The holiday season is one of the best times of the year where you just forget all your worries, spend quality time with your family, enjoy get-togethers, binge eat your favorite foods, and drink loads of wine. Everyone deserves this relaxing break after all the hard work they do throughout the year, which means daily workouts and exercises are replaced by long sleeping hours and late-night drinking sessions replace the nighttime skincare routine, which is not the best thing to do to your skin. Nobody’s stopping you from enjoying this break or making the most out of it, but you shouldn’t neglect your skin in the process.
The sudden change in your daily routine caused due to the holiday season doesn’t really end well with your skin. That’s when skin issues like breakouts, puffiness, and dullness start arising, and that’s certainly not how you want to begin the new year. Read on as we take you through some products that will help you get that glow back.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is essential for keeping your skin soft and glowing. It feels like a mini facial that not only helps to slough away dead skin cells from the skin’s surface but also boosts blood circulation, leading to glowing and radiant skin. Indulge in regular exfoliation using a mild and gentle scrub, apart from buffing away the dryness; scrubbing will also help to reveal smooth and radiant skin underneath. You can use any scrub of your choice, just make sure it feels gentle on your skin, and don’t go overboard with exfoliation, otherwise, you will end up damaging your skin.
Massage
Massaging your face is one of the best ways to deal with skin woes like puffiness, dullness, under-eye bags, etc. Alcohol tends to make your skin look really puffy, if you notice the puffiness on your face, the best way to deal with it is by massaging your face. You can either use your fingers or a jade roller to massage your face. If you are using a jade roller, then make sure to place it in the fridge for a couple of minutes before using it. Massaging your face using a cold jade roller will encourage lymphatic drainage, which in turn, will reduce puffiness.
Vitamin C serum
Vitamin C serum is one of the best products to cure skin hangover. Vitamin C can do a lot of wonderful things for your skin, both oral intake and topical application of vitamin C can prove to be fruitful for your skin. You can ingest vitamin C orally in the form of fresh orange juice, having a glass of fresh orange juice the next morning will assist in curing skin hangover. As for topical application, you can apply a vitamin C serum on your skin. Aside from helping to prevent free radical damage, a vitamin C serum repairs your skin and exfoliates it mildly, thereby correcting the uneven skin tone.
Sheet mask

Sheets masks contain an abundance of nourishing ingredients that not only nourish the skin but also replenish it and make the skin and body feel relaxed at the same time. You should pick a sheet mask that is particularly designed to provide an extra boost of nourishment to your skin and makes your skin glow from within.
