Get That Holiday Glow With These Skincare Tips

The holiday season brings parties, family gatherings, and plenty of photos opportunities, and let’s face it – you’ll want to look your best. Fortunately, with the right skincare routine and a little help from the pros, you can achieve that healthy, radiant glow throughout the season.

Stay Hydrated

Cold air and indoor heating can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it dry and dull. One of the simplest ways to keep your skin glowing is by keeping it hydrated. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to nourish your skin from the inside out. In addition, many people find that switching to a richer moisturizer during the colder months can better lock in hydration and protect your skin’s barrier. If you need help choosing one, just let us know – we’ve got a variety of high quality options.

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating is essential to remove dead skin cells and reveal the fresh, glowing skin underneath. While the winter months can cause skin to become more sensitive, exfoliating with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) once or twice a week can help slough off that dead skin without irritation. This will not only improve your skin’s appearance, it will also enhance the effectiveness of your other skincare products which can get into the skin more easily.

Don’t Forget Sunscreen

Although the sun’s rays may seem less intense during the winter, UV rays can still damage your skin, leading to premature aging and sun spots. Make sure to apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even when it’s cloudy or cold. Sunscreen is an essential part of your skincare routine year-round, so don’t skip it!

Get A Little Professional Help

If you want to give your skin an extra boost before a big holiday event, consider treating yourself to a facial or chemical peel. Facials provide deep cleansing, hydration, and relaxation, leaving your skin looking refreshed and glowing. For a more intense treatment, a chemical peel can exfoliate the skin at a deeper level, improving texture and reducing fine lines or pigmentation. These professional treatments can help you get your skin ready for any occasion and leave you with a rejuvenated, radiant complexion.

The holiday season can be hectic, but with these skincare tips, you’ll be ready to glow no matter what the festivities throw your way. For more beauty secrets, schedule a consultation with us today!
