Whether you’ve got a quiet meal planned at home or a huge family gathering with all of the extended members of your clan, there’s no denying the fact that Christmas is often a gruelling time. There’s the planning, the prep and the parties, which can all take their toll on your body, often causing havoc with your complexion. We thought that now would be a good time to introduce you to five products which you can start using now, ahead of the festive season, which will help to bolster your complexion and ensure that the festive effect isn’t too detrimental:
Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Intensive Skin Treatment Oil
If you have dry, dehydrated or ageing skin then the combination of central heating, cold winter air and plenty of Christmas booze has the potential to make things much worse. Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Intensive Skin Treatment Oil is enriched with vitamins and natural oils to support stressed skin, and nourish and encourage natural skin renewal. You can apply it twice a week or use it as an intensive treatment over a shorter period of time, but it will do wonders for your skin during the excesses of the festive season.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Morning Matrix
This formula from Elemis is your skin’s best friend when it comes to external stressors. As well as containing Japanese Artemisia Capillaris which helps protect against the effects of blue light on the skin, turmeric helps support skin by protecting collagen and elastin from stress-induced degradation and a microalgae blend helps to protect skin from stress signals and visible ageing for a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Decleor Plum Eye Cream
The eyes are one of the first places to show the signs of stress and fatigue, and there’s rarely a more stressful and tiring time than Christmas! Decleor Plum Eye Cream is a fragrance-free cream that has a double-action formula to lift and firm the eye contours, and boost radiance. It also contains pearlescent particles and soft powders to conceal dark circles and fine lines, which will help you to “fake it til you make it” if the effects of Christmas get too heavy!
Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance
This moisturising cream from Dermalogica does so much more than just hydrating your skin. It protects your complexion by combining key barrier lipids that enhance skin’s natural resilience and supports barrier recovery, as well as hyaluronic acid to bolster hydration levels.The formula smooths the appearance of dry lines and helps repair damaged skin, while botanical extracts and vitamins repair prematurely ageing skin, giving you a cream which targets current issues with your skin AND helps to prevent any future issues that may arise.
