The festive party season is underway, and Christmas is only a few weeks away.
From the office party to Christmas dinner, and from Christmas shopping to kisses under the mistletoe, looking and feeling great is vital to make it through the festive season successfully.
Our handy guide brings together some useful tips to make sure you can easily beat the Christmas stress to look and feel amazing and relaxed.
1. Gift Yourself First
Before the chaos peaks and you forget about yourself entirely, lock in your own self-care ritual. Our Glow Ritual Gift Set is the perfect way to ensure you have five minutes of calm every day, no matter how busy December gets. Think of it as your non-negotiable moment of peace — because you can't pour from an empty cup.
2. Wind Down Faster (and Gentler)
After a long day of holiday chaos, the last thing you need is a complicated skincare routine. Our Eco Makeup Cloth removes makeup with just warm water — no harsh rubbing, no multiple products, just a quick, gentle cleanse that lets you get to bed faster. It's the ultimate shortcut to your evening calm, and your skin will love you for it.
3. Get Some Sleep
Recharging the batteries is an essential part of any party season, and you’ll also be giving your immune system a boost too. Try to get 7-8 hours where possible, and if needs be, have a nap when things quieten down!
4. Take Vitamin C
At what is essentially quite a stressful time of year, our immune system can take a hit. The last thing you want at Christmas is a cold or flu, so dose up on Vitamin C, through a supplement and plenty of fruit and veg.
5. Don’t Skip Meals
During the festive season, it can be easy to get out of your routine and miss meals such as breakfast or lunch. Where possible, try to ensure you eat well in between the indulgence! That way, you’ll keep the energy levels high!
6. Reclaim Your Shower as Sacred Time
When December gets overwhelming, sometimes the shower is the only place you can truly be alone. Make it count. Our Invigorating Body Scrub transforms those five minutes into a proper self-care ritual — the Lavendyer, Ylang Ylang, Ginger and Bergamot blend wake up your senses while you literally scrub away the stress of the day. Lock the door, turn up the water, and give yourself permission to just... breathe.

7. Stay Hydrated — Inside and Out
Alcohol is a favourite way to beat Christmas stress, and we're not here to tell you to skip the festivities! Enjoy the season and all the indulgences that come with it. But to avoid those hangovers that threaten to hamper your busy social schedule, drink lots of water in between those glasses of wine, beer or bubbles.
And while you're hydrating from the inside, don't forget your skin. Our Hydrating Anti-Ageing Elixir gives your skin the moisture boost it needs to recover from late nights, air conditioning, and holiday stress. A few drops morning and night, and your skin will thank you — even if you had one too many the night before.

8. Give Yourself Permission to Actually Enjoy It
Here's the thing: all the rituals, hydration, and self-care tips in the world won't help if you're white-knuckling your way through December. So give yourself permission to actually enjoy the chaos — the parties, the family moments, the indulgences, all of it.
You don't have to do December perfectly. You just have to show up as yourself. And when you need to reset? You know where to find us.
