Tis the season for breaking out your most dazzling dresses, applying your best glam, and making the rounds at holiday parties. But all of those cocktails and late nights can take a toll on your skin if you don’t implement a few key steps every day to maintain your gorgeous glow. Read on to find out how you can achieve complexion perfection 24/7 by adding a few extra steps to your skincare routine each day.
Double Cleanse Every Night to Remove Any Trace of Makeup
Double cleanse to make sure you have removed all of the makeup from your face. With a makeup-free face, your pores are free and ready to more fully absorb the serums and oils you will be applying next in your skincare regimen. Be sure to pat, not rub, your face dry with a clean towel when you are done. I love starting with the Skintelligence® Hydra Derm Deep Cleansing Emulsion because it gives my skin such a deep clean and dissolves makeup and any residual dirt on my skin. Then I follow up with the Micellar Cleanser from Lumière de Vie® to gently remove any remaining impurities on my skin’s surface.

Micellar Cleanser, Lumière de Vie®, $45.00
Add Multi-Purpose Oils to Fight Dehydration and Restore Your Skin’s Luminescence
Oils can more deeply penetrate your skin for a longer-lasting impact on your skin’s smoothness, hydration, and youthful radiance. The Renewal Elixir from Lumière de Vie® is a must-have for adding back hydration and glow to your skin after a night of cocktails and hot, dry party air.

Depuff Your Peepers to Hide Tell-Tale Signs of Late Nights
Eye Balm by Lumière de Vie® is a miracle worker. Not only does it reduce your dark undereye circles, but by restoring moisture to your eye area, it plumps and makes your undereye area look more youthful overall. There’s also the added benefit of light-diffusing pigments to counteract any darkness underneath your eyes.
