The holidays are a time for celebration, but they can also take a toll on our skin. From late nights to indulgent treats, our skin can often feel dull, dehydrated, and lacklustre in the aftermath. But fear not! With a little TLC, you can bring your skin back to its best. Here's how: 1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Drink plenty of water:  Aim for 8 glasses a day to flush out toxins and replenish your skin from within. Use a hydrating cleanser:  Opt for a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Layer on the moisture:  Apply a hydrating serum followed by a rich moisturiser morning and night. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin. 2. Gentle Exfoliation is Key Remove dead skin cells:  Gently exfoliate no more than once a week with an enzyme exfoliant or a gentle physical scrub. This will reveal brighter, smoother skin. My favourite exfoliant is Aspect Fruit Enzyme mask. Available in my suite. Be mindful:  Avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate sensitive skin. 3. Nourishing Face Masks Indulge in a hydrating mask:  Treat yourself to a deeply hydrating sheet mask or a creamy mask to replenish moisture and soothe any irritation. My favourites are Ultraceuticals B2 Hydrating Sheet Mask, and Ultraceuticals Ultra Replenishing Mask. 4. Prioritize Sleep Beauty sleep is real:  Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Sleep allows your skin to repair and regenerate itself. Pair it with Ultraceuticals Ultra DNA3 Complex Recovery Night Cream to repair your skin's DNA while you sleep. 5. Don't Forget the Sunscreen Especially in Australia:  The sun's rays can still damage your skin, even on cloudy days, and even if you're inside. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day. I love Ultraceuticals Ultra UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF50, and Aspect SPF50 CC Cream for a bit of a glow. 6. Indulge in a Professional Treatment Treat yourself:  Consider a professional facial to deeply cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin. Plus receive professional advice on how to achieve your skin goals for 2025! 7. Limit Alcohol and Sugar Cut back on indulgences:  Alcohol and sugary foods can dehydrate your skin and contribute to dullness. 8. Eat a Healthy Diet Nourish your skin from within:  Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats in your diet. These foods are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that promote healthy skin. Consult with a nutritionist on including an Essential Fatty Acid supplement into your diet. 9. Be Patient Skin recovery takes time:  Don't expect to see results overnight. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine, and you'll soon notice a significant improvement in your skin's health and radiance. By following these tips, you can help your skin recover from the holiday season and regain its natural glow. Remember to listen to your skin and adjust your routine as needed.
