A great Christmas gift is one that lasts. Far better than a predictable item of clothing or an unimaginative gift card, a facial treatment is a wonderful gift that keeps on giving as the winter weather starts to take a serious toll on our skin.

The winter months present a whole host of challenges. From the harsh drying effects of central heating, to the colder winds that become more blustery and frequent, often people may find that their skin is more delicate during this time of year.

By ensuring that you take extra care of your skin during winter, you can help your skin’s natural glow to shine through. And if you’re stuck for a Christmas present, then the gift of a fortifying and enjoyable facial treatment may be the perfect treat for someone special!

Make winter less harsh

The blustering cold winds of winter can be awful for your skin in many ways. And as the humidity levels drop, your skin is likely to suffer from the lack of moisture in the air and experience dryness and flakiness more frequently as a result. This also makes skin more vulnerable to harsh winds.

For men and women of all ages and skin types, winter can cause damage to your skin and intensify any skin conditions you might already have. One of the best remedies for this is a facial treatment that identifies your skin’s needs and works with it to restore its natural balance.

 

Restore dehydrated skin

Winter is also a time where people turn up their heating to the max and take long hot showers and baths to relax after facing the cold during the day. While it’s hard to argue with the soothing and calming benefits of an indulgent hot shower or bath, if you don’t take special care, it can actually be quite damaging for your skin causing dehydration and dryness.

As well as humidifiers and using slightly stronger moisturisers that can help to combat these effects, one of the best ways to keep your skin hydrated during winter is to book in for a facial treatment from a beauty expert who understands the science behind good skin.

 

Help with your holiday habits

For many people, the holiday season comes hand in hand with some unfortunate bad habits. A time when comfort eating, lack of exercise and large, carb-heavy meals are plentiful, this all has an impact on your skin.

Of course, we’re not saying you should deny yourself your Christmas treats, but it is well worth remembering how certain foods such as sugary snacks, salty party foods and increased alcohol consumption could lead to more winter break-outs.

As well as keeping an eye on your overall diet and skin health, a great way to remedy the effects of your winter lifestyle is to undergo a rejuvenating facial treatment to balance out your skin’s oil levels and to detoxify your skin cells from unwanted toxins.
