Holiday Timing: What to Book & When

If you want your skin to really show up for the holidays (photos, parties, family gatherings, the whole thing), the secret isn’t scrambling the week before… it’s timing. I get asked all the time: “When should I book what?” — so here’s the simple version.

4–6 Weeks Before: The Deep Work

If you’re thinking about peels, microneedling, or anything corrective—this is the window.

These treatments create real change beneath the surface, but they need time to settle, repair, and reveal results. Doing them now means by the time the holidays hit, your skin is glowing, smooth, and noticeably healthier—not freshly pink or reactive.

2–3 Weeks Before: Hydration + Glass Skin

This is the perfect time for HydraFacials™, Glo2 Facials, or enzyme-based treatments.

These are the “I want to look like I drink 80 ounces of water and sleep 9 hours a night” treatments.

No downtime. Just hydrated, bouncy, glossy skin that makes makeup glide (or makes going bare feel effortless).

1–2 Weeks Before: The Final Polish

This is when brows and lashes happen.
A brow clean-up, tint, lamination, or lash lift/tint makes everything feel more put together without trying.

If you want that smooth, refined finish for makeup to sit perfectly, dermaplaning can also live in this window.

Final Thoughts

Holiday skin isn’t about perfection — it’s about feeling confident, radiant, and taken care of. A little planning goes a long way.

If you’re unsure what your skin needs or where to start, just ask. I’m here for the strategy part.
