With the holiday season being all about joy and love, the last thing that you want to be doing is worrying about your skin. However, between the indulgent festive feasts, holiday-related stress, late nights, and seasonal weather changes, your skin is unlikely to be feeling as cheery as you are and may respond with dark circles, increased breakouts, flakiness, and more.
The good news is that you can avoid those common holiday skin woes by switching up your skincare routine a little. Read on as Introstem shares a few holiday skincare must-haves if you’re hoping to glow throughout the season.
The VitisCell Radiance Dark Circle Eye Cream
With all of those festive parties to attend, late nights often become the norm during the holiday season…and so do the associated dark circles. The lack of sleep reduces circulation, leaving the skin looking paler in a way that makes the blood vessels under your eyes show through in the form of shadows and dark circles.
While going to bed earlier would be the ideal solution, you don’t want to miss out on all of that festive fun either! This is why the Introstem VitisCell Radiance Dark Circle Eye Cream should be a firm part of your holiday skincare arsenal.
This eye cream is the ideal product for tired-looking eyes. It contains some of the best antioxidants around, including vitamin C, resveratrol, grape stem cells, and vitamin A. It also contains collagen amino acids, which will quickly smooth and brighten the look of your skin while allantoin will soothe and de-puff your appearance. It’s a great quick fix for when your eye area is in need of some TLC in the mornings!
The Aqua Face and Neck Cream
While festive get-togethers are warm and cozy, this tends to mean that artificial heating is being used. This quickly dries out the air, meaning that it’s often not long before the skin dries out too. The drier the air around you, the faster your skin will lose its moisture reserves to evaporation. If your skin is already on the dry side, then this can be disastrous for your complexion.
This is why a good moisturizer is another holiday skincare essential. To counter the feeling of dryness, you’ll need a thicker formula that will form a protective seal over your skin’s surface, helping to keep moisture locked in while conditioning and lubricating your skin. This is where the Introstem Aqua Face and Neck Cream comes in…
This exquisite moisturizer has been enriched with a number of ingredients that dry skin will love. From shea butter and jojoba seed oil to sweet almond oil and sodium hyaluronate, it will quickly have your skin feeling soft and silky. It’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants too, which will revive and brighten the look of your skin.
The ThermoStem Completion Cream
While a rich, oil-infused cream can be a game-changer for dry skin in the winter months, such formulas can cause problems for oily skin. Any creams containing comedogenic ingredients will only clog up your pores and contribute to breakouts. This doesn’t mean that you should skip moisturizing, however. The dry air will sap moisture away from your oily skin too, leaving it dehydrated. In the long run, this can stimulate your skin to produce even more oil overall.
The solution is to moisturize with a lightweight cream that isn’t going to weigh your skin down. This will add hydration and prevent moisture loss without exacerbating breakouts, making the Introstem ThermoStem Completion Cream another holiday skincare must-have.
This moisturizer is loved by those with oily and combination skin. It’s wonderfully hydrating and also contains some of the best antioxidant-rich ingredients around, including grape stem cells, grape seed extract, rose extract, and rosemary leaf extract. The best part? It has been formulated with a small amount of salicylic acid too. This beta-hydroxy acid will dive into your pores to keep them feeling clear and fresh, ensuring that they don’t end up clogged.
The String Lift Sculpting System
Want your skin to look radiant throughout the holiday season? In that case, hydration needs to be a key part of your holiday skincare routine. Ideally, this should be done in layers. The more that you can ‘sandwich’ hydration into your skin, the better the results that you’ll see.
How can you do this? By ensuring that each product in your holiday skincare routine offers at least a couple of hydrating ingredients. You should also aim for hydration to be the prime focus of one or two of the steps in your routine, which is where the String Lift Sculpting System can help.
This system consists of two products; the Golden Sculpting Serum and the Elastic Collagen Threads. The serum is sprayed onto the skin first. It contains six forms of hyaluronic acid – one of the most hydrating ingredients around – along with peptides and antioxidants. The threads, which are primarily made from collagen, are then laid onto the skin on areas of concern. The serum is then sprayed onto the face once again but, this time, on top of the threads. This causes the threads to dissolve, after which you then massage everything into your skin to encourage the absorption of all of those amazing ingredients.
The ThermoStem Mask
Have all of those festive meals left your skin looking dull and congested? This is extremely common. After all, those feasts aren’t usually very healthy! Instead, they tend to be full of refined sugars, fried snacks, processed meats, and dairy products. None of these are particularly good for your skin, which explains why your skin has responded in this way.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on all of that festive decadence! Instead, consider adding the Introstem ThermoStem Mask to your holiday skincare routine.
This mask is a winter must-have for a few reasons. Firstly, being a clay mask, it will quickly leave your skin feeling free of toxins, excess sebum, and other impurities. It will also hydrate your skin while providing an array of antioxidants. However, the best part is its heating effect. It gently warms up once it’s on your skin, in a way that feels like pure luxury on a cold winter’s day! It also has the effect of leaving the pores feeling relaxed. This allows the other ingredients in the mask to work their way into your skin more efficiently.
The Lumi-Cell Wrinkle Refining Solution
There’s nothing wrong with having wrinkles – they can be a sign of a life well lived! However, if you find yourself spending time each day turning to makeup to hide those creases so that you can look wrinkle-free in all of your festive photos, you may want to add the Introstem Lumi-Cell Wrinkle Refining Solution to your holiday skincare routine instead.
This product may seem too good to be true at first. Why? Because it promises to immediately banish the appearance of wrinkles. However, thanks to a combination of fast-acting ingredients, it holds true to these claims, leaving the skin looking crease-free in a matter of seconds.
What are those incredible ingredients? Some of the noteworthy names on the ingredient list include sodium hyaluronate, DMAE, acetyl hexapeptide-8, and squalane. You’ll also notice several vitamins and antioxidants on there. Although these take a little longer to work, they enable this solution to help with the appearance of aging in the long-term too, so long as it’s used regularly.
The VitisCell Brightening Vita-C Serum
Everyone needs a good vitamin C serum in their holiday skincare routines. Vitamin C is a powerful, multi-tasking antioxidant that can help the complexion in so many ways. There is so much research out there that confirms how vitamin C is able to reduce the appearance of aging, lighten the look of dark spots, help with hydration, and more!
Where things get tricky is in finding a good vitamin C serum. Ideally, you want a product that offers more than one form of vitamin C, just like the Introstem VitisCell Brightening Vita-C Serum.
This serum boasts both tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate. You’ll be able to double up on the vitamin C that you treat your skin to. If you know your antioxidants, you’ll also be aware of how vitamin C works best when combined with other antioxidants. That’s why you’ll also find vitamins A and E in this formula, plus antioxidant-laden plant oils. These help to make this serum even more effective!
The VitisCell Facial Shield Cream SPF 30
SPF is something that people rarely think about in the holidays. With the weather being so cold and so much time being spent indoors, sun protection doesn’t feel like it should be a priority.
However, this is a big mistake. The sun’s UV rays are present year-round, even though you may not be able to feel much, if any, heat from the sun. In fact, they can even reach you through glass, meaning that you aren’t safe when you’re indoors or in your car either. This is why SPF needs to be a component of your holiday skincare routine…and the VitisCell Facial Shield Cream SPF 30 makes this easy.
This product functions as both a moisturizer and a sunscreen, making it perfect for the winter. It will leave your skin looking soft and supple while keeping it protected from sun damage. Better yet, it’s loaded with antioxidants too. Thanks to grape stem cells, green tea extract, aloe vera leaf extract, and vitamin A, it will leave your skin looking more rejuvenated with each use.
