How To Get Radiant Skin Before The Holidays

Hello my lovelies!  So today I received an email from a very good friend about her roommate’s concern over her dull skin.  And with all the weather changes going on, I’m sure this is a concern many of us are having.  I wanted to address this issue with an amazing find I discovered today.

Dull skin is usually due to an accumulation of dead skin cells.  When we fail to exfoliate and unveil that more youthful skin underneath, we tend to lose that “glow”.  Well don’t fret, there are so many options out there to help you.  The simplest one I can recommend is to exfoliate!  Find an exfoliant that’s right for you and start off using it 1-2 times per week.  Please keep in mind that overexfoliating can be very damaging to the skin so you could be doing more harm than good.  Steer clear of those overly abrasive exfoliators like St. Ives Apricot Scub.  Now I know everybody on the planet has probably used that one, but its way too much for the delicate skin on your face.  Scrubs like that can actually cause tears in the skin and really do a lot more damage than simply removing the dead skin cells that lie on top.  Overstimulation of the skin can also lead to breakouts.  So depending on your skin’s sensitivity, stay on the lookout for scrubs with soft rounded beads (a gentler option) or scrubs with grounded seeds (a more abrasive option).

Now on top of preventing a buildup of cells, you want to make sure you’re treating your skin to the best serums and moisturizers to keep the growing cells healthy.  All of this combined is what brings about that youthful, radiant glow.  Sephora has just launched 5 new limited edition sets for the holidays (can you believe its that time already?) and I have found the perfect one for all of you concerned with dullness.  Sephora Favorites Radiant Skin Regimen Deluxe Sampler contains deluxe-sized samples of top brand products that are guaranteed to keep you looking young and fresh this holiday season.
