Glow Up Before Christmas. Start With These 4 Tips!

Get Holiday-Ready FAST!

 Carolers are singing, cookies are in the oven, and everyone is ready to celebrate the happiest time of the year. Only that isn't always the case.

In fact, 88% of people say the holidays are the most stressful time of the year. (1)

And with parties to run to, gifts to buy, and family and friends to see, it's no wonder that sometimes we forget to treat ourselves.

But not to worry, because we've assembled the four best beauty tips that'll have you looking like the greatest present of all this holiday season.

So let's dive into this Christmas-themed blog that'll have you LOOKING and FEELING your very best this Christmas.

 

YOUR HAIR

 

This Christmas is different than last years. And that's because virtual Christmases are in decline by about a third, and Christmas parties are on the rise. And with parties come a major question: what to do with your hair. (2)

 

Winter parties are tough on your hair because Christmas is smack dab in the middle of a cold and dry season that can absolutely ruin your holiday style.

More specifically, winter causes your hair to become frizzy, your split ends to worsen, and your scalp to become itchy and dry. As a result, your Christmas style becomes hard to maintain. (3)

 

FUN FACT: Moisturizing your hair before styling gives you better control over your glamorous look! Check out our Hair Collection to boost hair growth, nourish your scalp, and keep you protected from winter dryness! (4)

 

With constant exposure to the environment, coupled with those midnight strolls past sugar plums and peppermint bark, your hair will begin to break. (5)

And hair breakage is no gift from Santa. Hair breakage is when the little connectors that keep your hair follicles together break apart, leaving you dry, frizzy, and unable to maintain your style. (6)

Keeping your scalp hydrated will give you the magic dust your follicles need to grow, and will help you unwrap your best look wherever you choose to go this Christmas! (7) 

 

YOUR TONER

 

Everyone knows the importance of washing your face with an ALL-NATURAL FACE WASH, but don't let the craziness of the holidays cause you to forget the toner.

Toner is the perfect tool in your Christmas toolkit as you wrap (AND UNWRAP) gifts, then snuggle up by the fire at night. That's because toner removes the leftover dirt, oil, and makeup you accumulate throughout the day. (8)

 

Toner is especially important during Christmas, when your face encounters pollutants, indoor heating, and environmental particles that can cause acne, irritation, and inflammation. (9)

 

FUN FACT: Acne-prone skin? The right Natural Toner returns your skin to its natural pH level, preventing breakouts and inflammation before it begins. Check out our Facial Care Collection for more feel-good and look-good essentials. (10)

 

Toner also gives you a leg up on everyone else at your office Christmas party. That's because toner sets you up for the rest of your skincare routine.

Follow up your toner with an ALL-NATURAL MOISTURIZER, and you'll be shining brighter than Rudolph's nose (in a good way)! (11)

And if you're already suffering with a little bit of acne or inflammation, toner will help you too. Facial toner shrinks pores and keeps bacteria from turning your little pimple into a full-fledged breakout. (12)

 

And that's not all. Toners also function as an emergency moisturizer or drying agent, depending on what your skin needs, making it a perfect Christmas gift for you and your skin. (13)

 

 

By the time the gingerbread cookies are served, the hot chocolate is made, and the egg nog starts flying, you realize something terrible: your sweaty face has built up a layer of oil that just won't come off. And what's worse is tomorrow night is Christmas. So what do you do?

 

YOUR EXFOLIANT

 

Exfoliating unclogs your pores and cleans off all the excess sebum (oil) you produce after your Christmastime sugar binge takes effect. (14)

And that binge can cause some real problems to your face. That's because sugary foods and drinks play a role in your hormone production, releasing androgens and insulin, both of which are known to inflame acne. (15)

 

FUN FACT: You lose 500 million skin cells each day. Check out our Clay Collections to push your body's natural turnover, and help keep you looking radiant all winter long! (16)

 

Your skin doesn't know it's Christmas, but it gifts you with new skin cells every 30 days or so. But sometimes the old cells linger around like Grandpa near the cookie tray.

The best way to remove these old skin cells is by exfoliating, which will allow your body's natural shine to glow. (17)

 

An ALL-NATURAL EXFOLIATING SCRUB will also smooth your skin's natural texture, iron out wrinkles, and make you look younger - perfect as a quick trick to impress your family, friends, co-workers, and the man with the bag this Christmas day. (18)

 

SMELL YOUR BEST

 

With gifts being exchanged, Christmas tunes playing, and reindeer flying around the world, it can become easy to become distracted over Christmas.

But the star of the show - and the greatest gift of all - is YOU. To steal the show, you need to smell great. And to smell great, you need to have an ALL-NATURAL DEODORANT.

ALL-NATURAL DEODORANT kills the bacteria that causes body odor, while also providing you with an ALL-NATURAL SCENT, if you so choose. (19)

 

And the apocrine glands on your armpits will thank you for this. Deodorant whisks away the sweat from these glands, giving you a clean and fresh armpit for whatever your Christmas tradition is. (2)

 

FUN FACT: Over-the-counter deodorants contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness, and worse. Check out our Natural Deodorants, and smell your best today! (21)

 

The great thing about ALL-NATURAL DEODORANT is that it still allows your body to sweat. And this is important because sweating allows your body to regulate its own temperature, much like an oven does with grandma's cookies. (22)

Natural deodorants also don't have dangerous chemicals like aluminum, which can cause dangerous health problems down the line, including breast cancer. (23)

Studies are also showing that deodorant can cause you to produce less odor-causing bacteria down the line, so by wearing ALL-NATURAL DEODORANT, you can be sure that next year you'll be on the nice list. (24)
