Expert Festive Skin Care Prep Tips From Sienna X
Use Fast-absorbing Serums Or Oils To Deeply Nourish
With the colder weather approaching, your skin needs to be super hydrated and nourished. So, look at switching out your lightweight products for heavier alternatives, such as a fast-absorbing serum or facial oils. Use the Sienna X Facial Oil underneath your regular face lotion to prevent your skin from becoming dehydrated. It's 100% natural too! This unique blend of 5 botanical lipids harnesses a powerful and patented active ingredient, White Lupin Seeds. They have been proven in clinical studies to improve the firmness, elasticity and facial contour of the skin with regular use.
Indulge In At Least One Face Mask Per Week
Whether you want a clarifying, hydrating or even detoxifying face mask – they’re fabulous for enhancing your self-care and adding extra attention to your skin. We’re a little biased, but our favourites are the Sienna X Clay Mask & Miracle Mask. It helps to achieve a clean, healthy and glowing complexion. Indulge in a deep pore cleansing treatment that helps to fight dehydration and banish blemishes. And our Award-Winning Miracle Mask is a revolutionising 3-in-1 moisture hit in a mask with 10% natural Manuka Honey. This mask will help your skin appear instantly brighter and blemish-free.
Remember To Apply SPF!
We know that it’s not always beautifully sunny, especially in the UK winters! However, SPF is a crucial element to your skincare routine. And even on days when the sun isn’t out, you still need protection. Particularly so on the delicate skin of the face, an area which often first begins to show signs of premature ageing. And, remember, UV rays can burn through clouds. So, SPF must be applied to protect skin from burning and prevent sun damage. Too much exposure to UV rays can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations. The Day Cream and The Eye Cream from our award-winning Skincare collection include SPF30 and SPF15 respectively. So, you can go makeup free with the confidence that your skin is sun-safe.
Expert Festive Hair Care Prep Tips From Hair Gain
Deep Conditioning Treatment
To keep hair hydrated and healthy for the festive season, indulge in a regular deep conditioning treatment. Use our nourishing miracle treatment Hair Mask once a week leading up to the holidays. This will help restore moisture, deeply hydrate and repair damage. And you'll be giving your hair a silky, shiny finish with mirror like shine. Easily applied, our Hair Mask is proven to reduce hair shed by 60% from the first use*. Pair with our Scalp Massager for deeper dispersion and diffusion of the mask and to increase blood circulation to the scalp. And double down on these benefits and foam your way to fuller hair with our fantastic Scalp Foam.
Eat Right & Supplement
Excessive sweets, drinking, poor sleeping habits, and consuming unhealthy meals can all have a negative impact on your hair. As the festivities approach, fill any gaps in your social calendar with a healthy, vitamin-rich diet to nourish your hair from within. Boost this with a hair supplement to support your diet and feed your follicles directly. Our Hair Capsules and Hair Gummies, powered by AnaGain™ from organic pea shoots, are clinically proven to stimulate growth for thicker, fuller, healthier-looking hair.
Re-energise & Volumise
With all the styling that comes with nights out, Christmas lunches and parties, it's crucial to protect your hair from heat damage. So, give your locks a break from blow drying and use a dry shampoo to extend the time between wash days. Our non-aerosol Peptide Puff™ Dry Shampoo is dermatologically tested and is suitable for all hair types. It's packed with active ingredients to absorb oil, grease, and odours while caring for your hair. Its targeted puff applicator and compact size make it the perfect styling aid to take your festive hair from work to party with ease. It’s also a quick way to add volume, body, and texture to your roots during the festivities.
