6 Tips to Get Your Glowing Holiday Skin

The holidays are a time for fun, and family bonding but… letting your skincare routine slide?

From exchanging Christmas presents to attending festive or countdown parties, the end-of-year season is crammed with events that can quickly take a toll on your skin. Some of us are also making use of the public holidays to travel, and would not want our skin to break out in the new climate.

Skincare routines can often go out the window in holiday seasons, especially if you’re travelling - after all, who has time for a 10-step regime when there's so much to see and do? However, it's worth taking a few minutes each day to give your skin a little TLC and keep it looking its best this holiday season.

Follow these 6-holiday skincare tips for that glowing holiday skin. Trust us, your future self will thank you!

Holiday Skincare Tip #1: Hydrate & Moisturise

If you want glowing holiday skin, it’s important to keep your skin hydrated and moisturised especially if you are travelling. No one wants to deal with dry, dull skin after a long journey on a flight. If you’re short on time, consider using a facial sheet mask or a quick 1-minute sheet mask like the Saborino Night Mask for an extra dose of hydration. These 5-in-1 masks are designed to be used as a toner, lotion, essence, cream & mask all in one.

Holiday Skincare Tip #2: SPF Is Your Bestie

Whether you are travelling or simply going out to town to admire the festive light-up and decoration, make sure to pack your sunscreen so you can protect your skin from harmful UV rays by reapplying your sunscreen every 2 hours. This is especially important if you're in a sunny or humid climate as UV rays can cause premature ageing.

Holiday Skincare Tip #3: Facial Sheet Masks

Skincare routines can be a pain – even more so during festive seasons when we are tired from staying up late at night after celebration parties. Instead of skipping your skincare routines on busy days, Saborino's All-in-One Facial Sheet Mask are a great alternative as they are quick and give your skin the moisture boost it needs. Just 1-minute is all you need to get hydrated, glowing skin.

Holiday Skincare Tip #4: Don’t Compromise Your Sleep

Festive seasons come with a packed schedule of parties, shopping, and family gatherings. Although it’s tempting to skimp on sleep to get everything done, doing so can seriously affect the skin. Night-time is when our skin cells regenerate. So when we don’t get enough sleep, those cells don’t have a chance to do their job. As a result, we’re more likely to see breakouts, dullness and dehydration.

Holiday Skincare Tip #5: Never Skip Cleansing

There's no denying that cleansing is an important part of any skincare routine. It helps to get rid of the dirt, pollution, and impurities that can build up on the skin over time. This is especially so if you put on make-up during the day as it can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. No matter what your skincare routine looks like, make sure you never skip cleansing or sleep with your makeup on!

Holiday Skincare Tip #6: Your Skin Is What You Eat.

Anyone who's ever had a big night out followed by an unfortunate breakout the next day knows what affects your skin. And it's not just greasy food or alcohol that can lead to puffiness, blemishes, and dull complexion—too much sodium can have the same effect. So how can you maintain glowing skin year-round? Be conscious of what you're eating and cut back on processed foods and sugary drinks.

In Conclusion

To help your skin look its best during the holidays (and all year round), make sure to follow a good skincare routine. This should include cleansing and moisturising every day and using a facial sheet mask once or twice a week. On busy days, you can also opt for an all-in-one 1 min morning mask to boost your skin a boost before heading out for the day. Following these simple tips will help you achieve glowing skin - no matter how busy your schedule gets.
