You know when your holiday has been successful when you come back to envious stares and endless compliments about how great your tan is, how “it really suits you” and “how you look so much healthier with a bit of colour in you!” Our skin certainly can benefit from sunshine as it provides it with Vitamin D which helps boost our immunity, can help relieve depression, maintain calcium balance and helps promote skin healing. Going abroad to a sunnier climate can be a great reward for your skin. 

Unfortunately, our skin can also suffer quite severely from exposure to UV rays, and the damage done causes premature ageing, making our skin look and feel dry, tired and leathery. Sun damage can cause our pores to become more visible, as the pore walls are stretched and permanently enlarged. The skin we’re left with after our summer holidays suddenly doesn’t seem so envious anymore.

Protecting your skin from the sun is paramount in maintaining it’s health and beauty but there is also the after care to consider to ensure your skin can recover quickly and effectively from any stress it was caused whilst away. 

Skin can become patchy where your tan is starting to fade, and flaky from where your skin may be peeling. Even covering up any problem areas with make up can make it look worse and leave you feeling uncomfortable instead of de-stressed and rejuvenated as a holiday should do. 

Lubatti’s Day and Night Face Gel, enriched with Aloe Vera, Damask Rose Water and Evening Primrose Oil moisturises skin leaving it feeling soft and hydrated and will brighten dull, dry and tired looking complexions as well as helping to even out your skin tone. The gel can be used on it’s own or under your normal moisturiser and is suitable for all skin types from dry and sensitive to oily or combination. 

What’s more, Lubatti’s Dreamy Night Cream, which is enriched with Mango and Avocado Oil is a brilliant remedy for dry, post-holiday skin. It will recondition your skin while sleeping so when you wake up your skin feels soft, silky and hydrated and looks smooth and healthy. Avocado Oil and Mango Fruit Juice are naturally high in vitamins and essential nutrients, and both have skin-softening properties. Shea Butter is also packed with vitamins A & E and together, these ingredients provide an intensive night cream that absorbs quickly and easily while allowing the skin to breathe. 

Using both products together will maximise the hydrating and soothing affect they will have in treating your skin of any harm done from too much sun and salt water exposure; ensuring you maintain your post-holiday glow and hide and prevent any post-holiday glare.
