Duo Digest: How to Bounce Back From Holiday-Induced Skin Stress
The holidays can be a whirlwind of celebrations, indulgences, and travel—and your skin often takes the brunt of it. Late nights, rich foods, and colder weather can leave your complexion looking dull, dehydrated, and stressed. Here’s how to bring your skin back to life after the festive season:
1. Sooth and Calm Irritation
Holiday stressors like changes in climate and alcohol consumption can leave your skin red and inflamed. To calm irritation, incorporate gentle products with soothing ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile. Avoid over-exfoliating or harsh cleansers to protect your skin barrier, and opt for fragrance-free products that reduce sensitivity.
2. Rehydrate and Repair Your Skin
Hydration is key to bouncing back from the dryness caused by winter air and holiday travel. Use a rich moisturiser with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin to lock in moisture. Pair it with a hydrating serum for an extra boost. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within.
Getting back to a consistent routine with these simple steps will help your skin recover and glow as you step into the new year. Remember, your skin’s health reflects your overall habits, so balance is key.
