2. Eat and Drink Hydrating Foods and Beverages
During the holiday season, you want your skin to absorb as much moisture as possible while preventing it from drying out due to the elements or dehydrating holiday foods and drinks. Swapping caffeinated coffee for water or herbal tea and eating foods with high water content, such as cucumbers, leafy greens, fresh fruit, and seasonal root vegetables, will help your skin hydrate naturally from the inside out.
3. Lock in Moisture with a Hydrating Tallow Balm
After you’ve gone through your skincare routine, you can apply a hydrating tallow balm to lock in moisture without clogging your pores. Tallow ethically sourced from grass-fed cows contains natural fats that closely mimic the oils your skin naturally produces. This makes tallow extremely effective at keeping your skin moisturized, soft, and plump during the dry winter months. Tallow balms are excellent ways to reduce redness, calm inflammation, and strengthen your skin barrier during the holidays.
4. Switch to a Hydrating Natural Deodorant
Preparing large holiday meals, shopping for gifts, and traveling in inclement weather can all make you break a sweat. To prepare for potentially hectic holiday situations, switch to a natural deodorant that will love and calm your skin. Natural deodorant containing tallow from grass-fed cows, coconut oil, beeswax, and calming essential oils like lavender will keep your underarms moisturized and keep you cool, calm, and collected.
