It’s No Secret the holidays can be one of the most stressful times of the year. But don’t let stress and lack of sleep take a toll on your looks. From holiday parties to office outings, tis the season to eat, drink, and look fabulous! Here are some of my tips to create a rested, more polished you with little or no effort!
What’s an effortless accessory to really change our look or make us stand out?
The hottest new accessory these days are eyeglasses. The right frames can really distract away from tired looking eyes and also add pop and pizzazz to your look. Some styles can reduce the strain your eyes endure, giving you a much more rested and fresher appearance. Altair offers designer frames from stylish brands like Tommy Bahama, Sigrid Olsen and Revlon that can dress up any holiday outfit. Lots of great options from sparkled to studious. Just make an appointment with your VSP doctor and check out them out.
Our skin takes a toll during the holidays and during winter time. Are there any tips to keeping skin looking more youthful or radiant?
If you’re stressed out and tired this holiday season, the first place its going to show up is in your face! Be sure you’re using a moisturizer daily, but one that has added benefits and imparts an overall balancing or glow to your look. Try a tinted moisturizer. A great example is L’Oreal Age Perfect Pro- Calcium Radiance Perfector. It’s loaded with vitamins and nutrients to help lift and tighten, while also brightening and reducing discolorations and age spots, but it has a color matching tint that creates a lightweight veil of radiance. You are truly glowing with long term benefits.

How Come we always break out this time of year no matter what age we are?
No matter what age we are we always have to watch out for blemishes this time of year due to stress and over exhaustion. Don’t let them linger around and create scarring. Treat them, but use gentle effective treatments as to not make the situation worse. Look for treatments that contain the ingredient Stay-C 50, like in University Medical’s Acne Free. It contains a more stable form of Vitamin C that acts a powerful anti-oxidant which can brighten skin and reduce redness on and around the blemish without over irritating the blemish the night before the big party.
Even though the weather may be getting chillier, it’s still the season to put on your party dress and show some skin. How do we make sure our skin looks fab this holiday?
First things first, get rid of unwanted hair and get a smooth polished look to your skin. Removing hair has always been a painful sacrifice we pay for beauty, but now it has become so easy and convenient. Nair has developed a Shower Power Cream for Body that can actually remove unwanted hair fast, while you’re taking a shower. Just apply with a sponge and get into the shower. The formula resists runoff and after a few minutes you remove to expose hair free skin. It’s amazingly simple and comes in formulas that moisturize or exfoliate.
What are some things to consider if we plan on being at crowded or loud holiday soiree?
A great smile is something you’ll want on your checklist before you head out for the evening. Crest Whitening Expressions has four bold flavors, including new Wintergreen Ice, that tastes great, and leave your mouth feeling clean with a bold blast of freshness. It also helps remove surface stains at the same time - so you’ll get a brighter smile to dress up any holiday outfit before you head out!
