The holidays are a time for indulgence, but have you ever considered how those festive treats might impact your skin? While people’s eating and drinking habits during the holiday season can affect their skin, the good news is that Skin Diva Labs is here to help you navigate these challenges with skin-friendly tips and a skincare solution powered by NAD+ that will keep your skin glowing well past the holidays.
The Sugar Effect: Holiday Sweets That Can Keep Your Skin Glowing
There’s nothing quite like holiday cookies, cakes, and candies. However, the high sugar content in these treats can form Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), which can affect collagen production, an essential protein responsible for keeping your skin smooth and supple.
Switching to a low-glycemic diet may help reduce the formation of glycated collagen, supporting skin health by limiting sugar-related effects on collagen. So, while you enjoy the festivities, keep an eye on your sugar intake by opting for alternatives like dates to sweeten your favorite holiday dishes without compromising your skin’s health.
Alcohol and Hydration
Holiday parties often come with glasses of wine, bubbles, and cocktails, but did you know that besides leaving you dehydrated, alcohol can also dehydrate your skin? Keep an eye on drinks with excess sugar, including white wine.
A great tip for the holidays, and life in general, is that moderation is key. A great way to reverse the effects alcohol may have on your skin is by alternating each drink with a glass of water to stay hydrated and help your skin retain its natural glow.
Skin-Friendly Alternatives: Foods That Support Your Glow
Add nutrient-rich alternatives to sugary treats and salty snacks to your holiday menu. As stated above, dates are a fantastic substitute for sugar in baked goods, while apples and carrots can add moisture to cakes and muffins without the extra sugar. These ingredients taste delicious and help keep your skin hydrated and nourished.
Maintain Your Skin Health During the Holidays
Keeping your skin looking youthful throughout the holiday season doesn’t require drastic changes—just a few mindful adjustments. Drink plenty of water, enjoy your favorite foods in moderation, and maintain a skincare routine that supports your skin’s health from the inside out.
Skin Diva Labs offers a NAD+ Vegan Skincare solution designed to help you keep on top of your skincare routine during the holiday season. NAD+ boosts your skin cells’ energy, repairs damage, and fights wrinkles. It’s the ideal way to combat the effects of holiday indulgence and keep your skin looking fresh and radiant. You can explore NAD+ and its benefits more through Skin Diva Labs’ Everything Lift Serum, an ideal addition to your holiday skincare routine.
