The holiday season is full of parties, get-togethers and outings. And despite your best efforts, chances are you’ll indulge in more drinks, sweets, and delicious foods than you wanted. Not only does this indulgence impact your waistline, it also can affect your skin. The good news is that by following a few simple skin care tips you can keep your face glowing.
Watch What You Eat
What you eat and drink play a big role in how your skin looks. Watch out for salty, sweets, dairy, and meats. Avoiding or minimizing these foods and replacing them with yummy fruits and veggies like apples, bananas, grapes, avocados and dark leafy greens can help your skin stay beautiful all holiday long.
Stay Hydrated
Dry skin causes breakouts, pores, and even fine lines to emerge from your skin. Even individuals who are typically hydrated can suffer from short-term dehydration during the holiday season. Part of this is due to the choices we make in our nutrition. Again, make sure you stay healthy by focusing on what you’re putting in your body. Your nutrition starts with hydration. Figure out how much water you should drink based on your body weight and then stick with it.
Amp up Your Skincare Routine
Although we are blessed with typically warm winters, the dryness creates a harsher environment for your skin. Be sure to invest in deep cleansers to scrub away dead skin cells. Once your skin is free of dead cells, use a deeply nourishing moisturizer, like Lexxel by Vivier Skin that seals in the hydration to prevent issues with breakouts. Dermplaning and Hydrafacials are also a great way to keep your skin looking its best.
With a bit of effort on your part, you can stay beautiful all holiday season long. Hydration, proper nutrition, and enhanced skincare can keep your skin as sparkling and bright as the holiday lights.
