Let’s be honest: the holidays are magical… but also chaotic. Between cold weather, endless parties, family gatherings, late nights, travel, and zero routines, your skin ends up looking like your holiday to-do list: stressed, exhausted, and all over the place.
But glowing skin during the holidays is possible. You just need a plan, a simple one.
Here’s your Holiday Skin Survival Guide, dermatologist-inspired and realistic for real-life Holiday madness.
The 5 Biggest Holiday Skin Villains
-
Cold Weather & Dry Air
- Heaters + low humidity = instant moisture loss.
-
Stress
- Holiday pressure spikes cortisol, causing breakouts, inflammation, and dullness.
-
Travel
- Planes, hotels, temperature changes = dehydrated, irritated skin.
-
Late Nights & Parties
- Alcohol, sugar, makeup, and lack of sleep = puffy eyes & tired skin.
-
