You've wrapped all the presents, you've bought the booze, and the Christmas cake has been prepped since autumn. Christmas can be such a hectic time that it can be hard to actually enjoy it. Now that (hopefully) things have started to calm down, it's your time to pour a glass of fizz, sit back, and relax. Whether you're chilling on the sofa or dancing the night away, we have the ultimate solutions to look and feel your best this December and beyond.
IS YOUR SKIN ALL PARTIED OUT?
The combination of cocktails, late nights, and rich foods could mean that your complexion is looking a little lacklustre. Bring things back to life with these speedy solutions.
Revive your face
Alcohol has a huge dehydrating effect on your body and skin. If you've overindulged, focus on replenishing moisture levels by layering different methods of hydration. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are your saviours here - Kate Somerville HydraKate Recharging Water Cream, £65, spacenk.com, combines both. It's light, cooling and refreshing - just the thing for 'morning after' skin.
Zitzappers
The last thing that you want to grapple with during December is a breakout of spots. Keep those blemishes at bay by incorporating Medik8 Press and Clear, £34, medik8.com, into your routine. Apply to a cotton pad and sweep over your skin after cleansing. Malin + Goetz Salicylic Acid Gel, £19, cultbeauty.co.uk, is a brilliant targeted treatment. Apply to spots to help them vanish.
