Thanksgiving is a time to gather, indulge, and enjoy. But while your heart is full, your skin may be dealing with the aftermath of rich foods, late nights, and colder weather. The good news? With the right post-holiday skincare routine, you can restore your skin’s natural glow and keep it hydrated, soothed, and healthy.
Why Thanksgiving Can Impact Your Skin
The holiday indulgences we love can leave skin feeling less than stellar. Here’s why:
-
Dehydration: Salty foods and alcohol draw moisture out of the skin, leading to dryness.
-
Inflammation: Sugary treats can cause inflammation, which may result in redness and breakouts.
-
Environmental Factors: Dry, cold air and indoor heating strip the skin’s natural oils, worsening irritation and flakiness.
A tailored post-holiday skincare routine can address these concerns, leaving your skin refreshed and protected.
Step 1: Gentle Cleansing
After a feast, it’s tempting to over-cleanse, but this can strip your skin of essential oils. Opt for a gentle cleanser that hydrates while removing impurities.
-
Rejûvaskin Hydrating Facial Cleanser: Infused with Exo-P, this cleanser removes dirt, oil, and makeup without drying out your skin. Its lightweight, gentle formula supports your skin’s natural barrier, making it ideal for the dry, cold season. Explore the product.
Step 2: Replenish Moisture
Dehydrated skin craves replenishment. Use a moisturizer that not only hydrates but also locks in moisture to protect your skin.

Environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure can compound post-holiday skin issues. A good moisturizer or serum packed with antioxidants can help repair and protect your skin.

Key Ingredients: Look for products containing antioxidants like vitamin C to combat free radicals and boost skin radiance (Lupo, 2001).
Step 5: Weekly Hydration Boost
Treat your skin to a weekly hydrating mask to restore moisture and combat dryness.
-
DIY Tip: Masks with hyaluronic acid or pomegranate extract are great for replenishing hydration and soothing inflammation (Ahmed et al., 2020).
