12 ways to stay beautiful this Christmas

Eating fatty holiday favorites, partying, and staying up until the wee hours of the morning, not to mention subjecting your skin to the season’s temperature extremes, take a toll on your skin. Even Santa won’t be happy if you look your worst this Christmas with sun-dried skin, and unhealthy and dull complexion.

And even though the holidays may give you all kinds of excuses to indulge in festive debauchery, there should be no excuses for taking proper care of your skin — no matter how busy your Christmas schedule gets.

 You can simplify your beauty routine this season by tapping into brands that are anchored on the efficacy of science and beauty — which can be found in Amway’s long roster of offerings. Here are 12 ways you can look your best this yuletide season with Amway’s mix of skincare, body care, and cosmetic products:

1. Don’t forget the basics. Coming home from late-night parties, all you want to do is hit the sack and doze off. However, don’t forget to do your basic skin regimen. Artistry Essentials is your perfect partner for a beauty routine that is quick and efficient. It is a comprehensive product line for all skin types, providing optimal skin health with maximum ease of use.

2. Shun the sun. Christmas shopping involves running under the sun, especially if you want to go to the cheap shopping spree mecca that is Divisoria. So, before you head out of your house, be sure to put on Artistry Multi-Protect SPF 30, one of the most potent sunscreens on the market today. Unlike ordinary sunscreens that only block UVB — the UV rays that affect the outer layer of the skin, which can lead to sunburn — Multi-Protect SPF 30 also blocks UVA which penetrates deeper into the skin, destroying collagen, elastin, DNA, and causing hyperpigmentation.

3. The X factor: Exfoliate. Christmas frenzy may cause an increase in dead skin cells, so don’t skip this vital skin regimen. With Artistry Polishing Scrub, skin feels soft and perfectly polished. The light foaming scrub with jojoba beads gently sloughs off dead skin cells, and accelerates your natural exfoliating process. Contains Nutrilite-approved ingredients including ginseng, known for its clarifying properties, and chamomile, known for its soothing properties.

4. Dream of a whiter Christmas. A white complexion will never go out of style and there’s no better and safer way to achieve this than with Artistry Pure White Essence. It gives enhanced clarity and brightness to the complexion. It also contains the patented whitening/brightening complex to help maintain a lighter, clearer, more radiant skin tone, and bitter orange peel, a patented antioxidant known to counter free radicals.

5. Have tantalizing yuletide eyes. Beautiful, refreshed, and bags-free eyes are hot this season. Fight the signs of aging and fatigue by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 24 hours with Artistry Replenishing Eye Creme. And, in just 16 weeks, experience a 29 percent reduction in dark circles.

6. Have a wrinkle-free holiday. Christmas rush and all the exhaustion from traveling here and there can add unwanted lines to your face. Use Artistry Wrinkle Relax for targeted treatment that zeroes in on wrinkles.

7. Age gracefully. Don’t let people know how many Christmases you’ve already been through. With Artistry Time Defiance Line that includes a cleanser, toner, day cream, and night cream, you can now fight aging where it starts.

8. Erase inferiority complex with a good complexion. Look good in your holiday outfit with an even complexion with G&H Complexion Bar. Discover the moisturizing effect of honey and glycerin on your skin and glow with the season.

9. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. The season’s cool breeze can take out a lot of moisture from your skin so you have to do double time in bringing it back. Use Artistry Foaming Body Wash for gentle full-body cleansing that contains grape seed extract, acerola cherries, citrus bioflavonoids, and aloe for the ultimate bathing and hydrating experience. Follow this with Artistry Sugar Scrub to seal in that much needed moisture.

10. Carry a handy dandy breath freshener. Since Christmas is the time for food binging, it’s always good to carry around a handy dandy breath freshener. Try Glister Mint Refresher and enjoy a minty clean, cool, tingly feeling with one quick spray. Convenient 0.33 oz. dispenser fits in your pocket or purse. No worry for weight watchers since this product contains no sugar and no calories.

11. Glow with lively eyes and cheeks. Be a head turner this Christmas with the correct makeup. Start with Artistry’s Eye Colour that has a velvety and smooth texture that makes it easy to apply and blend. Micronized pigment technology allows it to exude the purest colors that last for hours. Vitamin A and powerful oxidant vitamin E also protect the delicate skin in the eyelid. Artistry’s Cheek Color glides smoothly on the skin in sheer color for a fresh, natural look.

12. Pucker up. You’ll never know when you will be under the mistletoe with your special someone. So always be ready by applying Artistry Sheer Lip Colour that gives off luminescent gloss and shine while enriching the lips with vitamins A, C, and E, and soothing them with aloe.
