Introduction
The holidays are fun, festive… and sometimes a little harsh on your skin. Between parties, travel, and indulgences, your skincare can take a hit. Here are the top holiday skincare mistakes to avoid this December — and what to do instead.
Mistake #1: Over-Exfoliating Before Events
Trying to get that glow with multiple exfoliants can backfire. Stick to one gentle exfoliant 2–3 times per week — no more.
Mistake #2: Sleeping in Makeup
After long nights out, you might feel tempted to skip cleansing. Don’t. Sleeping in makeup clogs pores and triggers breakouts.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Hydration
Holiday drinks and cold air dehydrate your skin. Use a hydrating serum and a rich moisturizer daily, especially before bedtime.
Mistake #4: Trying New Products Before Events
Don’t risk a reaction. If you want to test a new product, do it after the holidays — not before your big photo op.
Conclusion
The holidays should bring joy — not skin issues. Avoid these common mistakes and your complexion will stay as bright as your mood this festive season.
