The Countdown to Christmas: Your Ultimate Glow-Up Guide for the Holiday Season

As the holiday season draws near, the excitement of glamorous soirées, indulgent feasts, and festive gatherings fills the air. The season of celebration and connection is truly magical, but for many, it can also be a time when skin, energy, and overall radiance begin to feel the effects of late nights, rich diets, and busy schedules. The good news is that you don’t have to sacrifice your glow to enjoy every moment. Dr. Maurizio Viel, the celebrated plastic surgeon at Cornerstone Clinic, has curated a step-by-step beauty guide to help you maintain your radiance and energy as you prepare for the ultimate Christmas glow-up.

Let’s take a look at how to prep your skin and body in the weeks leading up to the festive season.

4 Weeks to Go: Building Your Foundation

It’s four weeks before Christmas, and this is the perfect time to start laying the foundation for your festive glow. If you’re looking to achieve flawless skin that can withstand the stress of the season, Dr. Viel recommends beginning with skin-boosting treatments like NCTF. This unique blend of 50 active ingredients—think vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and antioxidants—works deep within your skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The results? A more youthful complexion that stands strong against the pressures of indulgent meals, late nights, and the demanding festive lifestyle.

Alternatively, if you’re aiming to smooth out texture and tone while boosting your skin’s overall elasticity, multi-frax laser rejuvenation is another excellent option. These treatments work together to rejuvenate and prepare your skin for the festivities, ensuring that you’ll glow all season long. These early treatments create a solid foundation for your skin, helping it look its best no matter how hectic things get.
