28 Nov Tips For Keeping Your Skin Hydrated This Party Season
The holiday season is just around the corner, and while the festive parties and celebrations bring joy, they can also take a toll on your skin. Late nights, indulgent meals, and perhaps a few too many cocktails can leave your skin looking dull and dehydrated. But fear not! With a few simple steps, you can keep your skin glowing and hydrated throughout the party season.
1. Drink Plenty of Water
It’s the most straightforward and essential tip: stay hydrated from the inside out. During the holiday season, alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate your body, leaving your skin looking lackluster. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and alternate between alcoholic drinks and water during parties. If plain water feels boring, infuse it with fruits like lemon, cucumber, or berries for a refreshing twist.
2. Invest in a Good Moisturizer
Choose a rich, hydrating moisturiser to combat dryness caused by cold weather and indoor heating. A product from our award winning Glutaceuticals range such as the 5 a day and for extra hydration, consider layering a hydrating serum under your moisturiser. Our HA serum is fantastic for this!
3. Don’t Skip Your Nighttime Routine
Late nights can make it tempting to skip your skincare routine, but this is when your skin does most of its repair work. Cleanse your face to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil, then apply a nourishing night cream or our revolutionary Night Shift which does all the hard work whilst you sleep.
4. Use a Humidifier
If you’re spending a lot of time indoors, consider using a humidifier to combat the drying effects of indoor heating. A humidifier adds moisture back into the air, helping your skin stay hydrated and preventing it from becoming dry and flaky.
5. Eat Water-Rich Foods
Incorporate water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, oranges, and leafy greens into your diet. These not only help with hydration but also provide essential vitamins and antioxidants to keep your skin healthy and radiant.
6. Limit Long, Hot Showers
While a steamy shower feels amazing during the colder months, prolonged exposure to hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water and limit your shower time to protect your skin’s barrier.
7. Don’t Forget SPF
Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin, leading to premature aging and dryness. Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and make it a non-negotiable part of your morning routine.
Glow All Season Long
By following these tips, you can keep your skin hydrated, glowing, and ready to shine in all those party photos. The key is consistency: hydrate from within, nourish your skin with the right products, and protect it from external aggressors. So, go ahead and enjoy the festivities—you’ll be glowing brighter than the holiday lights!
