With the holiday season officially upon us we are feeling the pressures and stresses that the come along with the hustle and bustle of this time of year.  Each day we awake to a countdown of the actual days remaining in the season, reminding us of how little time we have to fulfill every obligation.  These pressures and constant worry can put a toll on you and your skin.

Prevent this before it happens by staying ahead of the game and taking a little extra time to pamper yourself and keep your skin healthy! With a little added effort, you will be glowing and radiant looking your very best for every holiday occasion.

  • Get your beauty sleep.  Sleep one of the best ways you can rejuvenate and repair your mind, body, and soul.  A well deserved 8 hours every night will keep you going strong and ready for the hectic days ahead.
  • Drink plenty of Perfect Water.  Especially in the colder winter environments, moisture is depleted from the air inside and outside.  Our thirsty skin and bodies needs lots of water to maintain good health.  Try to stay away from too many caffeinated drinks and spirits, which can dehydrate you as well.
  • Use the correct Artistry moisturizer for your skin morning and night.  During the day make sure the moisturizer you are using keeps your skin plump, glowing, and hydrated throughout the entire day.  If you are noticing dry or tightness on your skin, it’s time to step up your moisturizer with more hydration.  For instances, let’s say you are a combination skin type and use Artistry Time Defiance Day Lotion SPF 15.   Since the weather changes and colder temps you have notice a bit of tightness in your cheek area, you might need to change to Artistry Crème LuXury or Time Defiance Day Protective Crème SPF 15 to maintain moisture and radiance in your skin for the entire day.
  • Always use Artistry Eye Crème.  Artistry Replenishing Eye Crème is great for puffiness and dark circles, when you don’t get your beauty rest.  Artistry Time Defiance Lifting Eye Crème hydrates and reduces the appearance of fine lines due to dryness and dehydration.  Artistry LuXury Crème LuXury Eye will do it all and more; this extraordinary formula transforms and reenergizes the eye 360 degrees around the entire eye.

  • Remember to pamper your lips.  Keep them well hydrated and protected with Artistry Sheer Lip Colour with SPF 15.  Formulated with vitamins A, E, and C, this smooth hydrating lip sheer will keep your lips conditioned and soft through cold winter months.
  • Get a radiant glow and look your best with Artistry Intensive Skincare Renewing Peel.  Your skin will become smoother, look restored, and feel softer instantly.  I recommend using it twice a week for optimum results.  This amazing peel turns over cell layers and reveals new fresh skin underneath.

Giving yourself and your skin a little added attention will pay off with radiant results!  Just remember to take the time to enjoy yourself, the people special in your life, and the moments that make the holiday season special.

Cinco de Mayo, or the “fifth of May”, is celebrated nationwide in the United States and regionally (primarilly in the state of Puebla) in Mexico.  This is a day to celebrate the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Here in the U.S., this is a day to celebrate the culture of Americans of Mexican ancestry.  It is celebrated by many, regardless of their ethnic origin!  Schools hold events and present lessons on the history and there are celebrations of Mexican culture featuring music, dance and foods. What a great day to celebrate!

If you are like us here on the blogging team, you will be celebrating right along side of everyone!  Why not dress for the occasion?

The colors and patterns of traditional Mexican fabrics are a perfect way to take part in the special day!

A maxi skirt is also a great way to dress up a casual tee or top.

Other great ideas for all of those holiday festivities:

* A smokey eye with Eclipse and Spiral eye colors and a swipe of Champagne Light Up Lip Gloss for a shimmery nude lip
* A stroke of Charm eye color, some Shimmer Loose Powder across your cheek bones and Celestine lip gloss for a pinky sheer finish

 Happy Holidays, beauties!
