4. Stay in Balance
If you have time, try to get a facial a week or so before all of your holiday festivities. This will help to restore the moisture balance to your skin, and give you a natural holiday glow. If you don’t have time for a facial, use hydrating facial cleansers and serums, exfoliate and use a humidifier.

5. Detox
If you are hung-over after drinking too much at a holiday party, make sure you drink tons of water to re-hydrate your body and your skin. Also, to re-energize your skin after a long night out, a mask will help to cleanse, purify and detoxify the skin.
