If I would have to narrow it down to just two essential steps for maintaining healthy skin during the stressful holiday season, they would be:

1| HYDRATE (Internally and Externally)

Stress, lack of sleep, and climate changes (cold air and indoor heating) can all contribute to dehydrated skin. Keeping your skin well-hydrated helps it to stay plump, calm, and resilient to irritation. Hydrating from the inside by drinking plenty of water, herbal teas, water rich foods, electrolytes. It's a challenge to find a good quality electrolytes drink without sugar and without added sugar. While ago I found exceptional brand at my favorite acupuncture place here in Lake Tahoe and I'm sticking with it. No sugar and without synthetics! LINK HERE

Hydrating from the outside by using highly hydrating and nourishing skincare products, is A MUST! From our Natura Culina skincare line, I highly recommend these winter skincare warriors:

Chamomile Face Oil 

Squalane Serum

Rose Glow AM|PM Hydration Cream

2| WASH YOUR FACE BEFORE BED

It is absolute key to go to sleep with clean face. If your skincare routine is out of balance during the holiday madness (and I wouldn't be surprised) if you could do only ONE thing before bed, wash your face!!

From our Natura Culina I recommend:

Liquid Gold Cleansing Duo you can find one that suits your skin if it is dry or oily, mature or with breakouts or simply maintaining a healthy skin.

With all the chaos and endless skincare tips flooding social media, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. I hope this share will bring little ease into your daily structure remembering and putting these two key habits into play when necessary.

Wishing you Happy Holidays!
