Survive the Holidays and Stay Beautiful

beautiful-artworkWe all look forward to the holiday season when we get together with our family and friends to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve. With all celebrations, there are often dozens of beauty hazards to deal with - weight gain, stress, lack of sleep and cold weather are just some of the most common among them. If you don't want the holiday festivities to take toll on your beauty routine, check out the useful tips below:

How to avoid weight gain?

Weight gain is one of the most common holiday beauty hazards - almost all traditional meals served during the holidays can easily be considered calorie atomic bombs. The best way to prevent holiday weight gain is to simply be careful about how much food you consume. For example, you can replace the calorie-rich eggnog with hot cocoa, which contains less calories. Furthermore, don't let the holidays ruin your exercise routine - even taking a 15 min walk around the neighborhood will help you burn out excessive calories.

How to deal with sleep deprivation?

Sacrificing your good night's sleep is pretty common during the holiday festivities, but sleep deprivation is one of your beauty's worst enemies. The lack of sleep causes red eyes and even could cause dark circles to form. The best way to deal with this is to make sleeping one of your top priorities and make sure you get enough sleep even when your party schedule is pretty tight.

How to deal with holiday stress?

While we all associate the Christmas holidays with pleasant time spent with people we love, for many of us this is the most stressful time of the year. We often worry about money, hosting or attending parties and cooking delicious meals for our guests, but this excessive stress often takes its toll not only on your mood, but your skin as well. Stress causes acne and even hair loss, so it's crucial to avoid it at all costs! A relaxing massage or help from a friend, could help you take the load of your shoulders and really enjoy the holidays.

How to deal with cold weather?

The cold weather is beauty's worst enemy - it causes your skin to dry and could even affect your hair color, not to mention the constant risk of getting sick. The best way to prevent cold weather from taking its toll on your beauty is to regularly moisturize and exfoliate your skin, as well as wear worm clothes every time you go outside your home.

How to prevent nail damage?

Preparing for holiday celebrations often involves a lot of manual labor, which will certainly take its toll on your nails. Once you are done shopping and wrapping up the presents for the holidays, it's time to take care of your nails - you can visit the salon to get lacquers or you can apply two coats of colored nail polish.
