Oh Holidays oh holidays, we are not ready for you! Or are we?
Either way, the New Year is just around the corner and no matter what we have planned, we have to be beautiful. So is it possible to get a complete skin makeover in less than one week?
We wanted to ask Dr. Costi for some extra expert tips on how to get beautifully glowing skin in time for the holidays.

Here are 5 tips to rejuvenate your skin in 5 days.

Yes it’s possible to achieve a skin makeover in a short amount of days, on the condition that you commit to an intensive routine leading-up to your big event.

Day -5
How about a detox treatment for a fresh start?
Both your face and body can benefit from a cocktail of vitamins that will oxygenate and energize your complexion.
Any form of massage is recommended, according to Dr. Costi, to get your circulation going and drain your body of toxins. Just as such, start hydrating more by drinking more water and avoiding alcohol and coffee. Oh yeah, and don’t smoke!

Day -4
Take care of your morning and night-time skin care steps.
In the morning, purify with an anti-oxidant wash that will clear your pores and calm any inflammation.
Follow it with a gentle invigorating scrub to peel off any dead cells.
“Now you’re ready for a good hydration that your skin will soak up. Use a serum before applying your favorite cream, it will give you an extra boost” says Dr. Costi.

At night, apply a rich mask after cleansing your face. Do this every night leading up to your big event, after which you can apply it up to twice a week.

Day -3
Add a nice face oil to your routine, to speed the process of better-looking skin. Depending on your skin type, there are many products to choose from, and the result is instantly visible. It helps with fine lines, wrinkles and all kinds of dryness or dullness. Apply the oil before putting on your hydrating cream.

Day -2
Stop scrubbing or peeling or any harsh treatments that could leave your skin irritated. It’s time to be extra gentle.
In the morning, a nice facial treatment will lock-in moisture and plump-up the appearance of your complexion.
The trick is to give the products enough time to work their magic, and relax the rest of the day to enjoy their full benefits.

Day -1
At night, cleanse and hydrate, then apply extra attention to your under-eye area.
“A nice collagen eye mask will do wonders for dark circles” says Dr. Costi. Just apply it before going to bed and it will absorb all night into your skin, brightening and tightening that sensitive area. “I recommend a product with green tea extract”.
You’ll wake up ready for your big day!

Look at you! With just a bit of preparation, your face is beautiful, hydrated, fresh and glowing.
So keep investing in your skin, it’s the best gift you can give yourself (you’re gona live with it for the rest of your life!)
