The holiday season brings festive joy, but for many, it also brings more sun exposure and increased alcohol consumption, leaving your skin feeling dehydrated, congested, or irritated.
The good news? Preparing your skin ahead of time is the key to glowing, healthy skin throughout the festive season. While laser treatments, peels, and RF Microneedling can do wonders, your skincare routine is just as important in maintaining a fresh, dewy complexion. By putting in the groundwork now (no, not the night before!), you’ll save yourself unnecessary stress and be ready to enjoy your holidays with skin that looks and feels amazing.
How to achieve beautiful summer skin this Christmas
1. Sun protection is non-negotiable
With summer in full swing, sun protection should be your first priority. The harsh UV rays cause sunburn, accelerating skin aging and increasing the risk of skin damage.
Make sure you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+ every day and don’t forget areas like your neck, arms, and legs. Reapply every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.
Dr. Watson recommends Aspect Sun 50+ Hydrating Face for daily wear under makeup and Aspect Envirostat 50+ for those active days by the pool or at the beach.
2. Hydration is your best friend
Hot weather can quickly dehydrate your skin, making it look dull and tired. The secret? Hydrate—inside and out! Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin plump and glowing, and for every alcoholic beverage, make sure to drink a glass of water to counteract dehydration.
On the outside, opt for a lightweight, water-based moisturiser that won’t feel heavy in the heat but will keep your skin nourished. Hyaluronic acid is a great ingredient to look for, as it draws moisture into the skin without clogging pores.
Dr. Watson recommends Aspect Dr Hydra Shield, a fantastic hydrating option that locks in moisture while leaving your skin soft and refreshed.
3. Switch to lightweight skincare
Heavy creams and oil-based products can feel too greasy when temperatures rise and may even clog your pores. Instead, switch to lighter, gel-based or water-based skincare products that allow your skin to breathe. Keep your routine simple to avoid layering too many products, which can lead to congestion and discomfort.
You often need a gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, and sunscreen for healthy, glowing skin. Dr. Watson swears by Aspect Dr Skincare, particularly the AHA/BHA Cleanser and Multi B Plus Serum which work wonders in balancing and refining summer skin.
