But don’t worry – we’ve got your back! We’ve created the ultimate skin survival guide to keep you glowing through Christmas and beyond.
PRE-PARTY PERFECTION
Skin Survival Guide – How Can I Prep Like a Pro?
Before stepping into the spotlight, it’s time to get your glow on. Pre-party treatments are your secret weapon to look and feel fabulous. Here are some recommendations:
Is your skin feeling dry/dehydrated?
Then you must try the Innoaesthetics Dermatology XERO Peel and/or Innoaesthetics TDS XERO mesotherapy, known for its ability to deeply hydrate the skin and restore its moisture balance, which is ideal for combating dryness and dehydration.
Sensitive Skin?
Try an Environ Facial, Juliette Armand Facial, or Signature Facial, including Red LED Light Therapy, which is designed to calm inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and provide gentle, soothing care for sensitive or compromised skin.
Is your skin feeling dull?
A Hydrafacial or iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial or Environ Facial will brighten the complexion, boost circulation, and exfoliate the skin for a radiant, revitalised glow.
Acne prone skin?
The Innoaesthetics Dermatology AKN Peel and/or Innoaesthetics TDS AKN mesotherapy or pH Formula AC Resurfacing, or a Signature Facial with Blue LED Light Therapy or Juliette Armand Facials & Chemical Peels, as well as microneedling, which are great to help to reduce breakouts, work to control oil production, and improve skin clarity by targeting acne-causing bacteria and promoting skin renewal.
Normal skin just needs maintenance?
Then a Signature Facial, Environ Facial or iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial or a Hydrafacial are excellent as preventative treatments for normal skin. They are also great facials to for helping to maintain a good skin condition, boost hydration, and keep the complexion balanced and glowing.
Does your legs and bum need a lift?
CACI leg and bum lift with ECM roller is an effective treatment for improving cellulite and toning the legs and buttocks by using advanced microcurrent technology to stimulate the muscles, boost collagen production, and enhance skin texture.
You can also get your skin holiday-ready with at-home preparation ahead of the Christmas festivities. Start with a mini facial kit by Juliette Armand for exfoliation and a revitalising mask to cleanse and refresh your complexion. For smooth, dewy lips, use the iS Clinical Lip Duo to prep your lips for long-lasting lipstick. To achieve a radiant glow, the Inno Perfect Glow is perfect for the body, while the new Jane Iredale Christmas palettes will add a festive touch to your makeup look. Don’t forget to enhance your tan with the Vita Liberata tanning box for a natural, sun-kissed finish. All of these products are available in the FESTIVE section on MYSKIN shop for your convenience!
POST-PARTY RECOVERY
What skin rescue remedies do you use when the festivities are over?
The aftermath of festive fun can leave you feeling (and looking) a little less than merry, and post-party recovery is key to maintaining glowing refreshed skin. Here’s how to bounce back and restore your skin sparkle.
Start by turbo-boosting hydration with a Profhilo treatment, known for its deep skin hydration and rejuvenation.
Detox facial to help banish breakouts and revive tired skin with a detoxifying facial – Hydrafacial is a great treatment to deep cleanse and exfoliate to help draw out impurities and give your complexion a much-needed boost.
For those who need a serious skin reset, skin resurfacing or chemical peel will renew the superficial layers of the skin, reducing signs of fatigue, fine lines, and blemishes, leaving your skin rejuvenated and radiant.
In the clinic, we offer a wide range of chemical peels, from mild to medium-strength, including iS Clinical Fire & Ice, FILLMED Skin Perfusion Light & Bright Peel, pH Formula Resurfacing Treatments, Juliette Armand Ameson Peels and iS Clinical Prodigy Peel ‘P2’.
Lymphatic drainage treatment – say goodbye to puffiness and fluid retention with this relaxing post-party, post-indulgence detoxifying treatment – CACI Lymphatic drainage. It’s the ultimate way to refresh your body and mind after one too many wines and mince pies. In the clinic, we use the CACI Quantum Body Machine to help flush out toxins and boost blood flow and lymphatic circulation for improved flexibility and even skin texture and tone.
For post-festivity recovery solutions at home, the best option is to take integral supplements to boost the body. To support overall skin health, incorporate Advanced Nutrition supplements like Biome Powder for gut health, Digest Pro for digestion, and Vitamin C for an extra antioxidant boost.
For self-care, indulge in products like the Deesse Express Mask, iS Skin Renewal Limited Edition Kit, and Cliniccare Time Reverse Masks to restore radiance.
For an added hydration boost, try the Juliette Armand Hydration Therapy Kit, Divine Self-Heating Mask, or soothing Eye Masks to refresh and rejuvenate your skin post-celebrations.
SELF-CARE OVER THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD
Skin Survival Guide – How can I maintain my skin’s health over Christmas?
In between the parties, it’s essential to practice a little TLC to keep your skin happy throughout the season.
- Stay Hydrated: Water is your best friend! It helps flush out toxins and keeps your skin looking plump and hydrated. For an extra boost, consider hyaluronic acid serums or collagen-infused drinks.
- Stick to Your Skincare Routine: With all the excitement, it’s tempting to skip your nightly skincare. Don’t! Cleanse away makeup, dirt, and oil every evening and treat your skin to a rich night cream or overnight mask.
- SPF, Even in Winter: The winter sun might feel weak, but its UV rays can still cause damage. Use a moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin, even on cloudy days.
