Over indulgence during the festive season and cold winter weather wreaking havoc on your skin? Whether it’s the change of weather or the extra treats, our skin can find it challenging to adapt quickly. Christmas can be chaotic, but your skincare doesn’t have to be, so we’ve picked our top products to help keep your skin healthy during the silly season this year.
Dead skin cells be gone
Dull and lifeless skin, we’ve all been there, especially around the busiest time of the year. Your battery might be low but your skin doesn’t have to be. Our Instant Detoxifying & Energising Facial Exfoliator is your partner in crime when your skin is feeling a little down. Loaded with Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium, this trio of treats aims to instantly purify and exfoliate skin whilst balancing oil and sebum production, for an even skin tone. Harsh exfoliators are a thing of the past, this one has fine exfoliating granules to slough away dead skin cells, leaving the complexion brighter than the summers day you’re counting down to.
Leave the bags at home
You’ve got enough bags to carry with all the Christmas shopping, you don’t need extra ones under your eyes. Our Total-Lifting & Replenishing Eye Serum contains key active ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Mica and peptides to tighten skin around the delicate eye area and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. “The eyelid skin is the thinnest and most delicate skin and shows age the fastest,” says Debra Jaliman, MD, author of Skin Rules and an assistant professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Sleep yourself to better skin
The power of sleep and the products you use while getting some shut eye can really help to restore your skin goodness overnight. While we are sleeping, our cells work to repair any damage that our skin cells have experienced during the day from environmental pollutants and UV rays. Our Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Overnight Restoring Cream is infused with powerful ingredients to produce hydrated and nourished skin while you get your beauty sleep. This cream contains Shea Butter to help tighten skin, whilst Hyaluronic Acid works to deeply hydrate, and Cupuacu aims to soothe and rejuvenate your skin for the next day.
Having a good skincare routine is key to healthy skin all year round. “Investing early in the health of your skin, with regular skincare, will not only better protect it from the harsh effects of winter, but also keep you looking and feeling your best throughout the year,'' says Steven Nwe, DO, a dermatologist with Northwestern Medicine. “The key to skin resiliency is knowing your skin and treating it well”.
