We’re on the cusp of the twilight zone between Christmas and New Year’s, when we’ve eaten too much and lost all sense of what date/time it is. But fast approaching is New Year’s Eve, and chances are this year it’s a social one! Aside from the mild panic that builds when you think about socialising again, the real question should be, is your skin at the top of its game?
This summer we’ve put together a simple guide on how to prep your skin for the festivities ahead.
1. Mask
Treat your skin to a little relaxation after the year that was. A clay mask not only helps to draw out holiday congestion, the inclusion of nourishing ingredients like Hemp Seed Oil help to hydrate and refresh the face. New year, new you + a complexion that glows!
2. Exfoliate
As we prepare to shed our 2021 selves, and embrace all the new year has to offer, its time to say goodbye to those dull 2021 skin cells. Think of your exfoliant as your new years resolutions ready to bring the promise of a new, refreshed you! Except in this case an exfoliant is easier to stick to! By lightly exfoliating 1-2 times a week, not only is the end result a much clearer complexion, but it also creates a deliciously smooth base for flawless makeup application on NYE!
3. Hydrate
Enjoying the holiday period can be a balm for the soul, eating great food, catching up with loved ones and spending time in the sun. But this time can also be dehydrating for your skin. In addition to drinking plenty of water, increase hydration by using a nourishing moisturiser to keep skin refreshed. If you’re feeling bold, add an oil beneath your moisturiser for an extra surge of hydration
We would love to see how you’re prepping your skin for NYE.
From the Andalou team to you, Happy New Year! May 2022 gift you with fierce, flawless skin!
