How to achieve glowing skin and lush lashes during the stressful holiday season
The holidays are a time for family, friends, and fun. But let’s be honest, they can also be a time of stress. Between work parties, gift shopping, and preparing for family gatherings, it’s easy to let your beauty routine fall by the wayside. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Here are five easy ways to get glowy skin—just in time for all your holiday festivities.
1. Get Your Beauty Sleep
During the busy holiday season, it’s tempting to stay up late wrapping gifts or watching Christmas movies. But if you want to avoid looking like a Grinch, make sure to get your beauty sleep. Lack of sleep can cause your skin to look dull and lifeless, so aim for at least eight hours a night. And if you can’t seem to get enough shut-eye, try using an eye cream with caffeine in it to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. For a list of some of the best eye creams on the market, click here. If your lack of beauty sleep is diminishing your eyelash count, consider investing in an eyelash serum.
Keep in mind lack of sleep can take a toll on your skin, leaving you looking tired and lackluster. To avoid this, aim for seven to eight hours of sleep per night. And if you can't get a full night's rest, take a power nap or two during the day. Your skin will thank you!
2. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation is key to keeping your skin looking its best year-round, but it's especially important during the holiday season when dead skin cells can accumulate more quickly due to all the extra hand-washing and sanitizing we do this time of year. To slough away dead skin cells and reveal brighter skin underneath, look for an exfoliator with gentle physical exfoliants like jojoba beads or sugar crystals— harsh scrubs can damage delicate facial skin. Exfoliate two to three times per week for best results.
If you don't have time for a lengthy exfoliation session, try using a sugar scrub in the shower or a face mask once or twice a week. Or you may want to try the new trendy way of exfoliating called “skin cycling.”
3. Give Yourself a Massage
You don’t have to go to a spa to enjoy the benefits of a massage. Just take a few minutes each day to give yourself a facial massage using gentle circular motions. This will help increase blood circulation and give your skin a radiant glow. Plus, it feels pretty darn good too!
To do one at home, start by applying a serum or face oil to your skin. Then, using your fingertips in firm but gentle circular motions, massage your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin for two minutes each. Not only will this feel amazing, but it'll also help reduce puffiness and promote cell turnover for brighter skin.
4. Use a Mask
Face masks are great for giving your skin an extra boost of hydration—which is especially important during the dry winter months. Many stores offer mask packages, making it easy to indulge.
For an easy at-home solution, try using a hydrating sheet mask or making your own mask using ingredients like honey and avocado. Or if you’re looking for something more indulgent, treat yourself to a professional facial before all the holiday craziness begins. Your skin will thank you!
5. Invest in Good Skincare Products
One of the best ways to get glowy skin is by using quality skincare products that are tailored to your specific skin type. If you’re not sure where to start, consult with a dermatologist or esthetician who can recommend products that will work well for you. And don’t forget about sunscreen! Wearing SPF on a daily basis is crucial for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays—even during the winter months. So find a sunscreen that you like and make sure to apply it every day as part of your morning skincare routine.
