The 2-Week Rule: How to Prep for a Tropical Getaway Like a Pro
You booked the trip. You made the playlist. You’ve even mentally packed that linen dress you wore once but swore was meant for Europe. Now let’s talk about your skin. Because spoiler alert: booking your laser hair removal session the day before your Siargao flight? Absolutely no bueno. ❌
Welcome to the 2-Week Rule—aka the Wink Babe’s Countdown to Fuss-Free Skin. ✔️
✨ What is the 2-Week Rule?
It’s simple: Schedule your laser hair removal session at least 2 weeks before hitting the beach, pool, or anywhere that involves sun.
Not 3 days. Not the night before. Two. Full. Weeks.
It’s not just a cute guideline—it’s science and skin safety.
🛑 Why Does It Matter?
We love a spontaneous getaway. But your skin? She likes a little heads up.
Sun exposure before or after your session = a big no-no.
Getting laser hair removal too close to UV time can lead to:
Increased skin sensitivity
Redness or irritation
Higher risk of hyperpigmentation (especially under strong UV exposure)
Discomfort during your vacay
So if you're dreaming of a week in Cebu, Bali, or Siquijor, give your skin that 14-day buffer to rest, recover, and be chill post laser so you can hit the beach, not the regret button.
📆 Quick Timeline: Your Laser-To-Vacay Countdown
T-minus 2 weeks: Get Winked.
T-minus 10 days: Exfoliate gently, moisturize the area like it’s your job, skip the sun.
T-minus 7 days: Resist last-minute tanning.
T-minus 1 day: Pack. Sunscreen. Linen outfits. And that smooth, ready-for-anything energy.
