The holiday season is almost here, which means you’ll be seeing plenty of family and friends, most of whom haven’t seen you since last Christmas, Easter, or New Year’s Eve. In the middle of cold weather and busy days, having clear skin can be difficult – especially if you don’t have any special products or extra time in your day to take care of yourself. These facial treatments will help your face look its best all the way up until January 1st!
Facial Scrubs and Rejuvenating
The holiday season can take a toll on your skin, but it doesn’t have to. Facial scrubs and rejuvenating treatments will leave your skin feeling refreshed and ready for the holiday parties. If you are planning on attending any events, you should schedule these treatments two weeks before the event date. For instance, if you’re going to be going out for New Year’s Eve, then schedule this treatment about two weeks in advance. The best part about this treatment is that you don’t need any downtime; however, if you are prone to breakouts or redness from vigorous scrubbing, then this might not be the best idea. So plan accordingly and consult with a professional!
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel can be used as a skin rejuvenating treatment or as part of a microdermabrasion treatment. It is typically applied once a week for up to four weeks, but it’s also possible for the procedure to last up to six weeks. The more often you have the peel, the more dramatic the results will be. Following your peel, you’ll want to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen when spending time outside.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion can be used as a stand alone treatment, or in conjunction with other skin treatments, such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and injectable fillers. Its most popular use is to remove the outer layer of dead cells on the surface of the skin, revealing new fresher cells beneath and giving you that radiant glow. Microdermabrasion can also help reduce acne by opening up clogged pores and eliminating blackheads.
