Revitalising My Skin After a Cruise: My Journey to Radiance

Writer's picture: Indulge BeautyIndulge Beauty

I’ve just returned from a two-week cruise, and while it was packed with indulgence and relaxation, it took a bit of a toll on my skin. My usual skincare routine became more basic while I was away. During the day, I relied on Aspect’s Tinted Physical SPF50+ for sun protection, and in the evening, I used Aspect Extreme C 20 to counter sun exposure and environmental damage from saltwater and wind.


The delicious food, cocktails, and laid-back atmosphere were amazing, but all that indulgence showed on my skin. Daily exposure to sun, wind, chlorinated pools, and salty air didn’t help either. When I arrived home, I knew my skin needed some serious TLC.





Post-Cruise Skin Challenges


Here’s what I noticed as soon as I got back:


  • Congestion: My pores felt clogged, probably from the rich food and less physical activity.

  • Dullness: My skin had lost its glow—likely from sun exposure and a few too many cocktails.

  • Flakiness & Itchiness: The skin on my forehead was dry and a bit itchy, most likely from chlorine and sun exposure.

  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Dehydration had made my fine lines more visible, especially around my eyes.


Before my holiday, my routine kept everything in check—pigmentation, mild rosacea, and fine lines. But two weeks of sun and indulgence were a reminder that my skin needed extra care to get back on track.



The Ultimate Solution


To give my skin the boost it needed, I booked an Ultimate Radiance Facial at Indulge Beauty. This facial is designed to restore hydration and glow—perfect after a holiday.


Here’s how it went:

  • Exfoliation: The facial started with a Fruit Enzyme Mask, followed by a Lactobionic Peel to gently smooth my skin’s texture.

  • Probiotic Mask: Next, an Aspect Probiotic Mask soothed my freshly exfoliated skin with antioxidants and probiotics to balance and calm it.

  • LED Light Therapy: We finished with 10 minutes of LED light therapy to stimulate collagen production and reduce any lingering redness or inflammation.


I left the salon feeling refreshed and glowing, but I knew the real work was just beginning at home.


Post-Facial Routine Adjustments


Post-Facial Care:


To maintain the benefits of the facial, I made a few tweaks to my skincare routine:

  • Aspect Extreme B 17: I added this morning and night to support hydration and cell repair.

  • Retinol Break: I gave my skin a week off from retinol to let it recover, before slowly reintroducing it.





My Daily Skincare Routine


Here’s what I’m using to keep my skin looking its best:


Morning Routine

  • Pigment Punch+: A serum to reduce pigmentation and even out my skin tone.

  • Photostat 9 Moisturiser: This provides intense hydration while protecting my skin barrier.

  • SPF50 Tinted Physical Sunscreen: Broad-spectrum protection with a light tint to even out my complexion.


Evening Routine

  • Gentle Clean Cleanser: A soothing cleanser that removes makeup and impurities without irritating my skin.

  • Retinol Brulee: A Vitamin A serum to target fine lines and promote cell turnover.

  • Photostat 9 Moisturiser: This hydrates my skin overnight, helping it repair while I sleep.



The Results


Within a few days of following this routine, I started to see real improvements:

  • Dullness gave way to a healthy, radiant glow.

  • Flakiness and itchiness disappeared, leaving my skin smooth and comfortable.

  • Fine lines and wrinkles became less noticeable thanks to increased hydration and collagen support.



Conclusion
