Holiday Skin Health Survival by Dermatologists

Your Holiday Skin Health Survival Guide

The holiday season has arrived. So have the parties, shopping, family gatherings and the office cookie exchange. It’s a wonderful time of year, but the stress, rich foods and long days can take their toll on your skin. With a little help from the experts at Forefront Dermatology and their Holiday Skin Health Survival Guide, you can keep your skin glowing all season long.

Survival Guide for Healthful Holiday Skin

• Combat dry winter skin with an oil-based moisturizer

• Limit the alcohol: enjoy your favorite bubbly then switch to water

• Keep your skin clean: remove all your makeup before going to bed

• Get a good night’s sleep: target 8 hours a night

• Make healthy food choices, limiting the cookies and holiday desserts

• Practice relaxation: the holidays can be stressful, which can exacerbate psoriasis, acne and other chronic skin conditions

• Treat yourself to a professional facial before attending that big holiday event

• Stay hydrated: drinking plenty of water keeps you healthy from the inside out

• Stick to your exercise routine: it helps with stress and working off those extra holiday calories

• If you’re a smoker, make a New Year’s resolution to quit; in fact, why wait: quit now!

• Help prevent acne flare-ups by maintaining your daily skin care routine

• Keep hand cream and lip balm in your purse or pocket, and use it often

• Don’t forget your feet: moisturize nightly and be ready for those fun holiday shoes

• Exfoliate once a week to keep that head-to-toe healthy glow
