Ways To Handle Holiday Stress On Your Skin

While the holidays can be so much fun, they can also be a bit stressful, and this stress can have a negative impact on our skin. Whether short or long term, it is crucial to find ways to lessen the holiday burden to not only to help you feel and look happier, but also for your skin.

The first thing is to focus on what you can control. As you see, great looking skin involves a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare habits enabling you to produce a glowing, radiant looking complexion. Hence, what you put in your body is equally as important as what you put on it.

Maintain A Balanced Diet
While eating some of those prepackaged foods may be convenient in between work and holiday shopping, they are not always best for your skin. Too much-refined foods, such as sugar, or that with a lot of added salt can drain the body of essential vitamins and minerals. This, in turn, encourages wrinkles and premature aging. Instead, you want to eat foods that are rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, such as fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts. Nuts like walnuts are wonderful for the skin, and fruits like Papaya are also fantastic!

Exercise
Working out brings more oxygen to your skin cells, leaving you with skin that's nourished and firmer. While physical activity is a huge stress reliever, you don't have to spend hours in the gym to feel the benefits! Activities like yoga can also do the body good.

Beauty Sleep
Beauty sleep is real! The goal is to have 6-8 hours of sleep a night as lacking sleep can cause a lot of adverse effects on your skin, like dark circles under the eyes, bags, and that darn stress hormone can get elevated hurting your skin's quality!
