Stress, Holidays, and Your Skin: How to Stay Glowing Through It All

If you experience holiday stress, you are not alone. Nearly 9 in 10 adults report feeling stressed during the holiday season. And stress can affect more than your mood. Right when you want to look your most radiant, many experience complexion dullness, dryness, and even breakouts. 

The Skin-Stress Cycle 

So, why does stress show up on your skin? When cortisol (your body’s primary stress hormone) spikes, it can trigger inflammation and overproduction of oil. Combined with colder weather, late nights, and sugary holiday treats, your complexion can quickly lose its balance. 

This season, the most effective beauty strategy might not be a new serum or concealer. Connect with our team at Face Reflections to learn more about how to slow down and restore balance from within. 

Stay Glowing with an Awaken the Senses Facial

In the rush of holiday events, self-care often slips to the bottom of the list. But just one hour of focused relaxation can make all the difference, not only in how you look but how you feel. Our Awaken the Senses Facial begins with farmhouse-fresh towels infused with desert bloom botanicals. This soothing start signals to your body that it’s time to relax. 

Tension melts away with a warm bamboo massage across your face and décolleté. The improved blood flow helps nutrients reach the skin’s surface and delivers a healthy, post-treatment radiance that no highlighter can replicate.

Lavender, often referred to as the Botox plant, gently firms and softens. To complete your journey, the Bluephoria mask cools and quenches with a hydrating blend of antioxidants. 

Before the parties, pictures, and family gatherings begin, take time for yourself. Let the stress fade away, let your senses awaken, and stay glowing, inside and out.
