✈️ The Pre-Trip Skin Edit in Aspen: What to Do Before You Travel (and How to Maintain Your Glow)

Written By katie landers

Travel is exciting—but for your skin, it can be a stress test, especially when you’re starting in Aspen.

High altitude, dry mountain air, and increased sun exposure already put extra demands on your skin. Add in flights and changing climates, and even the healthiest skin can quickly become dehydrated, dull, or irritated.

The secret to maintaining that effortless, vacation-ready glow? It starts before you even leave Aspen.

✨ Why Pre-Trip Treatments Matter (Especially in Aspen)

Living in Aspen means your skin is constantly exposed to:

  • Dry, high-altitude air

  • Strong UV exposure year-round

  • Temperature fluctuations

Pre-travel treatments help:

  • Deeply hydrate and repair your skin barrier

  • Smooth texture and refine pores

  • Reduce inflammation and congestion

  • Give you that radiant, no-makeup glow before you go

💆‍♀️ The Best Treatments to Get Before You Travel

West End Signature Facial

Your go-to for a full reset. This customized facial deeply cleanses, hydrates, and nourishes your skin—perfect before leaving Aspen’s dry climate.

Clear + Brilliant

A client favorite for refined, glowing skin. It improves tone and texture with little to no downtime—ideal right before travel.

Fraxel FTX

For more advanced correction, Fraxel targets sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture. Aspen sun can be intense—this is a great option to reverse and refresh your skin (just plan a little ahead for healing).

Lymphatic Drainage / Endermologie

Perfect for reducing puffiness and boosting circulation—especially helpful before long flights or after time at altitude.

Laser Hair Removal

Skip shaving and enjoy smooth, low-maintenance skin throughout your trip and into summer.
