Radiant skin for the holidays: skin tips for December

The holidays are coming: dinners, family visits and evenings when you would like to look your best. December is exactly when the skin has a hard time. Cold, wind, dry air and busy days often lead to a dull complexion or blemishes.

In this article you can read how to support your skin this month, so you can sit down at the Christmas table feeling relaxed.

Why your skin needs extra care around Christmas

Outside it is cold and raw, and indoors the heating is turned up high. In December we also often sleep less, eat differently and wear make-up more often. This makes the skin lose its balance more quickly. It can feel tight, start to flake or develop blemishes.

Your skincare in winter

A good routine does not have to be complicated. In winter the skin mainly needs protection, nourishment and recovery:

• Use a mild cleanser without alcohol or perfume.
• Choose a nourishing day cream with ceramides or hyaluronic acid, so the skin retains moisture.
• Apply a hydrating serum under your cream, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
• Get enough sleep and drink enough water.
• Be careful with scrubs and exfoliating products just before a party. Doing too much actually makes the skin vulnerable.

With these small adjustments the skin stays calmer and smoother.

A treatment for the holidays

Would you like to give your skin something extra for the holidays? Then a treatment without downtime is a good choice.

In December many clients book an Instant Glow Facial. It hydrates the skin, makes it more even and makes it look fresher straight away. LED light therapy is also pleasant at this time of year, especially for tired or dull skin.

Would you like to work on your skin in the new year? Then winter is a good time to start with Morpheus8 or IPL. These treatments improve the skin texture, reduce pigment spots and make the skin firmer. In winter the skin has time to recover calmly.
