The 3 Barriers To Healthy Skin Around Thanksgiving Time
There are a number of factors that can leave your complexion needing some TLC on Turkey Day. Here are the top three most common barriers to achieving a gorgeous glow:
1. A fragile hydrolipidic barrier
If you live in a climate with cold fall and winter seasons, the cool, dry air is likely to weaken your skin’s protective barrier. Once this hydrolipidic barrier has been compromised, your skin can become more easily irritated, sensitive, and even blotchy (read more about strengthening your skin barrier here).
2. Increased skin dryness
Unlike summertime, fall air tends to be significantly less humid. So what does that mean for your skin? This dry weather is likely to leave your skin feeling tight and uncomfortably dry.
3. Maskne
While health and safety should be everyone’s first priority during this pandemic, it’s apparent that wearing masks for extended periods of time can come with some unwanted effects on our skin, namely maskne (aka acne symptoms that are caused by the prolonged wearing of face masks). Common maskne symptoms include redness, pimples, and hypersensitivity.
Thanksgiving Beauty Tips for Enviably Radiant Skin
The right skincare remedies will leave your complexion looking noticeably brighter and radiant. With innovative, biotech-formulated skincare, you can treat your skin to spa-quality treatments that enhance your skin without leaving the house.
The DIY Skincare Routine that Will Transform Your Skin This Thanksgiving
Apply this clean biotech skincare regimen infused with powerful plant actives in the evening before Thanksgiving day for best results.
1. Start with a milky vitamin C cleanser
Avoiding cleansers that overstrip your skin of its natural oils is especially essential with the dry climate during the colder months. Instead, opt for a creamy cleanser like the Mandarin Cleansing Milk. This cleansing milk is infused with glow-enhancing antioxidants as well as plant-based actives like mandarin extract and licorice root that instantly brighten your complexion. After each wash, your skin is able to retain a maximum amount of hydration for a silky smooth feel. Gently pat your skin dry after cleansing.
2. Exfoliate and brighten with a polishing mask
Whenever it’s time to make an impression, whether it’s a red-carpet event or Thanksgiving dinner, turn to an exfoliating face mask for instant complexion-reviving effects. The Circcell Fruition Mask is a triple-action treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, brightens, and hydrates your skin for noticeably transformative results. Not only does each application work to effectively exfoliate dead skin cells, it also delivers a rich dose of skin-resurfacing fruit enzymes, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and brightening vitamin C for ultimate radiance. With over 45% real fruit extracts to effectively revive a dull complexion and reveal a natural glow to take your Thanksgiving beauty routine to the next level.
Insider tip from the Circcell team: Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes for best results. Bonus: The gentle exfoliation provided by the Fruitition Mask will also work to improve the absorption of your skincare products.
3. Dab on a Skin-Barrier Protecting Toner
Once you’ve cleansed and exfoliated, your skin is officially primed and ready to receive optimal results from your skincare products. The best place to start is with a toner. Since your skin barrier is more fragile around this time of year, many dermatologists recommend opting for a pH-perfecting toner like DEW. The benefits of DEW go farther than your average toner- it also functions as a skin-smoothing primer, pH balancer, pore refiner, hydrating serum, and a skin-soothing agent that offers a rich blend of complexion-reviving amino acids, radiance-enhancing lactic acid, and a melody of brightening botanical actives. You can also dab this on to protect your skin after moments of maskne irritation.
Insider tip: Firmly hand-press DEW onto your skin instead of rubbing. This method is both more gentle and aids the toner to better absorb.
4. Follow Up with Oxygen Skincare
After the toner comes serums. For the ultimate esthetician-quality DIY Thanksgiving routine, choose high-performance oxygen serums for a complexion that’s visibly more radiant. Oxygen facial treatments are a favorite of celebrities like Madonna and Michelle Williams thanks to their unique rejuvenating benefits. Circcell’s oxygen-rich ABO +|- serums allow you to experience the same luxury treatments at home. ABO +|- face and eye serums both contain Circcell’s biotech-derived perfluorocarbon blend which consists of 3 different medical-grade oxygen carriers to significantly enhance cellular respiration. What’s more, these serums are infused with salisporene-8, which is highly-prized for its ability to increase moisture content in the skin by over 6000% in just 4 weeks. To take the results a step further, the multi-functioning ABO +|- serums also feature sea fennel stem cells and algae extract to deliver a potent dose of micronutrients to the skin and restore major radiance to the complexion.
5. Seal the Deal with a Radiance-Enhancing Facial Oil
Before you head out for your Thanksgiving meal, don’t forget the final step to leave you glowing: a skin-perfecting facial oil. Nancy's Blend Extraordinary Face Oil harnesses the benefits of fermentation technology to create the perfect radiance-inducing glow. The fermented actives have a higher dose of nourishing fatty acids for healthier skin. What’s more, the molecular size of Nancy’s Blend is reduced after fermentation, meaning it’s able to penetrate your skin significantly more deeply, creating a beautifully healthy glow and silky smooth skin texture that’s suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
