The holiday season is full of excitement, gatherings, and celebrations — but it also comes with a subtle rise in stress. From busy schedules to disrupted sleep and colder weather, the body experiences more internal tension this time of year, and the skin often reflects it.

Winter brings cozy moments and holiday excitement, but it also creates one of the harshest environments for your skin. Cold air outside and heated air inside both contain very little moisture, causing the skin to lose hydration much faster than it does in warmer seasons. Low winter humidity accelerates water loss in the skin, making dryness and dullness far more common during colder months.
