Holiday Beauty Tips for a Festive Glow and Inner Peace

During the holiday season, festive gatherings, family photos, and perhaps a few moments under the mistletoe make us want to look as bright and radiant as ever. But, after a long, stressful year, simply smoothing on a layer of vibrant lipstick might not do the trick. You need a beauty routine that fosters peace and wellness from within.

We’re here to help fill your holidays with joy and cheer with thoughtful holiday beauty tips. Keep reading for all the details.

Bring The Spa Home for the Holidays

Inner peace is the ultimate gift, not only for the holidays, but for the entire new year ahead. But, between work demands, family responsibilities, and other stressors, it can be difficult to find moments of tranquility in your day to day. Plus, with a packed schedule, that day pass at your local spa isn’t always attainable.

So, this holiday season, gift yourself and your loved ones natural items that bring the spa into your home. Our favorites nurture whole-body health while creating a calming, restorative atmosphere. Here are a few ideas:

• A non-toxic soy, beeswax, or coconut candle made with essential oils to burn during your self-care routine
• A luxurious bathrobe made of silk or plush cotton
• A genuine jade or rose gold face roller for a rejuvenating massage that promotes lymphatic drainage and glowing skin
• A personalized Treat and Nourish Set from Fleurissent, featuring aromatic French skincare to uplift your mood, nourish your skin, and strengthen the mind-skin connection

Bring these items together to create a relaxing, stress-free space in your home. Inhale the scent of your favorite essential oil or Fleurissent floral-infused skincare set, allowing the powerful aroma to melt away anxiety and promote a positive headspace. Then, go about your beauty routine, prioritizing natural products that lock hydration into the skin while addressing your specific skin concerns.

Holiday Skincare Tips

During the Christmas season, we’re faced with dropping temperatures, low humidity levels, and higher stress levels. These factors can compromise your healthy skin, leading to dryness, irritation, fine lines, and even breakouts.

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be this way. Follow these tips to adjust your skincare routine for the holidays, ensuring your complexion is as bright and supple as it is on your summer holiday.

• Opt for a gentle, foaming cleanser free of all potentially drying ingredients, including alcohol, parabens, and sulfates. Even if you have an oily skin type, it’s best to avoid drying cleansers, as they can disrupt the skin barrier and set the stage for irritation.
• Choose your exfoliants carefully. Using aggressive exfoliants (like high-dose retinol) or exfoliating too frequently can compromise the skin barrier, leading to redness, dryness, and blemishes. Fleurissent’s 2-in-1 Facial Mask & Exfoliator gently sloughs away any buildup of dead skin cells while antioxidant-rich French flowers deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. It’s an ideal choice to keep your skin smooth, calm, and exfoliated during the festive season.
• Follow up your exfoliant with a rich, hydrating facial lotion, like one of Fleurissent’s nutrient-dense, aromatic floral moisturizers. Choose from four varieties based on your skin type and wellness goals: Rose, Peony, Lavender, or Ylang-Ylang. All four are formulated with Fusion Florale 6™, a unique blend of flowers from Grasse in the South of France. This singular floral blend soothes your senses and transforms your skin with the power of natural antioxidants and 60 powerful botanicals.
• Don’t forget to use SPF! Amidst the sea of holiday beauty products, you may be tempted to skip sunscreen during the winter, especially on cold, cloudy days. But, your skin will still be affected by sun exposure in the winter, as the sun’s UV rays can reach you through the clouds (and even through windows).

Choose Peace and Serenity During the Holidays

During the festive season, we express gratitude for our many blessings, including our loved ones, good health, and prosperity. But, year-end pressures can also be stressful.

With the New Year approaching, resolve to prioritize your wellness from the inside out. Along with nourishing skincare and a home spa routine, try these tips to bring serenity to the holidays:

• Begin each day with a guided meditation to balance your mind and lead with tranquility.
• Prioritize nutrition by reaching for healthy, nourishing food whenever you can. But, don’t forget to treat yourself, too (in moderation).
• Start a gratitude journal to express all that you’re thankful for. Gratitude is a key tool for mental wellness.
• Spend time outdoors when the weather allows. Nature is a revitalizing gift that can melt away stress in a moment.
