Post-Holiday Skincare: How to Get Your Glow Back After the Party Season

The festive party was a blast, but your skin pays the price. After those extra glasses of booze, a lot of heavy snacks and meals, and staying cosy inside central heating, your skin can become a bit tired, dull, or puffy.

Experiencing these right now? Don’t worry. Here is a simple plan for post-holiday skincare recovery that will get your skin back to its best in no time.

Brighten and Smooth

Lack of sleep can make your complexion look grey and flat. To wake things up, use a gentle chemical exfoliant (like Lactic Acid) to nibble away at dead skin cells.

Repair the Damage

To truly repair the skin barrier after party season, you need to strengthen your skin’s natural shield. Look for products with Ceramides or Niacinamide. These help repair the skin barrier, soothe irritation, and prevent moisture from escaping.

De-Puff with a Massage

If your face feels heavy or swollen from salty food, use a facial massage technique. Take a few drops of our FaceYoga® Age-reversing Saffron Serum on your face and gently massage with the Kansa Wand. This oil doesn’t just help relieve a swollen face but also repairs the skin barrier after party season.

Cool Down the Water

Hot water strips away natural oils. Switch to lukewarm water when washing your face. This small post-holiday skincare step prevents redness and keeps your skin’s natural oils right where they belong.

Pillowcase Swap

After a week of late nights, your pillowcase has likely collected hairspray, makeup residue, and sweat. Swap it for a fresh silk or cotton pillowcase. It’s a tiny change that prevents new year breakouts and keeps your skin clean while you get that much-needed beauty sleep.

FAQs

Why does my skin look so dull after Christmas?

• Late nights, sugary treats, and alcohol can slow down cell turnover and dehydrate your body, leaving your skin looking flat and tired.

Is alcohol really that bad for my skin?

• Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it dehydrates your skin and can cause inflammation, leading to redness and puffiness.

Can a facial massage really help with puffiness?

• Absolutely! Gently massaging your face helps move fluid away from puffy areas (like under the eyes) and improves your natural circulation.
