Lights, check. Gifts, check. Healthy diet, um pass? During this season, everything comes in excess from decorations, presents, and especially food. With holiday events and family parties, our diets fade and our pants get noticeably tighter. Awful to think about when you’re trying to look your absolute best for New Year’s Eve!

Say Au Revoir to Dry Winter Skin!

Even though the weather outside is frightful, that doesn’t mean your skin has to be too. For many, the cold, crisp days of winter signal the holidays, gifts, and family; but also dry, cracked skin. If you’ve ever experienced dry skin, it can be as uncomfortable as getting caught going back for seconds at the company holiday dinner.

But don’t be discouraged! You can take some preventative measures to help alleviate dry skin this season with three simple steps: hydrating, exfoliating, and protecting. And every savvy holiday shopping knows time is of the essence! To help keep you on your tight holiday schedule, the HydraFacial™ does all three in one :)

Step 1: Hydration
Our body is made up of 70% water, so it is essential to keep yourself hydrated. Like summer, our skin loses water throughout the day but it is even more elevated because we take in less water during winter months. Be sure to drink up! Externally, always moisturize the skin with products containing the key ingredient like hyaluronic acid, the best hydrating ingredient on the market. It holds as much as 1000 times it weight in water! HydraFacial™ treatments administer hyaluronic acid making skin instantly looking plumper. Keeping moisture within your body is the first major step in fighting itchy, dry skin.

Step 2: Exfoliation
Dull skin results from build-up of dead cells and dirt. In addition our skin is constantly exposed to toxic pollution and makeup. All these factors lead to extremely unappealing skin! Don’t you want to glow in every holiday picture? An important step in the HydraFacial™ is buffing away all harmful build-up to reveal your younger looking self. By exfoliating the skin often, you can help expel all the unwanted impurities and allow new skin cells to breathe. With the HydraFacial™’s zero downtime, it is safe to do even before pictures!

Step 3: Protection
The harsh, crisp winter winds are unforgiving, so you need to think about protection all winter long! Exfoliation leaves healthy skin ready to be nourished by rich, nutrients. The HydraFacial™ is more effective and efficient in Vortex-Fusing™ the skin in rich antioxidants. It ensures deep saturation and protection compared to manual application, which only covers minimal surface area.

Moisture and protection are the two key components to help achieve soft, glowing skin. Believe it or not, sunscreen is essential even during winter to help protect skin from harmful UV rays. The HydraFacial™ Daily take-home products contain the same performing ingredient as the professional treatment and can help augment your treated skin while sustaining the HydraFacial™ glow!

Beautiful, lush skin is possible even during harsh winter months! Don’t hide your face from others or yourself this season. Let your healthy skin be a lasting gift to yourself this holiday.
