Is Your Skin Holiday-Ready? Why Dr. Madaan Recommends a Glow-Down, Not a Glow-Up

The Skin & Self Clinic – Summer Edition

As summer approaches, it’s tempting to squeeze in last-minute treatments in search of a pre-holiday glow-up. But at The Skin & Self Clinic, Dr. Madaan encourages a different approach – one that puts skin health first.

“Skin is more vulnerable after active treatments,” she explains. “Peels, lasers and microneedling can make it more sensitive to sun exposure, increasing the risk of pigmentation, irritation and long-term damage. The short-term glow just isn’t worth it.”

Instead of rushing into treatments before your trip, Dr. Madaan recommends booking a pre-holiday AI skin assessment. This advanced scan looks beyond what you see in the mirror to reveal what’s really going on beneath the surface, helping us create a personalised treatment plan for when you return.

Clients are also welcome to visit the clinic for help getting their sun protection regime right- something that’s often more important than any treatment, especially if you’ll be spending long days in the sun or travelling with a baby. We offer medical-grade SPF suitable for the whole family, including safe and effective options for babies from 6 months.

This skincare also helps strengthen and prepare your skin for any treatments planned after your holiday, giving you the best chance of long-term, healthy results.

So this summer, skip the quick fixes. Protect your skin, enjoy your break, and come back ready to start your journey with calm, clear direction- and a plan built just for you.
