How to care for your skin during and after Christmas

At Christmas, we must take special care to keep our skin radiant and in the best condition. It is a special time of the year, in which we change our usual routine, and we add some factors that can negatively affect our skin. We sleep less, we consume more alcohol, and we change our eating habits, to which we add many more calories and sugars. From akytania we are going to give you some tips to take care of your skin in this beautiful period of the year, and to keep it in its best condition after Christmas.

The basics (at Christmas and throughout the year)

Three words: cleaning, hydration and photoprotection. They are the basics that we must follow throughout the year, but as we have already mentioned, at this time, with the cold and excesses, even more so. In addition, we can also have a series of products that will facilitate skin care, such as masks, scrubs, serums, etc.

Cleaning

It is highly recommended to keep our skin clean and free of impurities, so our suggestion is to wash the skin thoroughly twice a day. Due to the food we eat at Christmas and the intake of alcohol, these impurities appear faster, and therefore a couple of daily skin cleanses are essential. At the end of Christmas, cleanings will be even more effective, since the skin will generate less impurities when we return to our most common eating habits.

Hydration

Alcohol, as well as foods rich in sugar and salt, dehydrate our body. Consequently, there is also a loss of water in our skin, which contributes to worse cell health, and the appearance of dryness, wrinkles and expression marks. The solution is to drink a good amount of water, at least 6 glasses a day. In addition, we recommend adopting good hydration habits throughout the year, and also using hydrating products, such as our spectacular Glowly Face day serum.

Photoprotection

Along with dryness and cold, a dangerous enemy of the skin is the Sun. Excessive exposure in outdoor environments can contribute to dehydration, and at the same time to the aging of the skin and the appearance of spots. It is convenient to protect ourselves from direct light on the face, and add to our night care routine, so that our skin can rest and regenerate while we sleep. Beauty Booster Night Serum is our perfect ally to bring skin back to life during a night's rest.

One extra tip: get more sleep

Cells throughout the body regenerate during the night, and that is why at Christmas the body suffers more, since at this time we may have less time to sleep due to commitments and celebrations. Our recommendation is to try to sleep whenever we can 8 hours in a row, so you know, try to create some space in your planner and invest in your own health. Sleep more and your skin will be glowing and rejuvenated.

Stress and sugar ... Our great enemies

Shopping, meals, people, friends, having everything ready, and looking spectacular ... When everything is put together, we do not have a minute of rest, and the accumulation of tasks and lack of rest generate stress, fatigue and tiredness. Stress especially, although it seems a myth, it is not. If we add the lack of rest, our body fills up with free radicals, and without a good routine of cell regeneration, all this ends up negatively affecting the skin.

We must block some space in our daily planner. Use it to breathe, sit down, rest, close your eyes. Reducing stress at Christmas is possible, and it is also a great therapy to improve the health of our skin. Luckily, this period is not too long, and at the end of Christmas it is advisable to make an effort to return to a healthy and balanced diet.

On the other hand, sugar, which acts negatively on the production of elastin and collagen, and drives our hormones out of control, has a negative effect on the health of our skin. If we control the intake of sugar, we will avoid the appearance of pimples and impurities, and at the same time we will help to rejuvenate and revitalize our skin. So you know, stay away from those nougats!

The best investment: a good serum
