The holidays are a time for joy, celebration, and indulgence. However, the aftermath of holiday feasts, travel, and late nights can often show up on your skin in the form of unwanted post-holiday breakouts.Â
At Aventura Dermatology, our team, which includes three dermatologists, a physician assistant, and two aestheticians, is familiar with the skin challenges this time of year can bring. We also know how to address them.
If you’re noticing more blemishes than usual, you’re not alone. Understanding the causes and taking proactive steps – including choosing the right cosmetic dermatology treatments – can help you regain clear, glowing skin.
Why Do Breakouts Happen After the Holidays?
During the holiday season, it’s common to stray from regular routines. Several factors can wreak havoc on your skin, including:
- Increased sugar and processed food intake
- Increased stress
- Lack of sleep
- Heavier makeup
Sugar and processed foods can cause inflammation and excess oil production. Meanwhile, stress and disrupted sleep patterns lead to hormonal imbalances and breakouts.
Tips to Prevent and Manage Post-Holiday Breakouts
The good news is that there are several steps you can take to prevent and control post-holiday breakouts, such as:
- Hydrate and Detox: Rehydrate your body by drinking plenty of water. It helps flush toxins and supports skin clarity. To combat inflammation, incorporate nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens, berries, and omega-3s.
- Get Back to Your Routine: Return to a consistent skincare regimen to avoid clogged pores. This regimen should include a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and non-comedogenic products.
- Clean Your Tools: Wash your makeup brushes, pillowcases, and towels often. This will get rid of bacteria buildup that can worsen breakouts.
- Avoid Picking Blemishes: Picking at breakouts can worsen inflammation, increase scarring, and delay healing.
