How To Give The Gift Of Wellness

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Although for the most wonderful time of the year, it’s proving pretty stressful. Our biggest dilemma? Finding the perfect present for the person who seemingly has everything. When the same old chocolates, bars of soap and knitted gloves don’t do the trick, slip a slice of feel-good energy under the tree instead.

These are the ultimate wellness gifts for the festive season, guaranteed to give them their most relaxing Christmas yet (despite the chaos)…

Ask The Expert: Dr Awatif Mandour

Dr Awatif Mandour, founder of Dermanda, tells us how we can achieve a party season glow this winter…

Why does our skin look and feel duller during the winter months?

The colder months can be harsh on our skin as central heating can be very drying, and constant temperature changes as your move from indoors to outdoors can cause chapping, irritation and dullness. Cold air generally carries less moisture – so it can strip the skin of its surface moisture, leading to dehydration and a more pallid complexion.

How can we bring back our skin's glow this party season?

The best way to combat dull skin in the winter is increase your skin's moisture levels. When it comes to refining your skincare routine, I would recommends looking out for products that contain hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and retinol.

Are there any pre-party products we can treat our skin to?

A good skincare routine will give you glowing, nourished and hydrated skin – but for that extra boost of vitality I would recommend a good hydrating sheet mask treatment a few hours before you hit the town.

What about post-party products? How can we help our skin recover from nights of celebration?

The simple answer is to drink lots of water and maintain your skincare routine. Skin can be wary of change, so stick to what it knows – with maybe the addition of another sheet mask to soothe and revive.
