It’s no secret that a good night’s sleep, using less product, eating healthy food and avoiding alcoholic beverages will leave your skin looking and feeling its absolute best. Let’s be real though.
The month of December is upon us and there’s no escaping the numerous parties, dinners and other social gatherings that span across the entire month. With family and friends from all over the world coming together in tiny Lanka, there’s no other option but to go completely festive this season. But, you can still avoid drastic damage to your skin during this entertaining time of the year with a few tips.
Skincare routines have evolved greatly over the generations from back when our grandmothers would just use soap as a face wash followed by a dab of Johnson & Johnson cream topped off with loose powder. Now, thankfully, brands all over the world, including homegrown ones right here in Ceylon, have created almost miraculous products that aim to attack very specific skin problems as opposed to giving one answer for all. From hydration to cleansing to so much more, there are many steps that you can start following immediately to protect your skin before the season kicks in. If you think we’re overreacting, think about all the late nights, make-up, unhealthy food and drinks you’ll be consuming!
Unless of course, you WANT to start 2019 looking like something straight out of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video…
1 MAKE-UP REMOVER
When you’re crawling back into your house at 4 AM after one too many rounds of tequila last night, the last thing you want to be focusing on is removing your make-up. If you’ve sprayed on your Urban Decay AllNighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray and your make-up’s still intact, that’s great, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing your skin any favours. Your pores become increasingly clogged the longer you sleep with product on and this results in the formation of microcomedone which ultimately attracts acne-causing bacteria.
