no downtime—just immediate brightness, balance, and that post-facial glow we all love.
This is the treatment our team does on themselves after long weekends. We call it the “studio reset.”
SkinPen Microneedling: When Texture and Breakouts Flare Up
Travel often brings stress, hormonal shifts, sweat buildup, and breakouts—especially around the jawline and chin. That’s where SkinPen Microneedling comes in.
It’s the only FDA-cleared microneedling device, and we use it to treat everything from acne scarring to stubborn texture and post-travel breakouts. It jumpstarts your skin’s natural healing process and improves tone, texture, and clarity over time.
This is the treatment I personally reach for when my skin needs a full refresh—not just a surface fix.
PRP Undereye: Brighten, Don’t Just Cover Up
If you came back from the weekend looking a little more tired than you’d like, PRP for the under-eyes is one of the best ways to restore brightness naturally.
We use your body’s own growth factors to stimulate collagen and improve pigmentation and thinning in the delicate under-eye area—without filler. You’ll look more awake, rested, and refreshed, even if you’re still catching up on sleep.
Laser Genesis: No Downtime, All Glow
Need something light and effective without peeling or recovery time? Laser Genesis is our go-to treatment for inflammation, redness, uneven texture, and that “blah” feeling in the skin.
It gently heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and improve circulation, helping your skin look smoother and feel calmer—especially after being exposed to sun, travel, or environmental stressors.
RF Microneedling: For Skin That Feels Tired and Loose
If your skin feels like it needs more than just hydration and glow—if it’s losing firmness, bounce, or has deeper texture—RF Microneedling (radiofrequency microneedling) is the gold standard.
It stimulates collagen at a deeper level and tightens the skin while also resurfacing texture. We use the Genius RF system to target jawline laxity, scarring, and fine lines. Most patients see visible improvement after just one or two sessions.
Botox for Excessive Sweating: Stay Cool, Stay Confident
Summer heat doesn’t have to mean underarm sweat marks and outfit changes. Botox for hyperhidrosis is one of the most life-changing treatments we offer.
It takes minutes to do, and it blocks the sweat glands in areas like the underarms, palms, and even feet. Patients stay dry for months and often say it’s one of the best investments they’ve ever made—especially for summer.
Laser Hair Removal: Simplify Your Summer Routine
Shaving on vacation? Razor bumps after the beach? Skip all of it.
Our Clarity II laser hair removal system is safe for all skin tones, virtually painless, and fast. Whether you want to treat your bikini line, underarms, legs, or full body, we customize a plan that keeps you smooth with minimal maintenance.
Botox & Fillers: For a Polished, Rested Look
Sometimes, your skin just needs a little extra boost. Botox softens the lines that deepen when we squint in the sun or skip sleep. And filler restores hydration and structure, especially if your face is feeling flat or tired.
Our aesthetic nurse injectors specialize in subtle, balanced results. We don’t do “frozen”—we do refreshed, rested, and real.
Ready for Your Post-Weekend Reset?
