One of the most anticipated parts of the holidays season is getting glammed up in your cutest looks for all of the seasonal and holiday parties, gatherings, and festivities. What we don’t look forward to is treating or trying to conceal problem skin on the face and body. This time of year always has the biggest effect on your skin. Filling your social calendar with endless parties, celebrations, gatherings, and events means showing up looking and feeling your best all through the season. The hustle and bustle of a busy social calendar means added stress, lack of sleep, indulgence in greasy and fatty foods, exposure to dry air, and not to mention the constant surprises of unwanted hair growing on the face and body in the worst possible times. It’s enough to turn you into a grinch.
The truth is, nobody wants to spend all season hiding from the camera or fighting with clogged pores, chapped, dry, flaky skin, acne, or unsightly hair growing all over. The best way to make your seasonal days merry and bright is to care for your skin with a consistent routine that leaves you looking and feeling your best at all times. Clear, smooth, beautiful skin during the holiday season is absolutely attainable. Here are some of our best tips to keep your skin soft and glowing for all those holiday photos and visits under the mistletoe this season.
Pre-schedule your wax appointments
For picture and party-perfect skin at any moment’s notice, consider advance scheduling your winter wax sessions. By pre-scheduling your visits to Depil Brazil, you can guarantee that you will maintain beautiful, smooth, glowing skin all season long. Skip the stress and eliminate the worry of wayward hair popping up and stealing the spotlight on your seasonal looks. Keeping a consistent waxing schedule is also essential to making sure your skin stays healthy, hydrated, clean, and smooth. With regular waxing, you are doing your skin justice in the long run because waxing weakens the hair follicle, causing hair to grow back slower, lighter, and thinner over time.
Scheduling at least your next three appointments in advance keeps you reaping the benefits of beautiful skin. Waiting until you see stubble or feel your hair growing back can easily lead to missed appointments, conflicting scheduling, and ultimately neglecting a skincare regimen that you worked hard to keep up in the spring and summer. By the time summer rolls around again, you could lose all of the progress that you’ve made. Hair grows in different stages, and constant waxing keeps it from reaching the latter stages when it is thicker and stronger.
Unwanted stubble can make us feel embarrassed and insecure, and having to stay covered up during winter because we are trying to hide our stubborn hairs can be frustrating. Smooth, stubble-free skin gives us a boost of confidence and helps us feel more comfortable. The cold and dry weather conditions in the winter can damage our skin by causing tightness and dryness. The experienced Wax Pros at Depil Brazil can keep your skin smooth and moisturized all season long. By booking in advance you get reminders about your upcoming appointments, so all you have to do is show up and enjoy the smooth, gorgeous results. It’s a total win, win!
Exfoliate and moisturize – a lot
Along with keeping your waxes fresh, if you want to maintain holiday-ready skin, you’ll need to use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells that have accumulated from dry winter air, leaving the skin looking brighter and helping your post-cleaning moisturizer absorb better for a smooth, healthy-looking finish. When choosing the right exfoliation product, you want to be sure to avoid sugscrubs that can only be used once a week. Choose a finely-granulated scrub or gel – like the Arpoador Gel Exfoliant, or a gentle scrub like the Grumari Body Exfoliant, or the Macumba Salt Scrub, and exfoliate three times a week for the smoothest and brightest effect. Our smooth skin polishing body scrub is gentle enough to use daily, after your bath or shower. Our skincare treats are designed to boost circulation and remove dead skin cells while providing for deep hydration. Exfoliation should be a daily part of your skincare routine, particularly during the dry winter months, and can help you keep your glow going for all of those holiday selfies.
Overindulging in the holidays can suck the moisture right out of your skin, reveal radiant, bright, glowing skin by exfoliating and moisturizing daily. Add a hydrating cleanser like Joatinga Gentle Cleanser to your daily routine to purify, tighten and brighten your skin. The Joatinga cleanser is gentle enough for use as a makeup remover and works as a natural healing anti-inflammatory and astringent. The cold, dry winter air can quickly dry out our skin, so it’s important that we are on our moisturizer-game throughout. Keeping up with a full skincare regimen ensures that your skin is nourished and feeling at its best.
Switch up your routine to match the season
Winter is the perfect time to revamp your style, but when you’re switching out your sundresses for chunky sweaters, don’t forget to switch up your makeup and skincare routine as well. Just like the changing wardrobes of the season, different temps require different approaches to your skincare regime. All products have their place, but not many of those products should be used year-round. Those lightweight moisturizers and foam cleansers that worked great for your skin in July or even September might not make the skin clear in December.
Colder weather can wreak havoc on the skin, with redness, dehydration and dry patches all common ailments come winter. As colder temperatures approach, dry air, frigid winds, and constant exposure to indoor heaters suck the moisture from your skin and strip it of oils essential for healthy skin barrier function. Guarantee glowing skin in the gloomier months by making these simple swaps in your skincare routine. Start by taking a look at how your skin changes with the winter elements and adjust or switch out the products accordingly. Use more gentle cleansers, like Joatinga Gentle Cleanser, and to keep your skin clearer and smoother by using the Leblon Slow Grow Lotion, and the Leme Slow Grow Wash duo along with the Ipanema Ingrown Hair Serum. Consistent care and attention to your daily routine can do well to keep your skin happy and hydrated while keeping dry, flaky skin at bay.
Hydration is your best friend
Hydration is essential in general, but when it comes to your skin, especially in the dry seasons, hydration is paramount. Not only is winter dry, but there tend to be a lot more get-togethers, social outings, and parties – which means you may also be consuming more caffeine and alcohol. A dehydrated body shows up on the face and body, making your skin appear duller, darker, and flaky. One great benefit of waxing is that it removes any debris or dryness on the skin’s surface, leaving behind hydrated and moisturized skin. Throughout the season be sure to stay hydrated everyday, whether it’s topically with creams, lotions, and exfoliator, or ingested through fruit, and water consumption.
If the holiday season has your skin freaking out, or if you are struggling with dull, dry, problem skin due to the winter weather, our trained and experienced Wax Pros at Depil Brazil can help you achieve skin nourishment and a healthy glow. By taking these tips into account, and continuing to regularly wax even in the winter, your skin can easily remain soft and smooth all year long.
