Happy Holiday Makeup and Skincare
The holidays are a fun time to do something different with your makeup, and a time to ensure your skincare routine meets the needs of new makeup or products you use for this special time of year. Work parties, family gatherings, and special appearances are all opportunities to look and feel your best by doing something unexpected for your holiday makeup. False eyelashes, sparkling brows and lips, a new manicure, or face gems can be something simple, yet powerful when you make an entrance. The holidays carry magic and sparkle, and some extra self-care is deserved. Facials, waxing, and spa visits can be just what the holiday doctor ordered, but don’t forget to adjust your skincare routine to ensure you leave your skin clean and refreshed!
Party Prepping Skincare
A work party in the middle of the day can still hold some extra magic with a new style, makeup color, or a touch of bling. This is the time of year when ugly sweaters have their own contests, so if you show up to work one day with a little extra, it will be perfectly acceptable. Flash facials are a trend this holiday season and help keep your skin makeup-ready, giving you plenty of time to finish getting ready for your party. Flash facials instantly boost skin’s texture and appearance, leaving it glowing and you feeling great! A professional dermatologist can perform facials that brighten and tighten the skin before the holiday events begin, especially before a big event when you want to look your best!
Talk to your local dermatologist about plans for events this holiday to ensure you don’t have a heavy extraction or treatment that requires some healing time – you don’t want to be stressed over covering up the signs of healing from an incredible treatment! Allow yourself time to look your best!
Holiday Skincare Gifts
There are few things that bring a smile to people’s faces the way a new makeup product or skincare holiday gift does! From teens to adults to seniors, everyone loves getting new skincare products or spa day gift certificates under the tree. If you have people on your list who are difficult to shop for, consider getting them a sample line of skincare products or a high-quality makeup set they can enjoy right away! Group facials and treatments can be a fun way to celebrate with loved ones this holiday season!
Men also enjoy shaving gifts, aftershaves, and soothing products when they shave, and beard softeners when they let it grow! Beauty and skincare are universal gifts that everyone enjoys receiving!
You Don’t Need Sunscreen At Night
Some people get so stuck in skincare routines that they put on sunscreen in the evening, or their only moisturizer contains sunscreen. This holiday, invest in a moisturizing cream that complements your desired look and leaves your skin looking flawless for pictures. Using a setting spray can help your look stay on through the night, so skip the sunscreen for nighttime affairs.
Even Cinderella Washed Her Face
Even though it wasn’t in the movie, Cinderella certainly washed her face, and so should you! After a night of socializing, hopefully dancing, and wearing a holiday look, getting the makeup and dirt particles off the skin gives it time to breathe and recover while you sleep. Never leave makeup on overnight. Even a wipe and a rinse-free cleanser, followed by a moisturizer, can be a lifesaver!
Start Planning Now
If you haven’t booked your facial or eyebrow appointment yet, please do so today! Boutique and beauty shops book up quickly around the holidays, and you don’t want to miss out on feeling and looking your best. If you suffer from acne, you want to minimize it over the holidays. Contact a dermatologist, who can provide topical treatments that offer near-immediate relief. It isn’t too late to make those calls and book an appointment, but remember, you can always do a home facial in a pinch for the short term and plan to visit your derma doc in the new year!
So, go ahead and do something extra this holiday season – get those lashes, get that facial, get those brows waxed, and get your nails done! Spoil yourself and look and feel your best at every fun event you get to attend. If you have skin concerns, professional dermatologists have solutions, and in Atlanta, Buckhead Dermatology is hands-down the best dermatology office in the area. Dr. Sherrie Straughn genuinely cares for each patient and works to get them the results they seek! Don’t wait, and call 404-816-4000 today for an appointment and get the skin you have always wanted for the holidays!
