Men's Guide to Glowing Skin for the Holiday Season

|

Time to read 3 min

As the holiday season approaches, so do colder temperatures, festive parties, and, unfortunately, dry and dull skin. Whether you’re heading to family gatherings, company parties, or just want to feel refreshed for the New Year, having glowing, healthy skin can make a world of difference in your confidence and appearance. The good news? You don’t need an elaborate routine to achieve that radiant look. With a few key tips and the right products from our lineup, you’ll be holiday-ready in no time.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Cold air and indoor heating can sap your skin of moisture, leaving it dry, flaky, and dull. Maintaining proper hydration is essential for glowing skin, especially during the winter months when your skin is more prone to dehydration.

One of the best ways to keep your skin hydrated while also providing light coverage is with NuNorm’s Tinted Hydrator. Packed with moisture-locking ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane, this tinted moisturizer helps maintain your skin's hydration levels while evening out your complexion. It’s the perfect base for any daytime or evening look, offering a natural glow without heaviness.

Pro Tip: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support your skin from the inside out. Hydration isn’t just about what you apply topically—it starts with what you put into your body.

Exfoliate for a Fresh Canvas

Dead skin cells can build up on the surface of your skin, making it look dull and uneven. Regular exfoliation helps remove these cells, allowing your skin to better absorb moisturizers and other skincare products.

Look for a mild exfoliator that won’t irritate your skin. A product containing natural ingredients like jojoba beads or glycolic acid can gently slough away dead skin without causing redness or irritation. Exfoliating two to three times a week can keep your skin looking smooth and vibrant.

Pro Tip: Always moisturize after exfoliating to replenish the moisture barrier that can be disrupted by exfoliation.

Combat Shine and Excess Oil

While cold weather often causes dryness, your skin can still produce excess oil as a defense mechanism, especially in more humid indoor environments or during those long, festive nights. This can leave your skin looking shiny or greasy in holiday photos or under artificial lighting.

Our Shine Eraser is your best friend for combating unwanted shine without over-drying the skin. It instantly absorbs oil and sweat, providing a smooth, matte finish. Use this lightweight, invisible formula before holiday events to ensure your skin looks balanced and fresh.

Pro Tip: Keep the Shine Eraser compact with you for quick touch-ups throughout the evening. It’s great for maintaining a polished, oil-free complexion during busy holiday gatherings.

Add a Touch of Definition

Glow doesn’t just come from clear skin—it’s also about highlighting your natural features. Subtle enhancements can make a big difference, particularly during holiday events when lighting can wash out your complexion.

For quick, targeted coverage of any imperfections, the Quick Cover Stick is a must. Use it to conceal dark under-eye circles (which can become more pronounced during the holiday season’s late nights), blemishes, or any redness. Its buildable coverage ensures that you can adjust your look from day to night with ease.

Defined brows frame your face and give you a polished, put-together appearance. Our Brow Rescue Pencil offers a natural, smudge-proof way to enhance your brows and even fill in any patchy facial hair. With its smooth, long-lasting formula, your look will stay intact no matter how long the holiday festivities last.

Pro Tip: Focus on evening out your skin tone and defining your brows for a clean, polished look that appears effortless but speaks volumes.

Don’t Forget the Lips

Cold weather can take a toll on your lips, causing chapping and discomfort. A well-moisturized lip is essential for that glowing, healthy appearance.

Make sure to keep a hydrating, non-greasy lip balm with you during the holiday season. Look for one enriched with Shea Butter or Vitamin E to keep your lips smooth and hydrated throughout the day.

Nighttime Skincare for Recovery

The holidays can be exhausting, and your skin is often the first to show it. After a long day (or night) of celebrations, give your skin the care it deserves with a proper nighttime routine.

Use Cleansing Wipes that are clean, safe, and gentle on the skin, to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. Keeping your skin clean before bed is essential for preventing breakouts and maintaining a glowing complexion.

For an extra boost of hydration, consider using a night cream that contains hyaluronic acid or ceramides to restore moisture as you sleep. Your skin repairs itself overnight, making it the perfect time to deeply hydrate.

Glowing Skin, All Holiday Season Long

The holiday season can be harsh on your skin, but with the right routine and high-quality products, you can keep your skin glowing and healthy throughout all the festivities. Whether you’re looking to hydrate, reduce shine, or define your features, these tips and products will ensure that you look your best at every holiday event.

Make this holiday season about more than just looking good—make it about feeling confident in your skin. With NuNorm’s lineup of skincare and makeup products designed specifically for men, achieving glowing skin has never been easier.
