Festive Skincare Prep: Your Guide to Glowing Skin

Festive Skincare Prep: Your Guide to Glowing Skin

Gift yourself skin that glows with health whether you’re hibernating, hosting, or hopping from party to party this season. We’ve got all you need to prepare your skin for a radiant December but if you’ve left it late (oops) and need an emergency red carpet skin rescue we’ve included our pro festive skincare hacks too. Choose both and you’ll feel brighter than the twinkling lights this December. 

  1. Exfoliation is where it all begins; unwrap that layer of dead skin dulling your canvas and get ready to receive the gift of glowing skin . . .

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) dissolve the bonds that keep dead skin cells attached for gradual improvement of cell turnover and natural exfoliation. Our AHA Renewal Serum and Bright & Clear Solution both offer gentle chemical exfoliation and can be used twice daily all year round (or whenever your skin pro prescribes for your exact skin needs).


Quick Festive Exfoliating Hack

If you haven’t been keeping up with regular exfoliation, you can still achieve new levels of skin glow with Enzymatic Peel, our lactic acid face mask. The closest you’ll get to an in-clinic peel at home, our 5-minute active peel utilises 10% lactic acid and fruit enzymes to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. The deeply refining formula works to visibly reduce fine lines and uneven skin tone, and no, it won’t dry your skin, sodium hyaluronate pulls in water to help plump and hydrate. Prefer a scrub AKA manual exfoliation? Make a date with MicroDerm Polish which uses biodegradable beads to slough off dead skin immediately for instant radiance.

 

  1. All about the eyes; been burning the candle at both ends throughout 2024? The delicate skin around the eyes might reveal every late night, but . . .

 

AluminEye®, our award-winning daily eye cream includes Eyeliss™ and Haloxyl™ and works to target all the tale-tale signs of late nights and shopping raves. Dark circles, puffiness, and lines no more! You’ll get an instant wow thanks to soft-focus reflectors and if you’ve been using AM and PM your cumulative results on the signs of ageing will be impressive.

 

Quick Festive Eye Hack

When you’ve got eye bags instead of bags of time, reach for our Eye Rescue Pads which gift a soothing surge of instant hydration to the under-eye area. The refreshing gel stick-ons reduce puffiness and the appearance of fine lines, help to even out skin tone, and reduce blotchiness. Take ten minutes to relax in your Eye Rescue Pads and combine with Aqua Infusion Mask for an all-over revitalising and hydrating skin boost. Hello glow!

 

  1. Skincare secret: Deep hydration is the foundation for glowing skin, so what’s top of our wish list this season?

 

Ultimate Boost Serum is the powerhouse serum that utilises different molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid to hydrate at multiple levels, plus peptides to plump and hydrate long term. Hydrated skin looks plump, radiant and feels smooth, conversely, dehydrated skin is dull, and lines show up much more easily. If you’ve been dedicated to Ultimate Boost Serum (like the whole team here at AlumierMD!) this year, it will show. Follow with HydraLight for featherlight moisture that’s comfortable even for oily skin thanks to a blend of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides.

 

Quick Festive Hydration Hack

Ten minutes wearing our  Aqua Infusion Mask is like an instant glass of water for dehydrated skin! A unique combination of low molecular weight hyaluronic and MP Moist 24 works to soak skin in nourishing moisture. It’s the perfect step for a night out, a night in and the morning after.

 

More Festive Skin Hacks

  • Never sleep with your makeup on, even after the office party! HydraBoost Cleanser breaks down makeup and can be removed with tissue or cotton wool meaning you can do it from bed – so there’s really no excuse!

  • Sunscreen is STILL IMPORTANT! Yes, even in December it’s essential to protect your skin from aggressors that lead to premature ageing. Clear Shield Broad-spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen and Sheer Hydration Broad-spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen (comes untinted and in a versatile tint) protect against pollution, blue light, Infrared, free-radicals and dehydration AND make excellent moisturisers. Hot tip – they’re brilliant pre-makeup as a primer too.
