The holidays are officially on the horizon—and that means your calendar is about to fill up with parties, dinners, and festive photo ops.
Whether you’re planning to shine at the office party or want your skin to glow under the twinkle lights, now’s the time to prep.
At POUT, we believe that radiant, confident skin starts with a plan.
Here’s your guide to getting party-ready skin this season—straight from our estheticians who know how to make every complexion holiday-perfect.
1. Start Early with Professional Treatments
A flawless makeup look starts with healthy, smooth skin. Treat yourself to a facial a few weeks before the big events to help brighten and refresh your complexion.
POUT Favorites:
- Dermaplaning Facial: Instantly smooths away dull skin and peach fuzz for a flawless makeup base.
- Microneedling: Boosts collagen for firmer, more radiant skin—perfect for that “lit from within” glow.
- Chemical Peel: Helps even skin tone and refine texture just in time for holiday parties.
✨ Pro tip: Book your facial at least 7–10 days before your event so your skin has time to fully reveal that post-treatment radiance.
2. Hydration Is Your Holiday Hero
Cooler temps and indoor heat can leave skin feeling tight and thirsty. Keep your glow going by layering hydration—from lightweight serums to rich moisturizers.
Try This Routine:
- Apply a hyaluronic acid serum to plump skin and lock in moisture.
- Follow with a hydrating moisturizer morning and night.
- Don’t forget your eye cream—holiday lights (and late nights) call for extra under-eye care.
For an instant pick-me-up, we love Sisley Paris’ Black Rose Cream Mask—your skin will drink it up and thank you later.
3. Glow from Head to Toe
Holiday prep doesn’t stop at your face. Treat your whole body to some extra TLC.
- Spray Tan: Get that just-back-from-vacation glow, even in December. POUT’s custom spray tans are streak-free and perfectly bronzed for every skin tone. •
- Exfoliate: Use a gentle body scrub to keep your skin smooth and soft.
- Moisturize: Apply a rich body cream after your shower to lock in hydration and enhance your glow.
4. The Finishing Touch: Holiday Glam
Once your skin is prepped and glowing, it’s time for makeup magic. Our makeup artists at POUT can help you create a look that shines—whether that’s a bold red lip, shimmering eyes, or natural radiance.

5. Keep the Glow Going
After all the festivities, treat your skin to a little recovery. Use a gentle cleanser, hydrating mask, and nourishing serum to help your skin reset.
And remember—glowing skin isn’t just for the holidays. Our team can help you build a skincare routine that keeps your complexion radiant year-round.
