Christmas ages the average woman by up to four years!
Christmas may be one of the jolliest times of the year, however the stress and excitement can have drastic effects on the skin. The stress of Christmas shopping, enduring the crowds and elbows flying around can cause breakouts in the skin. The office party and Christmas Eve means we increase how much alcohol we usually drink too, which expands the blood vessels causing redness and deprives the body of anti-oxidants, slowing the skin's healing capacity and preventing recovery. By Christmas day morning, the skin is already hungover, only to have to face the heat of the kitchen! Prolonged exposure to heat, and the transition from hot to cold environments, will dehydrate the underlying structure of the skin leaving it looking dry and tired.
Top tips to avoid Festive skin horrors:
Finish your Christmas shopping well in advance of those last minute dashes
Be careful how much alcohol you drink during the party season, of course being mindful that 'tis the season to be jolly!
Open a window whilst you're cooking to maintain a cooler temperature
Moisturise and eat well to balance all those chocolates, nuts and other treats! Read more about how Christmas can age you here

The safety of dermal fillers
You may think there are only two kinds of dermal fillers available: permanent and non-permanent. However, we would also want you to know that there are 'FDA approved' fillers, and ones that aren't FDA approved. 'What does this mean', we hear you say. Basically, any cosmetic procedures in the USA must be approved by its regulating body, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). In Britain and Europe, the regulation of this industry is fairly lax when compared to their American counterparts and it has often been said that we Brits are treated as guinea pigs in new treatments. If a product has been FDA approved you know it has satisfied some stringent tests.
We only use products that have been FDA approved because we care about your health and wellbeing. Only recently non-FDA approved 'tan injections' have hit the news due to more and more people using them without really knowing the long-term risks and effects.
