The festive season is a time for celebration, indulgence, and late nights—but all of this can take a toll on your skin. If you’ve noticed your complexion looking dull, tired, or stressed, you’re not alone. January is the perfect time to reset, recharge, and give your skin the care it deserves. Here’s how to bring your glow back and start the year feeling fresh and confident.

1. Rehydrate Inside and Out

Rich meals, alcohol, and less sleep over the holidays can leave your skin dehydrated.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to restore your hydration levels.

Use a hydrating serum containing hyaluronic acid to plump up your skin.

Follow with a moisturiser that strengthens the skin barrier to lock in moisture.

2. Gently Exfoliate to Reveal Fresh Skin

Dead skin cells can build up during busy periods, leading to a dull complexion.

Use a gentle exfoliant 1-2 times a week to brighten your skin and boost cell turnover.

Be careful not to over-exfoliate, especially during the colder months when your skin is more sensitive.

3. Prioritise Restorative Treatments

Your skin deserves professional care to recover fully. Treatments like:

Hydroluxx Facials: Combine hydration and deep cleansing for an instant glow.

Algae Peels: Perfect for gently refreshing your skin and stimulating collagen production.

Natural Lifting Sculpting Facials: Re-energize tired skin while promoting relaxation.

These therapies not only restore your skin’s health but also help you unwind after the holiday hustle.

4. Focus on Restoring Your Skin Barrier

The combination of cold weather and festive overindulgence can weaken your skin barrier.

Incorporate products with ceramides or niacinamide to repair and strengthen it.

Avoid harsh cleansers that strip the skin, opting for gentle, nourishing options instead.

5. Get Back into a Routine

Consistency is key when it comes to skincare.

Cleanse thoroughly every evening to remove makeup, pollution, and impurities.

Don’t forget your SPF—even in January, UV rays can contribute to skin aging.

Treat your skin to a weekly mask to keep it feeling pampered.

6. Consider the Power of Massage

Stress shows on your skin, but a professional facial or body massage can work wonders.

Boost circulation for a natural glow.

Relieve tension, which helps reduce stress-induced breakouts and puffiness.

January is all about hitting reset—not just for your skin, but for your overall well-being. If you’re feeling the effects of the festive season, let me help you refresh and revive. Book your appointment at Sarah Jayne Skin-Face-Body, and let’s get your skin glowing again!
