The holidays can wreak havoc on your skin, we know. T'was the season for overindulging and sacrificing sleep for a few more hours of sipping cocktails and dancing up a storm. But don't worry, we're here to help you get your skin care back on track!
Step 1: Catch up on your z’s
After nights upon nights of being awake way past your bedtime, one of
the best ways to get your complexion back on track is to ensure you get your
beauty sleep. When you’re done with the holidays, get back onto a solid sleep schedule:
Make an effort to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Step 2: Water, oh water!
The more dehydrated you are, the worse your skin and hair will look, so
if you've been living on cocktails and caffeine, it's time to turn your
attention back to good old fashioned water. My favorite way to stay hydrated is
to fill a glass pitcher with water, sliced cucumbers and lemon wedges to entice
you to drink water throughout the day.
Step 3: All over masks
A mask is such a useful tool on your quest to get your complexion back
to its pre-party state. Winter in general can also take its toll on your skin,
so nurture your face back to health with a hydrating mask to replenish and
rejuvenate your skin.
Step 4: Five letters, one word
Right. The holidays are done, so what’s the next step? DETOX!
Start every morning for the next week with warm water and lemon. This
will help flush toxins from your body. Load up your daily meals with lots of
fresh vegetables and leafy greens, opt for lean proteins, good fats (olive oil,
avocados) and steer clear of anything sugary or laden with fat and calories. If
you can stand it, trade your daily mug of coffee for herbal tea or better yet,
another cup of warm lemon water. Snack on fruit and raw nuts (rather than
cookies or chips), and after a week, you should feel much better overall and
notice your skin is brighter and back to normal.
I really hope this few tips are as helpful to you as they have always
been to me.
Happy new year!
