How to Recreate the Holiday Glow — Without Leaving Your Bathroom

Mirror steamed up? Write “humidity” in the condensation and you’re already halfway there...

Ever wonder why your skin looks and feels amazing when you're on holiday in a warm, tropical destination? That effortless glow, the plumper feel, and that extra softness — it’s not just the break from routine or the golden hour selfies. It’s the humidity.

When the air around you is rich in moisture, it helps your skin stay hydrated. The moisture in the air doesn’t just sit there — it gently transfers to your skin, softening the outer layers and helping to improve skin elasticity and texture. That’s why your skin feels more dewy, less dry, and all-around healthier in those warm, humid environments.

But back home, especially in cooler or drier climates, that glow can disappear quickly — replaced by tightness, dryness, and dullness. So the question becomes: how do you bring that tropical glow home with you?

Here's how to recreate that holiday humidity at home:

1. Use your shower like a mini spa

That steamed-up mirror after your shower? That’s humidity in action. Don’t rush out. Instead, do your skincare in the bathroom while it’s still steamy — your pores are open, your skin is more receptive, and everything absorbs better.

2. Layer hydration properly

Apply a hydrating serum or essence straight after your shower — while your skin is still slightly damp. Follow with a moisturiser or facial oil to lock in all that goodness. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or sea buckthorn — all hydration heroes.

3. Add a humidifier to your bedroom or workspace

Especially in winter, indoor heating zaps moisture from the air. A small humidifier can make a big difference in how your skin behaves — and it’s a game-changer overnight.

4. Hydrate from the inside out

Up your water intake, and include more water-rich fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges in your daily diet. Glowy skin starts from within.

5. Choose skincare that mimics the effects of humidity

Our Ultimate Repair Serum and Overnight Repair are formulated to deeply hydrate and replenish — mimicking that post-holiday skin feeling. With naturally hydrating ingredients and lightweight textures, they help restore balance and bounce.

So the next time your mirror fogs up, take a moment. Breathe it in. You don’t need a passport stamp to feel like your best, glowiest self — just a little warm air, smart skincare, and a few minutes of self-care.
