Holiday Skincare Guide: Maintain Clear, Smooth Skin All Season Long
The holidays are here, full of family photos, parties, and a whole lot of sparkle. But between chilly Kerrville weather, late nights, and extra stress, your skin might be feeling less than merry. If you want to keep your complexion glowing through all the festivities, it’s time to focus on a winter skincare routine that keeps things balanced, hydrated, and radiant.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Cold air outside and indoor heating can strip your skin of moisture. The result? Dullness, flaking, and tightness.
Pro tip: Layer your hydration, use a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum, and a rich moisturizer. Drink plenty of water, and don’t forget a humidifier to bring moisture back into the air.
At O Young MD, our Hydrafacial is a patient favorite during the winter months. It cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses hydration for instantly plump, dewy skin.
2. Keep Your Skincare Routine Simple (But Consistent)
When your calendar is packed, a complicated skincare routine just isn’t realistic. Stick to the basics:
Cleanser
Serum
Moisturizer
SPF (yes, even in winter!)
For glowing skin, we love ZO Skin Health products, available right here at O Young MD. They’re medical-grade formulas designed to repair and protect your skin barrier all season long.
3. Treat Yourself to a Skin Reset
Between makeup, stress, and holiday treats, your skin might need a professional pick-me-up.
Chemical Peel: Removes dull, dead cells for a smoother finish.
MicroPen EVO: Stimulates collagen for firmer, fresher skin.
Laser Treatments: Perfect for tackling uneven tone or unwanted hair before the new year.
These treatments are especially great in the colder months since you’re getting less sun exposure, a major plus for recovery and results.
4. Destress for Your Skin’s Sake
Holiday stress can trigger breakouts and inflammation. Take a little time for yourself, whether that’s a facial, a walk, or a cozy night in. Your skin will thank you.
5. Plan Ahead for Holiday Events
If you have family photos or parties coming up, plan your skincare treatments at least a week in advance. A Hydrafacial or gentle peel can give your complexion that healthy glow without downtime.
