Top skin care tips for surviving the 2024 party season
The party season is here, and while Christmas festivities are all about joy and celebration, late nights, a few drinks and all that fun party food can take a toll on your skin, leaving it feeling tired and dull.
To keep your complexion radiant as we approach the new year, follow these pre, mid and post-party skin care tips:
Surviving the silly season: skincare tips
At Christmas time, hydration is the top tip. Drink plenty of water between your champagne top-ups and keep yourself hydrated during the day. It may also help to have a bottle of H2O by your bed when the temperature stays warm outside.
Alcohol is generally full of sugar so if you’re indulging in a few beverages, stick to water at other times of day and avoid soft drinks or too much fruit juice.
Other tips to help enhance your skin during the Christmas party season include eating a healthy diet, sticking to your cleansing and skincare routine, making sleep a priority, scheduling a few make-up free days and finding time for daily exercise.
Finally, no matter how late your night has been, remember to cleanse your skin before bed. We recommend a purifying facial cleanser, followed by a boost balancing moisturiser.
Pre-party essentials
Preparation is key for a radiant, party-ready look. Using a quality serum will keep your skin hydrated and help your makeup stay put for longer.

Hydrate and Protect with the Right Serum
Choose your serum based on your skin type: -
For dry, sensitive skin, use Olive Skin Serum. It’s packed with antioxidants to soothe and hydrate deeply.
-
For combination skin, opt for the Acai Berry Active Antioxidant Serum, which balances your skin, fights against damaging free radicals and provides a radiant base.
