A vacation is like food for the soul. Not only does it break the monotony of life and creates beautiful memories, but it can also take you away from the daily stress of your life.

After all, being on your toes all the time, having a chock-a block-schedule, and living in metropolitan cities can really tire you out. In this case, spending a few days away from the hustle-bustle by the calming beach or in the pleasant mountains can really rejuvenate your soul like magic.

But just like all good things come to an end, holidays do too. And once you're back, adjusting to your daily routine again becomes difficult as hell. By the end of your vacation, your heart starts sinking and the post-vacation blues start kicking, making you doleful and grumpy.

I can understand this feeling quite well since I have just come back from a trip to Uzbekistan. Yes, I still miss strolling through the lush gardens and the beautiful monuments of the peaceful city of Tashkent. However, something quite surprising helped me beat my post-vacay depression.

Unveiling The Secret
Despite all the sight-seeing in the sun and binge eating during the trip, I noticed that my skin was glowing brighter than a 100-watt bulb. That's definitely an exaggeration, but you get the point, right?

Back home, I would invest heavily in regular facials at the salon and a zillion skincare products, but just a week of letting loose did what those expensive treatments never could.

Was It The Change of Environment?
Leaving the very polluted Delhi to live in a clean and green city really helped. Breathing in fresh air minus the smoke, dirt, and dust has its perks for sure. Not to mention, gorging on fresh Uzbeki fruits instead of Delhi's injected and chemical-laden ones worked in my favour too.

But I Still Feel That The Reason Was Something Else
I am a firm believer of the fact that you are what you eat, and you are what you feel. So if you're happy inside, you're bound to look pretty. I'm not kidding ladies. In fact, science backs my claim too.

A UK study conducted by a travel website Expedia revealed that taking holidays can improve the texture of your skin. And I couldn't agree more. After all, you're way happier and less stressed on a vacation. So, there's less skin-ruining cortisol (stress hormone) produced in the body. And well, that happiness simply reflects on your face and makes you glow.

I can vouch for it because I've experienced it myself. So, don't worry about the sun tan or acne due to fried food on your trip. Just go out there and enjoy. The post-vacation glow will follow automatically, I guarantee.
