Tips For Glowing Skin This New Years Eve

Be The Glow-getter
Time to boost your complexion for the last party of the year with some great skincare. And no worries, you can do this in the comfort of your own home. To have radiant, glowing skin consider a luxurious face mask, exfoliation, and do not forget to hydrate the skin. 

This is a multi-purpose tip. Glowing skin is a must. But more importantly, the key to flawless makeup application is smooth skin. Caked on, flakey makeup does not occur because your makeup sucks. But because your skincare routine sucks!
 
You need to buff away those dead cells to balance your skin. Otherwise, you will highlight those imperfections instead of concealing them when applying makeup! It seems contradictory, doesn't it? But that layer of skin cells creates false wrinkles, flakiness, creasing, and other issues as your makeup clings to it, which is why you need to prep your skin with some great skincare. So let's dive in. 

Exfoliate In 30 Seconds
One of the quickest ways to glowing, healthy skin is with a sonic cleansing device, like the Nova from Spa Science. You can purchase this at your local Walmart, Target, Khols, and Walgreens.

Sonic vibrations cleanse deeply and exfoliate without disrupting the skin's natural barrier, making NOVA perfect for last-minute skincare. Sonic cleansing effectively cleanses your skin seven times faster than manual cleansing, and you can do it in under a minute. Your skin will feel refreshed and prepped for your night’s beauty look.  

Made To MASK

A mask I love that is not harsh on the skin is Colleen Rothschild Clarifying Detox Mask that revitalizes tired skin in minutes.

Activated charcoal and French Kaolin clay go straight to work detoxing pores! They are like the perfect suction cup! As they have the power to remove dirt, oil, makeup, and other grime, leaving behind a more balanced complexion, while pure micronized silver helps keep bacteria at bay.

A Bonus for this mask is it also has a blend of Vitamin C and Willowherb to help brighten and soothe the skin.

Hydrate The Skin

It is essential to hydrate the skin after exfoliating and using a clay mask. Another Colleen Rothchild product I love is her The Intense Hydrating Mask

This treatment not only quenches your skin but also helps strengthen elasticity and minimizes the appearance of fine lines, leaving your over forty skin with a youthful suppleness and radiant glow!

BONUS: While you can wash this off as it is a mask, I do not. I use it before bed and keep it on as a hydrating overnight mask; it is mask marvelous! 

Finishing Touch With A Face Primer

If you follow my blog, you know my thoughts using a face primer before applying your makeup. They are a must. Without them, your makeup will sit in your pores, create false wrinkles! Not how I want to ring in the new year!

On the other hand, when you do use a face primer. You'll find that your foundation and other beauty products will have a much smoother finish while minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines!

A quick Amazon purchase is Hyalo AI Beauty, Rosé Spot Defying Primer! This rose primer will not only help with a flawless makeup look, but it will also keep your facial makeup in place while adding that extra glow all the way past the ball drop! 

New Year's Eve Nails: Sparkle Into The New Year

No New Year's Eve look is complete without the perfect set of nails to match your party vibe! Whether you're sipping champagne at an elegant soirée or dancing the night away, your nails can be the ultimate accessory. Here are some last-minute tips for New Year's Eve nails that shine just as bright as the Times Square Ball.

• Go for Glitter: Nothing says NYE like a touch of sparkle. A glittery topcoat over your favorite nail color can instantly elevate your look and is quick to apply. For a trendy touch, try gold, silver, or holographic glitters that complement your outfit.

• Metallic Magic: If you're short on time, metallic press-on nails can save the day. They're easy to apply and add a chic, polished finish to your look. Shades like rose gold or chrome silver are perfect for ringing in the new year.

• Accent Nails: Add a playful twist to your manicure by focusing on accent nails. A simple star or confetti design on one or two nails can make a bold statement without requiring a full-on nail art session.

• DIY Nail Art Hacks: If you’re feeling creative, try using nail stickers or a dotting tool to create fireworks or bubbly champagne designs. These fun, festive touches will make your nails the life of the party.

Remember, your nails are a small detail that makes a big difference in pulling your whole New Year's Eve look together. Don’t forget to finish with a quick-dry topcoat to ensure they stay flawless all night long!

Prevent Hangover Skin

Did you know that alcohol can also wreak havoc on your skin? From dryness, dullness, breakouts, even premature aging. But what are you to do? Prep yourself with the night before with a skincare hangover routine.

Yes, if you are somewhat coherent, you should attempt to implement some of these hangover beauty tips before you pass out. One tip I need to stress is remembering to remove your makeup! No matter how comfy that bed may look, you need to remove your makeup before passing out.

Hair Extensions For That Glamorous New Years Eve Look

If you do not have time to get your hair professionally done. Hair extensions are a quick and easy way to add volume, length, and even a chance for a gorgeous highlight without coloring your hair.

Tip: Hair extensions hold curl for a while. To save time, curl the hair a few days prior and clip them in before walking out the door.  

Also, the cold winter temperatures and moving from the cool air outside to the indoor heat can cause hair to become dull and break more easily. So, a few days prior consider using a nourishing hair treatment.
