Get Glowing For Your Holiday Parties!
Have a party to go to this Holiday Season?
Here are some great tips for head-to-toe that will make you shine like the North Star!
Have Normal to Dry Skin?
- Cleanse the Skin with a Glycolic based Cleanser (Like Sanitas Glycolic Citrus Cleanser)
- Apply an active enzyme mask to the face and neck (try the Sanitas Papaya Pineapple Mask or our own homemade mask recipe)
- Leave on skin for 15 minutes, then remove mask with a gentle scrub (like Sanitas Lemon Cream Scrub)
- Rinse skin thoroughly
- Apply a ‘shine’ serum with Vitamin C all over – including around the eyes (Try Sanitas Vita-Rich Serum, or your personal favorite Vitamin C serum!) Massage into skin until the slip is gone and serum is absorbed.
- Apply your favorite moisturizer!
- Your skin will be perfect fresh palette for make-up and gives your cheeks a naturally rosy glow!
What about those of you with Oily or Acneic Skin?
- Cleanse with a Salycilic Cleanser (Like Sanitas Salycilic Herbal Cleanser)
- Apply a clay based mask to absorb excess oil and debris from the surface and soften skin (We really love the Sanitas Tea Tree Mask)
- Let the mask dry completely on the skin – about 15 minutes
- Remove mask with a gentle facial scrub (Like Sanitas Lemon Cream Scrub)
- If you have Acneic skin or inflamed breakouts, replace the scrub with a very warm, clean wash cloth compress.
- Rinse skin thoroughly.
- Tone Skin (with Sanitas Mild Medicated Toner or Aroma Bella Balancing Fluid)
- Apply an Oil-free moisturizer (like Sanitas Oil-Free Moisturizer or Aroma Bella Balancing Lotion)
Now For the Body!
- Fill your bathtub and add in Pure Fiji Coconut Bath Milk (or make your own with organic cream or powdered milk and rose or lavender essential oil)
- While waiting for the tub to fill, stand on a towel outside the tub and scrub your skin from shoulders to toes with Pure Fiji Coconut Body Scrub (or use our Brown Sugar Scrub Recipe)
- Get into the tub and soak away!
- As the bath tub is draining, rinse off and pat skin dry
- Apply body oil or body butter all over (our favorites are Pure Fiji Coconut Body Oil and Mango Body Butter) *Be sure to use the oil or butter in small amounts at a time to avoid leaving skin greasy.
‘Tis the season of celebrating. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, there are plenty of parties, functions and events…leaving you and your skin paying the consequences. Your skin aids the internal digestive system and can feel a little worse for the wear after a night of celebrating. Dry skin, breakouts, puffy eyes. But if you plan ahead, there’s no reason your skin has to suffer. Here are a few tips for keeping your skin feeling great through the Holidays:
I love to use pumpkin enzymes to soften and exfoliate my clients’ skin in the studio. Pumpkin is high in Vitamins A, C and Beta Carotene (a plant carotenoid and antioxidant.)
Be prepared this Holiday Season! These gift suggestions are sure to make great impressions without breaking the bank!!
Got a rip in your stockings? Have they lost their elasticity? Don’t throw them away! Gently wash and dry them, then cut off the feet. These “feet” can be used in lieu of muslin or cheesecloth for bath soaks or eye compresses.
