Skincare Tips for the Holiday Season and Beyond

Skincare Tips for the Holiday Season and Beyond

The holiday season is finally here! So many people look forward to this magical time of the year, a season to enjoy time with family, drink hot chocolate by an open fire, and take a few much-needed days off of work. Even with all of that good stuff to look forward to, the winter and holiday stress can be hard on your skin if you aren’t careful and fighting the good skincare fight. Here are a few skincare tips for the holiday season and the rest of winter.  

Fight Against Winter’s Chill 

Winter’s cold, dry air can upset our skin. It can strip away moisture, leaving us with flaky and sometimes cracked dry skin. This is a big no-no if you want to look your best for all of the company parties and winter family get-togethers, plus, it doesn’t feel great. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be this way if you keep your skincare routine in check and use products that provide some much-needed moisture.

As always, make sure to stay hydrated and drink enough water—even if that extra eggnog is calling your name. Besides that, make sure that you’re using your favorite moisturizer, body lotion, and hand cream every morning and night. Avoid exposing your hands, neck, and face to the cold air as much as you can when going out and your skin will thank you.

Exfoliate Everywhere

Exfoliating isn’t just an exclusive summertime practice to keep your skin fresh and glow ready. It is arguably even more important during the winter since you’re fighting against the drying elements of the season. Along with a product to gently exfoliate your face, you should be exfoliating all over with a body buffer in the shower. Try one with infused body wash featuring skin-loving ingredients like rosehip, green tea, and hibiscus extracts to cleanse and nourish your skin gently.

Try Not to Stress It

For being the so-called most wonderful time of the year, it seems like there’s way more than enough stress to go around. From last-minute shopping to trying to decide what to gift for the office Secret Santa party, it can often feel like you’re spread too thin. The thing is, stress and good skin don’t go together.

When you’re stressed you’ll have more trouble finding time for self-care, and that’s a shame because self-care is most important when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Don’t let your holiday obligations interrupt your important body care routines. Instead, stick to it, take long warm baths with a premium bath sponge, or enjoy some self-care retail therapy and pick up some lovely scented lotions your dry skin is begging for. Just remember that there’s more to the holiday season than the stress of it, so sit back and enjoy it.

It doesn’t take much to protect your skin this winter, but skipping these skincare steps can make you stress even more, hurting your skin’s look and feel, and creating a not-so-merry cycle. Be on guard but enjoy the holiday season while it lasts! Before you know it, you’ll be reading up on protecting your skin for summer.
