The right skin care on vacation – you should definitely pay attention to this
UV rays, chlorine or salt water, heat, changing climate,... Unfortunately, the vacation is nowhere near as relaxing for your skin as it is for you. She is exposed to a lot of stress during a trip and can suffer greatly as a result. So that you come back with relaxed skin and a beautiful summer tan, you should treat yourself to an extra portion of care. You can find out how it works and what you should pay attention to here.
The right skin care on vacation provides a lot of moisture
The skin can dry out particularly easily on vacation. Sun and wind, salt water and chlorine, heat and sweat remove moisture from the skin. This can easily lead to irritation, feelings of tension, rough spots or a disturbed protective barrier.
You should therefore provide your skin with a lot of moisture while on holiday. Use creams, serums and lotions with a lot of moisturizing ingredients! However, make sure that these do not clog the pores, otherwise you will quickly develop heat pimples!
Our Cutanova Cream Aqua Protect, for example, is ideal for moisturizing on vacation. It protects the skin from harmful environmental influences and gives it plenty of healthy moisture. We also recommend the appropriate eye cream for the sensitive eye area. By the way: Both products are also available in small sizes, perfect for your holiday luggage.

The be-all and end-all for beautiful summer skin: sun protection
UV radiation is a major risk factor for a wide variety of skin problems. It can cause sunburn and trigger a sun allergy, increase the risk of skin cancer and also have a strong influence on skin aging. That's why you should definitely protect your skin from the sun, especially if you're vacationing in a sunny area.
Therefore, usea good sunscreen with a high sun protection factor on your body and face! Even if you already have slightly tanned skin, this is still important because brown skin can also be damaged by the sun.
By the way, you can also get tan with sunscreen. It takes a little longer, but the tan lasts longer.
By the way: If you swim in the sea, you should make sure you use sunscreen that doesn't harm marine life. Corals in particular can react sensitively. In the Cutanova Face Spa holiday set you will also finda coral-friendly sun cream with sun protection factor 50.
Gentle cleansing for your skin in summer
Cleansing your skin is particularly important on vacation. After all, it comes into contact with many different stimuli. That's why a good cleaning routine is crucial while on vacation. Use a mild cleansing product morning and evening and then wash it off with lukewarm water!
You can also do something good for your skin with regular peelings. Gentle peelings free the skin of dead skin cells and cleanse it deep into the pores. Please note, however, that a chemical peel can make the skin even more sensitive to UV rays! So you should pay particular attention to your sun protection.
Caring for skin on vacation: Prevent further irritation
Stress caused by the weather and your holiday activities may take a toll on your skin. Therefore, be careful not to expose them to further irritation! These tips will help you:
- Very cold or hot showers dry out the skin even further. Showering with lukewarm water is gentler on the skin.
- Use an after-sun product to soothe the skin! It is usually used in the evening.
- Drink enough to hydrate the skin from the inside out!
- Make sure you touch your face with your hands as rarely as possible to avoid spreading bacteria there!
- After swimming in the sea or in the pool, you should shower as soon as possible and then moisturize your skin well.
With these tips, you won't come back from vacation with stressed and dry skin, but with relaxed, smooth skin and a gentle tan. Try it!
