Skin Care Strategies for the Holiday Hustle

Glow Through the Holidays: Winter Skin Care Essentials

Winter in Southern California may not bring snow, but cooler temperatures, dry air, and festive-season stress can still wreak havoc on your skin. From November to March, it’s essential to adjust your skincare routine to keep your complexion radiant, hydrated, and ready for all those holiday parties and photos.

Caring for skin during winter in California

Here’s how to keep your skin glowing while juggling the excitement (and stress) of the season:

1. Hydrate Inside and Out

Even mild dips in humidity can leave your skin feeling parched. Incorporate a hydrating serum like iSClinical’s Hydra-Cool Serum to replenish moisture and soothe your skin. Follow up with a rich moisturizer such as Glo Skin Beauty’s Barrier Balm for added protection against dryness.

2. Never Skip Sunscreen

Southern California’s winter sun can still cause damage. Use EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 daily. Its lightweight formula protects your skin while calming any redness or irritation—a bonus for event-ready skin.

3. Brighten and Glow

For a party-ready complexion, integrate a gentle exfoliant like Glo Skin Beauty’s Retinol + C Smoothing Peel into your routine to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Use this at night, and don’t forget your SPF the next day!

4. Combat Stress Breakoutsskin care swaps for winter with Glo Skin Beauty

The holiday hustle can lead to stress-induced breakouts. Keep iSClinical’s Active Serum on hand to target blemishes while promoting an even tone and texture.

5. Prioritize Self-Care

Glowing skin comes from more than products. Make time for yourself amidst the chaos. Indulge in regular facials at The Ivy Day Spa to deeply cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin. Our expert estheticians customize treatments to meet your skin’s seasonal needs, leaving you refreshed and photo-ready.

6. Stay Hydrated and Rested

No product can replace the basics: drink plenty of water, eat skin-nourishing foods, and get enough sleep. A calm mind and hydrated body reflect beautifully on your face.
