As the beauty sphere focuses on pre-holiday soirées, let us remind you that the post-party skincare ritual is just as important
The holiday season is now in full force. It’s the time of the year when we get an extra few hours of sleep whiling away the hours over a glass of wine with yet another version of Last Christmas playing in the background. It’s also an excuse for beauty lovers to be as festive with experimental glam. Besides, every occasion is an invitation to explore the makeup playground. While it’s given that the focus is on the pre-party prep, the day after is as much a part of the experience as the scene itself.

Skincare takes no holiday breaks. And just before we indulge ourselves in late-night celebrations, it’s important to look after our skin health this season. Ahead, we listed wellness-minded ways to recover tired skin from within.
Start your day right
There are more than one way to cure holiday hangovers, but unsurprisingly, drinking water is at the top of the list. Dehydration can be easily detected through the skin and can cause overall dullness. Incorporate a double-cleansing method to remove excess makeup, oil, and dirt from the skin. A formula like Shiseido’s Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam eliminates impurities while retaining its essential moisture. It’s also enriched with anti-aging properties that prolong and restore the skin’s youthful look.
Aside from the right cleanser, a partner beauty tool adds a sense of luxury to any routine. Take FOREO’s Luna Facial Cleansing and Massaging Device for example. It renders a relaxing facial massage while lifting away visible dirt.
Focus on hydration
Hydration is central to recovering tired skin. As with beauty routines, integrating hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Panthenol, and Aloe Vera helps replenish skin moisture. Products like Drunk Elephant’s B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum act like a cool glass of water for thirsty skin. Its fast-absorbing formula is infused with Pro-vitamin B5, Pineapple Ceramide, and Sodium Hyaluronate to visibly replenish the complexion and improve the look of skin texture and tone.
A spritz of L’Occitane’s Aqua Reotier Fresh Moisturizing Mist is also the perfect choice for an instant boost of hydration at any time you need it. Its calcium-rich formula energizes tired skin, rendering a fresh-looking finish.
Set the right mood
Festive fragrances are a fool-proof way to set the right mood. A whiff of Jo Malone London’s White Moss and Snowdrop encapsulates the cozy holiday experience through scent. It is set to be the perfect symmetry of forest freshness and warm winter spice accords, comprising notes of Cardamom, Snowdrops, and White Moss. The olfactory poetry also arrives in a home candle format that makes a beautiful addition to any collection. Another scent to spritz on is the brand’s Midnight Musk & Amber, which renders an enticing sensual fragrance you’d love to wear even at home.
