If you’re jetting off to a luxurious holiday destination this year, you’ll want to feel your best – no matter what the occasion. Palm trees, stunning beaches and beautiful sunshine create the perfect backdrop for some glamorous photos, so here’s how to look radiant at all times.

Take care of your skin

Before setting foot on a plane, it’s essential to take care of your skin. Exfoliate on a regular basis and book a course of IPL laser to improve acne, rosacea, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles. A flawless complexion will help you look great in a bikini and should definitely boost your confidence. Note that you’ll need to stay out of the sun for a while after some non-surgical procedures, so always keep this in mind. While you’re on holiday, don’t forget to use sun cream and always keep your skin hydrated with a decent moisturiser.

Go au natural

There are many ways to look glamorous on holiday, but heavy makeup will do you no favours. Foundation, blusher, mascara and lippie can melt in hot weather, so go au natural. Give your skin a chance to breath and let your natural beauty shine through. If you really can’t bear the thought of leaving your cosmetics at home, use a tinted moisturiser with an SPF of at least 15. This will help you achieve a soft, smooth complexion without pasting on the slap – perfect!

Eat well

If you’re going away this year, why not make the most of the local cuisine? Eat fresh salads, sample the local seafood or try grilled chicken by the sea. Many countries specialise in healthy dishes that will tingle your taste buds, so don’t miss out. A well-balanced diet, full of nutrients will keep you in top shape and should help you to look (and feel) fabulous throughout your trip. If you’re a fussy eater try to push the boundaries and challenge yourself to eat new and interesting products – it’ll be worth it in the long run.

Wear well-fitting clothes

Dress to impress at all times and look spectacular while you’re away. Choose clothes that flatter your figure and make the most of your shape. If you’re an hourglass, show off your tiny waist and if you’re a pear, flaunt your slender torso. Apples look great in A-line skirts and athletic women suit feminine patterns and loose materials – so get shopping. Many people have liposuction at a reputable clinic to look good, but a decent sense of style can change your looks dramatically.
