🎃✨ Halloween Skin Survival Tips from @VegasGlowDoc ✨🎃 Kendall Egan MD

Updated: 5 days ago

Halloween is all fun and games — until your skin starts to feel the aftereffects. From thick face paint and glitter to late-night candy binges and desert dryness, this season can leave your complexion looking more “scary” than glowing.

At Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology, we believe healthy skin shouldn’t take a holiday. Whether you’re dressing up for a costume party or trick-or-treating with your kids, here’s how to protect your skin and recover your glow the VegasGlowDoc way — no tricks, just results.


🧴 Step 1: Prep Before You Paint

Healthy skin starts with prevention. Before applying costume makeup or face paint:

  • Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser to remove dirt and oil.

  • Apply a hydrating serum or barrier-strengthening moisturizer to protect your skin.

  • Consider a light primer to create a smooth layer between your skin and any pigments.

This step helps prevent dryness, irritation, and clogged pores — especially in our dry Las Vegas climate, where the skin barrier is easily compromised.


💄 Step 2: Choose Smarter Makeup

Not all makeup is skin-friendly. Many inexpensive Halloween products contain synthetic dyes, heavy waxes, or parabens that can irritate or block pores.

Dermatologist-approved tips:

  • Look for non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic products.

  • Avoid products labeled for “costume use only.”

  • Always patch-test on your wrist or jawline before full application.

If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, mineral-based pigments or water-activated paints are safer alternatives.


🧼 Step 3: Remove Costume Makeup Carefully

After the fun, resist the urge to scrub. The goal is to cleanse — not strip.

  • Use a medical-grade or dermatologist-recommended cleanser to gently remove residue.

  • Avoid alcohol-based wipes or makeup removers with harsh surfactants.

  • Follow up with a hydrating toner, soothing serum, or ceramide moisturizer to repair your skin barrier.

Your skin worked hard — let it rest and recover.


💧 Step 4: Rehydrate and Restore

After hours of makeup, mask-wearing, or a late night out, your skin craves moisture.


Boost recovery with skincare products with:

  • Hyaluronic acid to replenish hydration.

  • Ceramides and peptides to support barrier repair.

  • Niacinamide to calm inflammation.

  • Hydrating sheet masks or in-clinic facials for an instant glow-up.

Don’t forget to hydrate and rest!


🍫 Step 5: Balance the Treats

We get it — candy happens. But sugar spikes can increase inflammation and worsen acne.

Try to:

  • Balance sweets with fiber-rich foods and antioxidants like berries or leafy greens.

  • Maintain a consistent skincare routine.

  • Prioritize sleep — your skin renews overnight.

A few days of mindful care can reverse most post-Halloween dullness or irritation.
