Getting Your Skin Holiday Party Ready

Sometimes, half of the fun of going to a holiday party is the anticipation. Shopping for the perfect attire and getting a new “do” or manicure simply makes the holidays brighter. Amidst the flurry of planning, remember that no party look is complete without a gleaming holiday glow – the ultimate accessory! A moisturizing winter skin routine is essential to look absolutely smashing for a moment beneath the mistletoe. We have just what you need to prepare your skin for winter festivities and stay fresh and radiant through the evening’s end!

How to Handle Winter Skin Problems
As the first day of Winter approaches, you feel it on your skin and in your bones. Looming holiday schedules can make even the most organized and devoted skincare enthusiast feel harried, parched, and withered. Need help finding the best skincare routine for cold weather? Our expert estheticians recommend these essential winter skincare tips:

• Switch up lightweight products for richer, more intensive moisturizing formulas that target dryness.
• Try cleansing with an oil-based, creamy cleanser versus a foaming formula.
• Add a serum and face oil to be layered with your alcohol-free moisturizer.
• Upgrade your moisturizing cream and treatments to those better suited for the season.

To help make this transition smoother, we’ve put together unique holiday gift sets to help you be prepared, calm, and ready for winter’s chill. All you have to do is give yourself the self-care gift of sticking to your winter skin care routine. No matter how late you get home or how much shopping still to do on your holiday gift list, this self-esteeming act will reward you with priceless confidence.

Be Prepared
Don’t RSVP to any holiday party unprepared. It is no fun (and unnecessary) to look back at holiday photos to see a weary, fatigued appearance. You can easily prepare your skin by taking the proper steps to head off fine lines, undereye puffiness and dark circles before they become evident. You are no beauty amateur! You know better than to enjoy salty Swedish meatballs, spiked egg nog, and other seemingly innocent party fare and not have the solutions on hand. Late nights, sugar, salt, and alcohol seem like a good idea at the time, but try telling that to your parched, sagging cheeks and the bags under your eyes. Sampling treats you don’t usually eat or being in new environments can expose you to potential allergens that can trigger inflammation, signs of aging and irritation.

Want to sparkle by the next get-together on your calendar? Then, a completely new winter skin care regimen is in order! Our Forever Radiant Lumafirm Lift & Glow Holiday Gift Set has the ideal clean skincare products to revitalize your complexion. The Pevonia eye cream and Peptide moisturizer are enriched with Peptides, Sorghum, and Diacetyl Boldine, effective skincare actives clinically proven to address the appearance of puffiness, shadows, dullness, fine lines, and crepiness earned from late-night shopping and festivities. The moisturizing face mist spray caps off your glow-getting holiday party prep perfectly.

If you want that glass skin look and know better than to try slugging, our Dewy Reveal Holiday Gift Set is packed with clean beauty approved winter skin care products to help achieve that coveted sparkling gleam (minus Petroleum Jelly). You’ll feel renewed comfort and joy with gentle, oil-to-foam cleansing, relaxing aromatherapy face oil, moisture-infusing skin mist, and intensive moisturizing cream. Pair with our Joyous Glow Holiday Gift Set, complete with a clean skincare mask, natural skin cleanser, peeling cream, and face spray, that will have you “dashing through the glow” with smooth, luminous skin.

Hibernate With Purpose
Winter months spent indoors present the opportune time to incorporate our Picture Perfect Micro-Retinol Holiday Gift Set into your winter skincare regimen. For sensitive skin types and folks who are leery of Retinol, yet want to see a transformation in their skin, the latest skin cycling trend is an excellent way to take advantage of this resurfacing, skin-renewing powerhouse. Simply exfoliate one night, use this regimen the next night and follow with a moisturizing routine the next two nights and repeat.

In the daytime, continue your moisturizing routine and faithfully use sun protection, despite gray, gloomy days. Our ocean safe sunscreen, imperfection-blurring natural eye cream, face mist spray, serum, and balancing moisturizer in the Hyaluronic Acid Infusion Holiday Gift Set are ideal for your recovery days and morning routine. What better treat for your skin than a glowing, dazzling holiday look that promotes skin health? Readied by these exceptional face moisturizer products that are clean beauty essentials on every skincare holiday menu, you’ll be able to put your best face forward with these party-prep perfecting solutions.
