Your December to-do list rivals Kaia Gerber, Theresa Hayes and Kendall Jenner\u2019s Paris Fashion Week schedules courtesy of the onslaught of long family dinners, too many to count work parties and looong late-night dates, which are all fun, so long as you don\u2019t wear their wear and tear on your face the next day. Here\u2019s how to save face and survive the holidays, beautifully.<\/p>\n

TEMPERATURE TANTRUMS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re jet-setting south for the next four months, you\u2019re juggling the freezing cold outdoors with the dry desert-like heat of the indoors all winter long. \u201cIt takes a toll on our skin,\u201d affirms Dr. Paul Cohen a Toronto-based dermatologist at Rosedale Dermatology. Overexposure to diverse temperatures can cause water to evaporate from our skin \u201cdrying it of its moisture and often, making it crack. When skin is dehydrated, it is not radiant and doesn\u2019t glow. Your skin will start to appear rough and dry, and your complexion will look dull and lackluster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your skincare solution?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nYour skin\u2019s natural oils are programmed to kick in and will lubricate your face by trapping moisture in the skin but it still needs a wing-woman, a.k.a: moisturizer. Hydrating your dermis with a lotion or cream containing humectants like hyaluronic acid and emollients such as vitamins E and A, shea butter and plant-based oils like rose help combat \u201cthe resultant transepidermal water loss and the shedding of the dead skin cells of the top layer of skin,\u201d says Dr. Lisa Kellett a dermatologist at DLK On Avenue in Toronto. These products will also work to attract water to the dermis and lock it in. Make sure to \u201capply your moisturizer to wet or damp skin,\u201d advises Dr. Kellett.\u201cThis will increase the absorption of it during the winter.\u201d \u00a0And word to the wise: don\u2019t skimp on the creams and fall into bed before applying them. For optimum health and glow you need to hydrate your face morning and night.<\/p>\n

SUGAR SENSATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Popping bottles of champers and double dipping into the sweet and spiced eggnog is synonymous with the holidays, yet sugar plays havoc with your face. \u201cThe danger with sugar is that it leads to systemic inflammation,\u201d says Dr. Cohen. Typically found in alcohol, carbohydrates and sweet treats, consuming excess sugar can have you seeing spots. \u201cSugar causes acne by spiking your insulin levels, causing inflammation throughout the body, which aggravates your skin,\u201d explains Dr. Cohen.<\/p>\n

Your skincare solution?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nSkincare products and treatments formulated with low levels of glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, AHA, BHA or retinol are your best bet. These ingredients help absorb excess oil, zap bacteria and heal the targeted areas. You can even use \u201ca one per cent liquid retinol, which will give you the benefit of a vitamin A,\u201d says Dr. Kellett. \u201cBut it should be titrated and applied into your moisturizer so that you can get the benefits without irritating your skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

SERIOUS STRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a known fact: the holidays can be stressful. There are too many events jammed into one month, expenses hit an all-time high and family dinners, well, they don\u2019t always start with a happy toast. And when your body is stressed chances are it\u2019ll manifest on your face. \u201cYour body releases stress hormones including cortisol, which may increase the skin’s oil production, making you prone to breakouts\u201d and other conundrums, explains Dr. Cohen. \u201cEczema, hives, rosacea and psoriasis can all be aggravated by stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your skincare solution?<\/strong>
\nUsing products with anti-inflammatory lavender, peptides and antioxidants like vitamins C and E, helps and all ideal on aggravated and sensitive skin. \u201cA vitamin C liquid with at least 20 per cent concentration can act as an antioxidant and decrease free radical damage,\u201d explains Dr. Kellett.<\/p>\n

SACRIFICED SLEEP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between your mom\u2019s tree decorating party, too many work cheers and romantic date nights to the Nutcracker ballet the last thing you\u2019re getting is sleep. \u201cBeauty sleep is a real thing,\u201d affirms Dr. Cohen. And when you don\u2019t get enough it shows. \u201cTired skin sags. You may have puffiness around the eyes or bags. Lack of sleep also causes blood vessels to dilate, causing the look of dark under-eye circles.\u201d Not to mention, your skin cells are so worn out they can\u2019t work efficiently to replace the old ones with new ones and that can leave you looking dull and droopy.<\/p>\n

Your skincare solution?<\/strong>
\nCatch an afternoon power nap if you can, otherwise smooth fine lines away with a mask or balm loaded with ingredients like silk tree and horse chestnut extracts and hyaluronic acid to reduce dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles. \u201cThey deeply nourish your skin, helping it recover,\u201d says Charmaine Cooper, the education manager for The International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica Canada.<\/p>\n

MAKEUP MUCK <\/strong><\/p>\n

Your mother told you to never fall asleep with your makeup on and she was right. Factor in a full day\u2019s work and a looong night clinking glasses and you\u2019ve created a recipe for skin disaster. \u201cWhen you go to bed with makeup you are setting yourself up for clogged pores, because your skin doesn\u2019t have a chance to breathe and recover,\u201d says Dr. Cohen. \u201cYour skin is covered in pores, which not only allow you to sweat, but also allow you to secrete sebum\u2014the waxy lubricant that helps moisturize and protect your skin, as well as remove dead skin cells and other irritants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your skincare solution?<\/strong>
\nWe know it\u2019s hard to not dump your clothes in a pile on the floor as you crawl into bed with a full face of makeup, and you can still do that, but here\u2019s the work around. Keep a package of makeup wipes next to your bed and remove your makeup while you\u2019re lying down. Residual makeup \u201ccontains ingredients that hinder the natural reparative process of the skin,\u201d explains Cooper. \u201cThese ingredients include: artificial colours, artificial fragrance, mineral oil and lanolin.\u201d<\/p>\n
