The holidays are a joyful time, but they can be both busy and stressful. Cold weather can also take a toll on your skin. Finally, changes in your diet and hydration habits can leave you looking tired and worn. In order to keep your skin in shape during the holidays, there are some tips that we will share with you in this blog.

Why Get a Spa Treatment During the Holiday Season?

Booking one more thing into your holiday season can seem counterintuitive. However, you need something special book for yourself while you're caring for everyone else! Blocking out this time can help you exfoliate, clear clogged pores, and deeply moisturize skin that has been stressed by schedule and cold.

Tips for Glowing Skin

1) Manage Stress: It's a tiring time, no matter how much we enjoy prepping holiday celebrations with friends and family. Consider a meditation break at the end of the day. Pair this time with a scented candle that you love and spend 10 minutes winding down before bed.

2) Sleep! Sleeping cycles generally last about 90 minutes each. If you know you'll be up late wrapping or celebrating, give your body time to wind down, rest deeply and finish those sleep cycles.

3) Watch Your Plate: Many holiday food treats are loaded with sugar and salt, both of which can make you a bit puffy. If you know you're headed for a holiday party that will include rich, flavorful food, try to increase your intake of fruits and veggies throughout the day.

4) Hydrate All Day: Alcohol and coffee are both tough on your skin. Make sure you have a water bottle with you at all times and do your best to hydrate with any beverages that dry you out.

5) Exfoliate: There are many simple ways to exfoliate your skin in the bath or shower. Mix a bit of brown sugar and olive oil and gently work over your face, then rinse it off. The brown sugar will break down as you work it and olive oil has natural antibacterial properties.
