Tips for Having a Healthy Glow for the Holidays

EDGE READ TIME: 4 MIN.

It's hard to believe, but the holiday season is just around the corner. The holidays are a time when we gather at parties, get-togethers and other fun festivals to visit with friends and loved ones often not seen for months, or sometimes even years! It is also the one time of the year when everyone wants their skin looking its best, because those holiday pictures go on to last for many years to come! Yet with the change in season, people tend to find their skin looking dull. The good news is that there are many simple and easy solutions to help get back and keep a healthy glow through the holiday season.

"Seasons change, and as a result the air changes, but most people continue with the same skin care regimen throughout the entire year," explains Tracy Brennan, founder of Kalologie, a chain of high-end spas and line of award-winning skin care products. "The changing of the seasons means it's time to change what you are doing to your skin, too. Out with the old routines and in with the new regimens that are going to be designed to keep your skin healthy all fall and winter long."

In an effort to not be trapped by the same routine that was followed all summer long, Brentwood Kalologie 360 Spa Franchise Owner Anita Neumann recommends keeping the following tips in mind to have a healthy glow for the holidays:

  • Make a transition into new skin care products. Opt for ones that have been designed to help skin have a healthy glow. The Kalologie line of award-winning skin care products, for example, have been scientifically formulated to keep skin looking healthy, vibrant, and glowing.

  • Check the ingredients in the products being used on the skin. Some ingredients are potentially harmful, and can can irritate the skin. For example, avoid formulations containing parabens and sulfates. Opt instead for products with effective ingredients that are formulated without harmful petrochemicals.

  • Visit the spa and get a facial. Work with a skin care specialist to determine the best facial for the skin type, but opt for one that is going to brighten and give an instant glow. While there, consider other helpful treatments that can help correct problems and advance skin health, such as the Dermapen and liquid facelifts available at Kalologie 360 Spas.

  • Most people feel stressed out during the holiday season, which can have an impact on the skin. Opt for a massage to help eliminate the stress and bring about a more relaxing holiday season. People will see the difference in the skin and face.

  • Eating well is one of the best preventative measures that people can employ to help protect their skin and maintain a healthy glow. Opt for lots of antioxidant-rich foods, such as carrots, spinach, strawberries, blueberries, and sweet potatoes.

  • Avoid doing damaging things to the skin, such as using harmful tanning beds. Those who want a healthy tanning option throughout the winter should consider organic spray tan options, which work well, but avoid the harmful chemicals and UV rays.

    "When it's colder you reach for a jacket, but you should also be reaching for skin care products that will help protect your skin during this weather," added Brennan. "Everyone can have a nice, healthy glow for the holidays if they want to. Giving a spa gift also makes for a great holiday treat. And even though it's colder, don't forget to continue to reach for sunscreen. It's one of the best ways to help prevent future potential skin care issues."
