Here are a few ways to unwind during the holidays so you can look and feel your absolute best. Relax I know it seems impossible to relax during the hectic holiday season, but it?s a must in the name of beauty. Stress can wreak havoc on both your appearance and your overall wellness, including your heart, digestion, weight, memory and sleep. When it comes to your skin, stress can bring on breakouts and cause dehydration, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Stress can cause hormonal imbalances and affect your skin?s barrier function, which could potentially affect your immune system. And don?t get me started on the effects of stress on the hair. If you aren?t interested in turning gray or experiencing hair loss over the holidays, then it?s time to unwind. To help you relax, it?s important to find a little ?me? time even during the busiest time of the year. If you can find just five minutes a day to do a little meditation, it will serve you and your appearance well. Just by entering into a relaxed, peaceful state you can release chemicals into your body that will help to counter the stress hormones you are creating. It?s so simple.

Look for a place that?s quiet and removed from the holiday chaos. A comfy little spot just for you will do.Close your eyes, sit up straight and tall, and place your hands in your lap.Slowly begin to breathe. Inhale through your nose until your lungs are filled, and then slowly exhale through your mouth. Deep breathing will help to slow your heart rate and inspire a feeling of calm. It will also help to lower your blood pressure.If you can dedicate even more than five minutes, do it. A few extra minutes out of your crazy day will only help you to further alleviate your stress levels. Managing stress can be difficult. We need to take advantage of every opportunity to get our stress levels under wraps.
Here are Few of My Favorite Stress Reducers Soaking in a bubble bath. Practicing yoga to help train the mind and body to better deal with daily chaos. Listening to music (preferably while soaking in the tub) shopping online, which is a huge time and stress reducer during the hectic holidays.Watching TV or a movie.Reading a book or the latest fashion magazine.Taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood. Once you?ve mastered the art of relaxing, you?ll likely notice a change in your appearance, as well as your demeanor. In addition to relaxing, you also need to get a good night?s sleep or it?s all for nothing. Many people admit to losing sleep at night due to stress. And others admit to being even more stressed out because they?re too tired to deal with holiday activities. It?s a vicious cycle. Get Some Sleep Remember, as crazy as it sounds, we call it ?beauty sleep? for a reason. I often say a good night?s sleep should be everyone?s number one, go-to beauty tip. There is nothing like that youthful, healthy-looking glow you get after a good sleep. Couple a good night?s sleep with your favorite nighttime skin care products and you?ll look fantastic and refreshed. During the holidays we tend to stay up later Remember, as crazy as it sounds, we call it ?beauty sleep? for a reason. " celebrating, wrapping presents or putting the finishing touches on our favorite DIY holiday project. Whatever the case, this is not the time to skimp on sleep. When we don?t get enough sleep, our bodies release more cortisol than usual. Cortisol is a stress hormone, which in excess can have us looking tired and stressed out in no time. Our skin can become a bit inflamed and it can affect our collagen. Over time you?ll begin to notice less firmness in your skin and compromised elasticity. The result: fine lines, wrinkles and dry skin. A restless night also shows under our eyes. There?s no amount of concealer that will cover those dark under-eye circles when we?re exhausted. When we don?t sleep, the blood vessels found directly under the skin around the eyes become dilated and we end up looking like a raccoon. When we?re sleeping, our body goes into repair mode. This is when the repairing and renewing of our cells occurs. This is vital for our entire body? but when it comes to our skin, it also helps to fend off early aging. Think of sleep as your most important beauty aid, and do your best to get a good eight hours every night. A good night?s sleep will make it easier to face the daily stresses this season. After all, we want to look our best during the holidays.
