Whether you’re headed somewhere sunny for a beach break or escaping to the mountains for a ski vacation, prepping your skin before you travel is one of the best ways to look and feel refreshed from the moment you arrive.
We sat down with EvolvMD’s esthetician, Stephanie, to talk about her favorite treatments and skincare tips to get your skin glowing and vacation-ready.
Stephanie: What is Your Favorite Treatment to Do Before a Vacation?
I love the Hydrafacial, the Mermaid Facial (also known as the Salmon DNA or PDRN facial), and Toskani Mesoneedling. These treatments exfoliate, hydrate, and restore the skin’s natural glow after months of cold, dry weather.
They’re safe for all skin types, have no downtime, and won’t make your skin more sensitive to the sun—so they’re perfect for anyone traveling to warm or cold destinations.
What Do Love about the Hydrafacial?
If you want instantly smooth, hydrated skin, a Hydrafacial is your best friend. It gently cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses your skin withantioxidants and moisture — all in one quick, relaxing treatment. You’ll walk out with skin that feels baby-soft and completely refreshed.
Why the Hydrafacial is a Pre-Trip Favorite
• Deeply cleanses and exfoliates
• Unclogs pores and removes debris
• Boosts moisture and restores glow
• Helps minimize signs of aging and hyperpigmentation
• Improves elasticity and firmness
• Painless and no downtime
Travel can be tough on your skin — airplane air, climate changes, late nights — but starting your trip with a Hydrafacial helps keep your skin balanced and glowing from day one..
Tell US about the Mermaid Facial: Does it Really Have Salmon Sperm In It?
It’s true — and it always gets people’s attention, , but don’t worry — it’s not as strange as it sounds! The Mermaid Facial, sometimes called the Salmon DNA Facial or PDRN Facial, uses polynucleotides that are derived from purified salmon DNA (not actual “salmon sperm,” we promise!). These natural ingredients help your skin repair itself, calm irritation, and bring back that healthy, hydrated glow.
Think of it as a deep reset for your skin. The treatment helps restore moisture, smooth texture, and strengthen the skin barrier, so your complexion looks fresh and dewy — even after long flights or changing climates.
p.s. Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Denise Richards, and Jennifer Aniston are just a few of the Hollywood stars that love it as much as do.
Why Is It a Pre-Trip Favorite?
It offers so many incredible benefits:
• Deep hydration that lasts
• Smoother texture and brighter tone
• Calms redness and irritation
• Safe for all skin types
• No peeling or downtime — just a soft, natural glow
If you want that “just got back from vacation” look before you even leave — this facial is
Tell Us about Mesoneedling — Is This a Newer Treatment?
It’s definitely one of the newer treatments we’re loving at EvolvMD, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite! Mesoneedling takes traditional microneedling to the next level by combining it with a customized blend of vitamins, peptides, and hydrating serums that are infused directly into your skin during the treatment.
It uses ultra- fine needles to create tiny microchannels so those nourishing ingredients are delivered deep into the skin giving you all the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling plus intense hydration and glow.
It’s great for anyone who wants to smooth texture, refine pores, or add radiance before a trip. The treatment also helps stimulate hair follicles, supporting healthier skin and scalp renewal.
Why We Love Mesoneedling:
Mesoneedling with Toskani Boostes allows us to completely customize the treatment based on your skin’s needs. If you are in need of deep hydration, are working to improve acne, and scarring, or you really just want to look a little younger before a big trip, this is the treatment to do,
It has so many incredible benefits:
- Smooths texture and refines pores
- Plumps and firms tired skin
- Improves hydration and glow
- It can enhance the effects of Botox and fillers
- If you’re not ready for fillers or Botox, this is a great way to prolong the use of them
- Safe for all skin tones
- Little to no downtime — easy to fit in before you travel
This treatment gives you that “lit-from-within” look that lasts long after your trip ends. Mesoneedling is one of those treatments that just makes your skin feel stronger, plumper, and more alive. It’s gentle, effective, and delivers that dewy, post-facial glow that lasts long after your vacation.
Stephanie’s Pre-Vacation Skin Tips
If you’re getting ready to travel, here are a few simple ways to keep your skin happy while you’re away:
- Hydrate inside and out — drink plenty of water and use a hydrating serum daily.
- Keep your routine simple — stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
- Pack SPF — sun or snow, you’ll still need protection.
- Avoid over-exfoliating before you go — let your pre-trip treatment do the work!
