![How do the excesses of Christmas affect the skin?](http://matchaandco.fr/cdn/shop/articles/table-wine-meal-set-christmas-wedding-722561-pxhere.com_20x8_crop_center.jpg?v=1695037325)
During Christmas, it's common to consume more calorie-rich foods than during other times of the year, and the portions tend to be more abundant. This not only has consequences for weight but also for the health of the skin, making it appear dull and dehydrated.
Fatty foods can disrupt the skin and have a negative impact on it, and those containing a lot of sugar can cause very high insulin spikes that lead to skin inflammation and the hardening and deterioration of dermal fibers.
On the other hand, alcohol congests and dehydrates the skin, causing it to look dull.
All of this results in a dull, lackluster, and dehydrated skin.
Tips for maintaining healthy skin during Christmas:
Drink water
Apart from trying to control food intake during those days, it is essential to drink ample amounts of water, at least 1.5 to 2 liters per day. This not only takes care of your health but also nurtures the skin from within, keeping it hydrated and promoting elasticity.
Consume greens
It is recommended to consume green vegetables. A good routine is to turn to detox broths, detox juices, or herbal teas to achieve an anti-inflammatory and decongestive effect. Additionally, juices with high vitamin C content help counteract the effects of alcohol.
Natural decongestant remedies
If you get little sleep, it's normal to wake up with swollen eyes, bags, and dark circles, so it is advisable to use a remedy that decongests the affected area. You can use cucumber or potato slices, cold water compresses for 5 or 10 minutes, or specific patches.
Immediate effect ampoules
For days of excess, it is advisable to use cosmetic treatments that have an immediate effect. This is the case with ampoules containing proteoglycans, which are useful both when you wake up and before an event. They make the skin appear more rested and fresher.
Cosmetics with active ingredients
Retinoic acid has antioxidant properties that counteract aging and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin for smooth and firm skin. Additionally, it has a depigmenting and regenerating function that helps combat skin blemishes.
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturizer with regenerative properties that stimulate collagen production, and glycolic acid helps accelerate the skin's exfoliation process and remove dead cells.
All of this will help improve skin imperfections and give the skin a radiant appearance.
Dietary supplements
Another ideal option that will allow you to take care of your skin from the inside and outside every day, providing it with everything it needs to maintain its hydration, elasticity, and firmness.
An ideal option is the Glowing Skin Set by Matcha & CO, which will help repair and radically improve the skin by acting on the inside and outside of the skin. These are two unique products developed with the highest quality ingredients that will hydrate, firm, and add radiance to your skin.
