SELF CARE TIPS TO MAINTAIN GLOWING SKIN DURING THE HOLIDAYS
As ribbons, wreaths, and poinsettias litter the stores around us, it is indicative that the holidays are fast approaching. From baking cookies and cakes, decorating Christmas trees, to wrapping gifts and setting tables, the holidays can be a source of joy but also extreme stress. Often in the wake of the holiday season we find ourselves absolutely worn-out and it shows even on our skin. And many would say they need a holiday from the holiday.
Although we cannot avoid the holidays, what we can avoid is the stress that comes with it. A good self-care regime is imperative for not only your physical health but also mental and emotional health. The right routine can leave us rejuvenated and able to tackle the festivities with vigour and enthusiasm.
Here are some tips to maintain an effective self-care regime to keep your skin glowing and leave you rejuvenated.
Break it down; Getting down to the minutia during the bustling holiday season can seem overwhelming, but there is power in making lists. To avoid getting frazzled, take time before the holidays begin and section every task in lists, it can be as simple as saying them into your phone and asking Siri to remind you to pick up those table center pieces after work and even to remind you to take off your make-up before bed. Ellie Bianca’s Naked oil removes make up effectively while hydrating your skin leaving it supple and fresh for the night.
Hydrate: Ensure that as you go out for your holiday shopping, you carry a bottle of water with you. Hydrating keeps your body fresh and helps maintain your body pressure as you power through your tasks.
Get Naked – After a long day of shopping and decorating nothing beats a warm relaxing bath with your favorite bath salts and essential oils. This not only pampers but also relaxes tense muscles. We recommend that you get naked with our Ellie Bianca Naked line which includes Bath Salts.
It is okay to say no – As the things to do pile up and responsibilities grow, don’t be afraid to step back and even say no whenever you feel like you are getting overwhelmed and stressed out. Take a back seat and prioritize your well-being. Something as simple as a massage can put you back on track for the holiday tasks. Soothe your skin with our lavender skin oil which relaxes the skin and has anti-inflammatory properties which will soothe irritations.
Wind down with a nice glass of your favorite bubbly. Are you a dry or a sweet wine kind of person? The holidays are a perfect time to discover and grow your palette.
Stay moisturized: A nice moisturizer will keep those frown lines at bay. We recommend that you try Ellie Bianca’s Frankincense and Myrrh skin oil which leaves the skin feeling supple, soft, and nourished. During the holiday season stress levels increase and consequently, compromising the immune system; however, frankincense has anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial properties that protect, uplift and grounds the body which is necessary during the holidays.
Remember self-care isn’t selfish; be kind to yourself and your skin will thank you.
