It’s completely normal for your skin to feel a little off after a month of holiday indulgences—think of it as a temporary side effect of all the festive fun you had! Late nights, rich foods, and a bit too much bubbly can take its toll. BUT with a little care and patience, your skin will bounce back.




Don’t feel pressured to load up on New Year’s resolutions when it comes to your skin and beauty routine. Real change comes from small, consistent steps rather than drastic overhauls. Let this be a reminder to focus on what makes you feel good about yourself: so many drastic resolutions can end up giving you negative feelings towards yourself and that is NOT worth it for a single second.


The New Year often brings a wave of pressure to make big changes, but it’s important to remember that you’ve already made an entire year of progress—celebrate that! You don’t need to reinvent yourself just because the calendar flipped; instead, focus on building on the strong foundation you’ve already created. Progress isn’t about starting over; it’s about continuing the journey you’re already on.


With this in mind, here are a few simple tips to help your skin recover and glow again after a month of festive indulgence:

  1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and rehydrate your skin from within.

  2. Eat Nourishing Foods: Focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats like avocado and nuts to give your skin the nutrients it needs.

  3. Get Back to Your Routine: Cleanse, moisturize, and protect your skin with SPF daily to restore balance.

  4. Exfoliate Gently: Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and encourage a fresh, radiant complexion.

  5. Cut Back on Sugar: Reducing sugary treats can help minimize inflammation and breakouts.

  6. Consider a Facial: mild, exfoliating peels like a Pepper Mint Peel can kickstart your skins exfoliation to reveal new, glowy, baby fresh skin.

Small, consistent steps will make a big difference!
