Sand, sleep deprivation and sunburned peeling skin made the trip home too. Despite the three bottles of sunscreen that I lathered on my skin over the week, I STILL started peeling. And there is nothing that says "I over did it", more than flakey skin. The best way to deal with this skin is to get two things asap.
First, you need a great body scrub to slough off your dead skin. Try one that smells delicious so that while you're exfoliating you feel like you're in a spa, I suggest this one from Bath and Body Works, Sugared Blood Orange ($22). If you're really looking to spa yourself back into reality after a week at the beach, try this box set by fresh- Sugar Lover Set ($69) it contains a body scrub, perfume and a lip treatment. Finally, if you broke the bank this spring break you can always make your own scrub with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup oatmeal.
Secondly, to zap you're skin back to that sun kissed glow you will need a fabulous moisturizer. Stick to the milk, Kate Somervile's Goat Milk Cream ($55) or Archipelago's Oat Milk Hydrating Lotion ($23.99), it smells absolutely divine and both will leave your skin super silky and smooth.
After these two post-beach moves, light yourself a relaxing candle like this one from Tocca Beauty (prices vary by size) and bask in your glowing skin!
