Daily Tips for Glowing Skin
While the holiday season is a time for love and laughter with family and friends, it can still be a very stressful time of year. Between the changes in weather, busy schedules, and never-ending food temptations, our bodies can be put under a lot of pressure — especially the skin. That’s why we’re excited to share some of our favorite tips to help you maintain your glow throughout the holidays!
1) Stay Hydrated
Water can be a saving grace for your skin, especially if you plan on partaking in some holiday cocktails. To encourage yourself to drink more water, try adding fresh fruits like lemons and strawberries, or herbs like mint and basil, for extra flavor!

2) Snack Smart
An unhealthy diet can impact metabolism, lead to weight gain, and even prevent your organs (skin included) from functioning properly. You can still enjoy festive treats without interfering with your daily goals: just eat healthy snacks before a holiday function, curbing your appetite so you’re not tempted to overindulge in your less-healthy favorites! Try snacks like:
- Nuts — A good source of essential fatty acids, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.
- Dark Chocolate (70% Cacao or Higher) — One of our favorites! Studies have shown great benefits of cacao’s high antioxidants for skin protection.
- Blueberries — Rich in antioxidants that bind to free radicals to slow the effects of aging.
- Zinc-Rich Foods— Zinc helps reduce inflammation and helps kill acne bacteria. Instead of ham for dinner, try seafood such as oysters, crab, or lobster. Other foods high in zinc include spinach, cashews, and pumpkin seeds.

3) Make Sleep a Priority
With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, your body needs time to properly rejuvenate. To keep your skin looking its best, it’s important to get the proper amount of beauty sleep each night. To prevent sleep lines, we recommend swapping out regular pillowcases for silk ones to reduce friction on the face.

4) Don’t Forget Your Skin Care
Between the dry, winter weather and environmental pollutants, the holidays can be tough on your skin. Switching to a heavier, antioxidant-rich moisturizer can help your skin combat the effects of dry air.
