Removing the Post-Holiday Stress from Your Skin

Whew. The holidays are over. For many, they were a joyous time full of friends, family, food and maybe even a little vacation time. But for just as many, the holidays may have brought a good degree of Cultural Stress™ along with them. Busy schedules, holiday crowds, budgets and finance, travel, weather and even some end-of-year reflection can increase your stress level. Without a doubt, stress shows on your skin. So what lifestyle and skin care regimen adjustments should you make now that the holidays are over and you can make a fresh start in the New Year? Here are a few ideas from Murad.

Make a Point to Make Time for YOU in January

The first thing that you need to be sure to do now that the New Year is here is to take some time to unwind without any other stresses. How do you do this? Well, it’s really up to you. It may be as simple as a day on the couch in front of the television. Or it may mean a trip to the spa or creating a home spa environment for the day. Maybe it’s a little vacation or just a hot cup of tea in a quiet room one night. However you do it, make sure that you make a point of finding time to relax and unwind in January.

Customer Review

“I started using this mask a few years ago and everytime I have the same reaction–Amazing! I love the way it makes my face feel, so refreshed and clean. It clears away the small blackheads around my nose as well. I highly recommend giving this product a try, you won’t be sorry!” all4murad, New York

Rehydrate Your Skin

There are many healthy habits that fall by the wayside in the holiday months – diet, environmental awareness, budgets, stress management. But a healthy habit that’s often overlooked falls away during the holiday months is proper hydration. We’re all busier and taking less care of ourselves during the holidays, and that means that we may not be as responsible about staying properly hydrated. Unfortunately, one of the first places that a lack of proper hydration may show is on your skin, especially if your skin is starting to show the signs of aging. Healthy and firm skin is properly hydrated skin, and proper hydration starts from the inside out. Make sure you start the new year eating your water in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables. It will improve your skin … and your body!

Recommended Product: Murad Hydro-Dynamic® Ultimate Moisture

You’ll want to rehydrate your skin topically as well as internally. If your skin has become particularly dry during the holiday season, turn to Murad’s richest, award-winning moisturizer to restore hydration.

Customer Review

“I LOVE this cream! It is super thick without being greasy. I am acne prone and can wear this cream without worry. It does not make me break out and soothes my dehydrated skin from acne products. I wear in the evening when I want more moisture without an SPF.” Lolita78, North Carolina

Consider a Peel

Finally, if your skin looks less-than-radiant after the holidays, remember that there are healthier skin cells beneath the skin’s top layer. You can restore your skin’s luster and glow by accelerating the cell turnover so that those healthier skin cells make it to the surface of the skin and replace the dull and dry skin cells that are currently there. While a spa facial peel is one option, there are also a number of AHA and BHA home facial peels that can give you the same result.

Recommended Product: Murad Intensive-C® Radiance Peel

Using Glycolic Acid and the antioxidant power of Vitamin C, this home peel from Murad exposes brighter, healthier skin.

Customer Review

“I tried this for the first time last week and the next day I received so many compliments on how great my skin looked. this has been officially added to my regimen twice a week. The peel feels so good when its on my skin. I have oily skin and it didnt break me out, dry my skin out or make it more oily” jusjess, California

The holidays are over, and there are no more “I’m busy!” excuses. Now is the time. Help your skin recover from holiday stress and then adopt healthy skin care practices all year long.
