The festive season is in full swing, with indulgent meals, late nights, and plenty of summer celebrations. While your spirits may be high, your skin might be starting to feel the effects of the holiday season. From dehydration caused by one too many glasses of bubbly to the toll of sun exposure, now is the perfect time to give your skin some extra TLC to recover and prepare for the year ahead.

 Here are our top tips to help you reset your skin and keep that glow going as we head into the New Year:

1. Mid-Festive Season Detox for Your Skin

The holidays can leave your skin feeling congested and lacklustre. Start with a detox to cleanse and refresh. Double cleansing in the evening can help remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities from the day.

Our recommendation: Ultimate Brightening Foaming Cleanser

2. Restore Hydration and Radiance

Between summer sun, air conditioning, and festive drinks, your skin is likely craving hydration. Replenish moisture with hydrating serums featuring ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Follow up with a nourishing moisturiser to lock it all in. For an extra boost, apply a hydrating mask a few times a week to restore radiance and plumpness.

Our recommendation: Ultimate B2 Hydrating Serum & Ultra Replenishing Mask

3. Exfoliate Away the Holiday Build-Up

Gentle exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresh, radiant complexion. Products like Ultraceuticals Exfoliating Gel are perfect for at-home use, or you can book an in-clinic Hydrobrasion treatment for a deeper exfoliation. This step will also enhance the absorption of your skincare products, making them even more effective.

4. Sun Recovery Tips

If your summer celebrations involve outdoor adventures, your skin might be feeling the effects of sun exposure. Even if you’ve been diligent with SPF, your skin may benefit from calming and repairing products. Look for ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide, and antioxidants to soothe and protect. Vitamin C serums are excellent for addressing sun damage and brightening the skin.

Our recommendation: Ultra B2 Recovery Cream & Ultimate C Firming Serum

5. Prep for a Radiant New Year

As we approach the end of the year, it’s a great time to set some skincare resolutions. Whether it’s committing to daily SPF, incorporating active ingredients like retinol or AHAs, or finally tackling those stubborn pigmentation spots, setting clear goals can help you start 2025 with confidence. Book a consultation at Ivy Clinic to develop a personalised plan that works for your skin type and lifestyle.

6. Don’t Forget Your Body

Summer means more skin on show, so don’t neglect your body! Regular exfoliation and moisturising can keep your skin soft and smooth. If you’re dealing with post-sun dryness or uneven texture, a hydrating body moisturiser and exfoliator is key.

Our recommendation: Ultra Retexturising Body Complex & Ultra Gentle Exfoliating Gel.

7. The Power of Consistency

The key to achieving glowing, healthy skin isn’t just a one-time treatment or a mid-holiday reset—it’s consistency. Make a habit of sticking to a routine that works for you, and remember that great skin takes time and dedication.
