Taking Care of Your Skin during the Holidays

November is here and that means the holiday season is quickly approaching! Don’t let your skin suffer from the festivities; keep your routine on track by following these tips. 

Control Your Cravings

Holidays mean many things to different people, but one thing most of us think of during the holiday season is really great food! While this is certainly something to look forward to, it’s important to help our skin stay on track. The best way to maintain control of our skin condition is to watch what we eat and keep sugar intake in moderation. Though difficult to do, it is worth the effort to continue eating a well-balanced diet and drink extra water to stay hydrated. Our skin (and waists) will thank us.

Understand What’s Happening

If traveling during the holiday season, our skin may be more dry than normal or become more sensitive without us understanding why. One of the difficult things for skin to deal with is continual change in the temperature and humidity of the external environment. When this occurs, the moisture barrier takes a beating and outer layers of skin cells dry out more easily. This combined with changes in diet, sun exposure and stress can also take a toll on our skin. Keep these situations in mind when the holiday season has you away from home so you can take the proper precautions. 

Maintain Routine

We often don’t realize it, but the basic care of our facial skin suffers when we’re away from home. We may rely on facial cleansers available at hotels or homes we might be staying in and rarely will they clean the same as what we’re accustomed to using. Different cleansers, the continuation of exposure to harmful free radicals and added dryness must be controlled to keep skin healthy. This involves staying hydrated, using effective antioxidant products, exfoliating and keeping skin clean.

All of these necessary components come built-in with the Theraderm Skin Renewal Travel System. It comes with every Skin Renewal System product in TSA-approved packaging so you will have everything you need for healthy, comfortable and youthful looking skin.
