Six Skincare Products For Post-Holiday Recovery
By Victoria Prima
1. [Gentle] Clean Slate
Sloughing away dead skin feels even more necessary after a period of holiday exfoliation neglect. But don’t rush your skin with a hash abrasive scrub. Opt for a gentle dead skin peel to avoid unnecessary skin irritation.
MURAD Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel is a gentle, yet potent, daily bi-phase peel that rejuvenates the look of skin for a healthy dose of vibrant glow. The peel contains multi-benefit exfoliants blend (Glycolic, Lactic, and Malic Acids) that remove dull skin to smooth and improve the look of skin texture, brightness, and clarity over time. The peel is suitable for normal, dry, combination, and oily skin.
2. Tone and Tighten
KATE SOMERVILLE Tight’N™ Cryogenic Tightening Gel visibly tightens and firms the appearance of skin. Formulated with advanced tightening and firming ingredients, it features an innovative delivery system inspired by the science of cryogenics. When applied, the gel delivers a refreshing burst of cold temperature, followed by “crackling” sound and sensation. The cooling effect lasts several minutes. Glycoproteins—derived from mud found on King George Island in Antarctica—deliver cryoprotective properties to help protect skin from any sensitivity to the cold application, while also helping to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
3. Nourish
FRESH Crème Ancienne® Ultimate Nourishing Honey Mask is an intensely hydrating treatment made with pure honey that delivers six hours of nourishment while improving the look of elasticity. The honey helps deliver a moisture-preserving veil over the face without leaving a sticky residue. This honey mask formula is enriched with echinacea, a powerful antioxidant used for centuries to help skin recover from environmental stress. It’s also infused with seabuckthorn oil, which is rich in moisturizing omegas and protective antioxidants. The mask can be used morning or night, three to four times a week.
4. Moisturize
FRESH Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask is a next-level, two-step mask that delivers continuous hydration overnight. This sleeping mask gives you the appearance of plumper, smoother skin after as little as one night of use. Start by replenishing moisture with a cooling gel essence powered by rosewater, damask rose extract, and hyaluronic acid. Then lock it in with a silky water-cream mask that uses time-release technology.
5. Pay Special Attention to the Skin Around the Eyes.
GLAMGLOW BRIGHTEYES™ Illuminating Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream is a fast-absorbing cream that works on all skin tones to energize and brighten skin under and around the eyes. With linoleic acid, watermelon, apple, and narcissus extracts, it helps repair the delicate eye-area skin’s moisture barrier and prevent future signs of fatigue while gently erasing the look of fine lines and wrinkles in just four weeks.
6. Give It a Some Rest
TARTE BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen is a five-in-one long wear, vegan primer that can be used instead of foundation for smoother, brighter skin. This product hydrates, helps smooth fine lines, and works to correct dullness and enlarged pores. It provides lightweight, sheer coverage, while protecting your complexion with SPF 30. This formula also contains a triple-B complex to help brighten, smooth, and soften your skin.
