In Full Parade: How to Prepare for a Corporate Event

The pre-New Year hustle is exhausting: buying gifts, corporate events, and urgent work completion turn the last weeks into a tiring marathon. Dehydration, dullness, and loss of tone are typical reactions of the skin to stress. But there is a time-tested solution for each of these unpleasant issues.

Add concentrates, ampoules, and masks for specific problems to your skincare routine: with hyaluronic acid and marine collagen for hydration, with vitamin C for radiance, with caffeine and troxerutin against puffiness. Speaking of masks, here’s a life hack: don’t apply them right after a shower, as this leads to dehydration of the skin and causes dryness and increased sensitivity. Also, during the holiday season, refrain from scrubbing: use gentle peels based on acids — lactic, almond, ferulic.

Self-Tanner for Beautiful Skin

Even in summer, not everyone manages to achieve an enviable tan, and by the end of December, the ranks of such lucky ones dwindle hopelessly. Visits to tanning salons are a highly questionable decision from the perspective of skin health. However, a self-tanning product is an excellent idea. The times when they smelled like fried mushrooms and left streaks and spots on the skin are thankfully over — modern self-tanners are much more user-friendly. New generation drop concentrates provide an individual degree of golden tint within a week. You just need to add two to six drops to your usual evening cream. A light tan will enhance both lovers of open outfits and those who prefer closed dresses — it will refresh the complexion.

For Transformations — Go to a Professional

Even a one-time professional facial treatment has the effect of a fairy godmother — it transforms in an instant, magically turning a tired Cinderella into a radiant princess. Therefore, it’s worth booking a salon treatment in advance (preferably scheduling it the day before the celebration). Consider a manual massage, a comprehensive treatment using professional cosmetics, or microcurrent therapy. However, all three procedures can be combined into one. Massage initiates lymphatic drainage, removes puffiness, and restores tone. The skin transforms both externally and internally: blood circulation improves, oxygen saturation increases, and metabolic processes are enhanced.

Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive hardware procedure that eliminates puffiness and tones the skin. By the way, a simple version of this procedure can be enjoyed at home with the help of a beauty gadget (there are many options on the market now), which will also come in handy after any party. Besides the visible result, microcurrents help to "ground" psychologically, reducing anxiety levels — they activate the production of opioid peptides, including endorphins (the "happiness hormone") in the brain.

Any professional treatment, in addition to cleansing and saturating the skin with active ingredients, involves the use of an alginate (seaweed) mask, which "lifts" the face and smooths out wrinkles. Immediately after the procedure, the skin becomes firmer and more radiant. This option is the fastest way to "beautify". Of course, the effect is temporary, but for the duration of New Year's Eve — it's just right!
