Refresh Your Complexion This Holiday Season
Is tired skin a common part of your holiday routine? Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be. With a few simple adjustments, you can help your skin feel refreshed and glowing, even during the busiest season.
Althaea Skin’s own Dr. Ava Shamban says, “The holidays play havoc with the skin. Too little sleep, too much partying, too much food and too much family stress all take their toll, largely because they torpedo the body’s natural circadian rhythms. And when the body clock is off, it shows all over your face.”
Say Goodbye to Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles
Many features of tired skin – fine lines and wrinkles, uneven pigment, slack texture, dehydration – echo the signs of aging. In fact, being tired can make all these look worse. But there’s one sign of exhaustion that shows up no matter how old you are says Dr. Shamban, “Even little kids can have puffy eyes and dark circles if they haven’t slept enough.”
“I designed Awake Eye Gel to use in the morning,” concludes Dr. Shamban. “But if you’re on your way to a night out and want to apply it again an hour before you leave home, that’s fine too. It’s even fine if you want to use it twice a day.”
Achieve a Healthy Glow with These Two-Steps
Dullness or ashiness are common features of tired skin. But it’s going to take a two-step process to polish it up. First comes deep cleansing, then comes consistent use of Althaea Skin Day Serum and Althaea Skin Night Serum.
Dr. Shamban explains, “Dead skin cells, flaky skin, oil, dirt, makeup and pollution all build up and create a barrier against anything good you apply to your skin. Just splashing on water over a little cleanser isn’t enough. You’ll want to get into every corner and use a washcloth or light scrub if you need to. In other words, treatment products without very thorough cleansing first to clear this sludge away is like trying to wax a car without washing it first.”
Once skin is clean and pristine, then topical Althaea Skin products can absorb and get to work on replenishment, resilience and radiance.
Combat Skin Slackness and Restore Firmness
Slackness is another manifestation of tired skin. Here’s where Althaea Skin’s multi-modal facial tool combines with the ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid-rich Activation Mask to help smooth out rough texture, oomph up elasticity and plump up the surface.
Dr. Shamban explains, “We engineered this amazing device to house THREE advanced technologies in a single, lightweight, handheld unit.”
These include modalities are:
- Both red and blue LED light: Red LED light stimulates collagen production and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother, more youthful skin. Blue LED light targets acne-causing bacteria, helping to prevent breakouts and calm inflammation.
- Radio frequency: Radio frequency (RF) uses energy to gently heat the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging and promoting a smoother, more lifted look.
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): EMS uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles, mimicking the effects of exercise. This helps tone and lift the skin by improving muscle strength and firmness, while also enhancing circulation for a more youthful and revitalized appearance
Combined these help improve fine lines and wrinkles while helping reduce inflammation.
Boost Hydration and Radiance for the New Year
Dr. Shamban concludes, “It’s the holidays, I get it. I can’t tell you to avoid drinking alcohol nor staying away from sugar or salt. But I can ask you to increase your water intake these next few weeks if you can manage it. This will help flush out whatever toxins you’ve been enjoying, regulate oil production and reduce puffiness from the inside. Make this a habit and I can’t think of a better way to start a healthier and glowing New Year.”
In addition to staying hydrated, incorporating Althaea Skin into your daily skincare routine can enhance your results. Whether you choose a single product like the Althaea Skin Day Serum to maintain hydration and radiance, or opt for the powerful combination of the C.A.R.A. tool and Activation Mask, these treatments work synergistically to rejuvenate your skin and address holiday stressors.
No matter how busy your holiday season gets, these products can help you keep your skin looking its best.
