Don’t wait for the last moment. Your skin is just as important as your outfit. If you want to be the best version of yourself, this is the time to invest in your skin care.
Follow these seven winter skincare and get picture perfect skin for a Christmas night look
-
Hydrate yourself
Hydration is key to get healthy, soft, and supple skin. You need to drink ample water (8 glasses at least). Before you kick start your day, have a glass of warm water with some lemon and honey. This morning drink will hydrate your body after 6 to 8 hours of sleep and cleanse your organs.
-
Moisturize your face 24/7
With hydration you also need to moisturize your face deeply. Moisturizing your face is not a new tip but it is worth repeating. Buy good moisturizers according to your skin type. Their job is to retain the skin’s moisture and creates a barrier so that it doesn’t evaporate.
-
Exfoliate more often
Exfoliation is an important skin care strategy that helps you replenish skin. In cold season, skin cells dehydrate and die fast. These dead cells accumulate at the surface. With regular exfoliation you can buff away the dead skin cells on the upper surface.
Running low on beauty products?
Create your own Custom Facial Cream with natural ingredients and use it several times a week. Here is the recipe of one of the best homemade scrubs that suit almost every skin.
You need equal quantities baking soda, honey, and coconut oil. While lemon and baking soda works as an exfoliator, coconut oil keeps skin nourished and provides smoothness. Gently massage your skin for two to five minutes and wash off with warm cloth.
-
Use lip balms generously
Want a smooth lipstick application?
Start using good quality lip balms and get rid of dry chapped lips on party nights. A pro tip is to apply lip balm underneath your lipstick because long-wear lipsticks can dry out your lips. Lip balms are your best friend these winters.
-
Give yourself an eye massage
All the upcoming Christmas night dinners and parties are bound to make your eyes look tired and sleepy. To make sure that you look glamorous and alert over the holidays, start giving your eyes a gentle eye massage every night before going to bed.
Start from the inner corner of your eyes and work your way up, rub between your brow bone and eye and go until you reach the other corner of the eye.
-
Add a facial serum in your beauty regimen
You need to add a good serum into your skin care routine. Facial serums are highly concentrated elixirs of certain natural ingredients. They can do wonders to your skin but only if you choose the right facial serum according to your skin type.
A facial serum based on antioxidants will protect against sun damage. If you’re new into Custom Beauty Products then try one with antioxidants.
The two most common antioxidants are vitamin E and vitamin C that boost firmness and skin texture.

Apply facemasks for extra glow
Wanting glowing plump skin on Christmas evening is everyone’s dream but cold weather can take away your natural moisture.
How to save your skin from dry and harsh weather?
Apply face masks. Your skin needs extra nourishing in winter no matter which skin type you have. These are the top two DIY facemasks your skin needs in winters.
Honey mask: you need 1tbsp each of honey, lemon, and rosewater.
Banana face pack: you need half banana, 1tbsp yogurt, honey, and turmeric (optional).
I personally love the banana mask also known as the Botox mask inspired by Huda Beauty.
Key takeaway
2020 was a hard year for everyone but don’t let your Christmas spirit die. Start preparing your skin for that time of the year where you get a chance to share love and precious moments with your loved ones.
