Thanksgiving Glow: How to Prep Your Skin for Holiday Gatherings

November 5, 2025

As the warmth of Thanksgiving approaches, so do the family gatherings, holiday photos, and festive celebrations that fill Austin with joy. At Grace MedSpa & Body Solutions, we understand that everyone wants to look—and feel—their best when making memories. This November, treat yourself to the gift of radiant skin. Here’s how to prep your complexion ahead of Thanksgiving, using expert-backed, medically advanced treatments available right here in Austin, TX.


Why Pre-Holiday Skin Prep Matters


With cooler weather, lower humidity, and indoor heating, your skin might already be feeling the fall and early winter effects. Add rich holiday foods and late nights, and the glow you want for gatherings can quickly be diminished by dryness, dullness, or breakouts.


Starting your skin prep early ensures you walk into every Thanksgiving event looking vibrant. From family portraits on South Congress to “Friendsgiving” in Westlake, glowing skin helps you step confidently into every occasion.


Austin’s Top Med Spa Solutions for Thanksgiving Radiance


Grace MedSpa offers a range of science-driven, non-invasive treatments tailored for busy women in Austin. These options can address unique seasonal skin concerns, with little to no downtime—perfect for your pre-holiday schedule.


1. Illuminate with IPL Photofacial Forever Young BBL


Wondering how to get rid of sun spots before the holidays? Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, such as our Forever Young BBL, targets pigmentation left behind by Austin summers. This advanced treatment:


- Reduces brown spots, age spots, and redness

- Stimulates collagen for improved firmness

- Promotes a brighter, more even skin tone


Sessions are gentle and require little recovery, making them an easy choice to fit into your November calendar before Thanksgiving events.


2. Smooth & Refresh with Medical-Grade Peels


If your skin is feeling rough or lackluster, a BioRevitalization Peel or the revolutionary PRX-T33 is an excellent way to renew your complexion. These treatments offer:


- Exfoliation without harsh downtime

- Immediate visible radiance

- Help with discoloration, fine lines, and uneven texture


Medical peels are ideal for prepping your face for holiday makeup, ensuring your foundation glides on smoothly and your photos capture your best side.


3. Prevent Seasonal Breakouts with Forever Clear BBL


Fall can trigger acne flare-ups due to stress and changing routines. At our med spa in Austin, Forever Clear BBL harnesses the power of light to:


- Calm inflammation

- Eliminate acne-causing bacteria

- Speed up healing for clear, photo-ready skin


Quick treatments with minimal redness mean you can tackle unexpected spots without missing out on festivities.


At-Home Tips to Maintain Your Holiday Glow


In addition to in-office treatments, daily home care matters. Here’s how to enhance your med spa results throughout the season:


- Switch to a richer, medical-grade moisturizer to combat dry air

- Use a gentle exfoliant (recommended by your provider) weekly

- Apply SPF even on cloudy Central Texas days

- Stay hydrated—fall air in Austin can be surprisingly dehydrating


Don’t forget: shopping locally for medical-grade skincare keeps your shelf stocked with the best options, and our team is always ready to provide personalized recommendations.


When Should You Start Prepping Your Skin for Thanksgiving?


One trending question on everyone's mind is how far in advance you should begin your skin treatments for the holidays. Ideally, start your med spa treatments two to four weeks before Thanksgiving for maximum results. This timeline allows your skin to heal, collagen to rebuild, and any post-care redness to fade, revealing your most beautiful complexion just in time for celebrations.


Glow Into the Holidays with Confidence


Thanksgiving in Austin is about connection, laughter, and gratitude—and when you look in the mirror and love your skin, you can fully savor every moment. Grace MedSpa & Body Solutions is passionate about helping Austin women boost their confidence and well-being from the inside out.
