3 Ways to Get That Holiday Glow

The holiday season is just around the corner, and with it comes the promise of cozy gatherings, festive feasts, and, of course, lots of photo ops.

But before you step into the spotlight, why not make sure your skin is glowing as brightly as your holiday spirit? Whether you're prepping for a New Year's Eve party or just want to feel radiant during family celebrations, achieving that healthy, dewy glow starts with the right skincare routine and professional dermatological treatments.

In this guide, we'll walk you through simple tips and tricks to give your skin the holiday glow-up it deserves—no filter needed.

1. AlphaRet Collection

Incorporating a retinoid into your skincare routine can truly transform your complexion. But let’s be honest—no one wants to deal with flaky, peeling skin during the holiday season. That’s where SkinBetter Science’s AlphaRet comes in. It delivers all the benefits of a prescription-strength tretinoin, without the irritation. The unique formula combines retinol with lactic acid, making it not only effective but also gentle on the skin. This powerful combination exfoliates while promoting a smoother, healthier, and more radiant complexion—just in time for all those holiday photos.

The AlphaRet collection offers a range of products tailored to different skin types and needs. For all skin types, the AlphaRet Overnight Cream is a tried-and-true favorite, packed with peptides and antioxidants to nourish and enhance your complexion. If you’re looking for something a bit stronger, the Intensive AlphaRet Overnight Cream adds glycolic acid to boost exfoliation and accelerate skin renewal. For those with oily or acne-prone skin, the AlphaRet Clearing Serum is the go-to option. This lightweight formula is infused with acne-fighting ingredients to target breakouts without overwhelming the skin. And for a spa-like experience at home, the AlphaRet Peel Pads (a fan favorite here at Roseville Dermatology) are perfect for a few nights a week, giving your skin a gentle, effective at-home facial.

2. P-TIOX

Next up, and no surprise here, is Skinceuticals P-TIOX—one of the latest innovations in skincare, and truly a game changer. This peptide-powered serum has been clinically proven to improve the appearance of nine different types of facial lines, delivering that coveted glass skin glow in just seven days. The advanced peptide complex, combined with actives like 5% polyhydroxy acid, 5% niacinamide, and 1% laminaria extract, works synergistically to deliver results that feel like a topical Botox treatment. It’s the perfect complement to Botox, Dysport, or Daxxify treatments, enhancing your skin's smoothness and radiance from the inside out.

3. Neurotoxin Injections

Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify are all popular neurotoxin treatments that help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, giving your skin that refreshed, youthful look—just in time for the holidays. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more relaxed appearance. Botox has been the go-to option for years, with a well-established reputation for targeting crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. Dysport, a close relative, works a bit faster and spreads a little more evenly, making it a great option for larger areas, like the forehead. Daxxify is the latest addition to the neurotoxin family, offering a longer-lasting effect—up to six months or more—making it ideal for those who want fewer touch-ups. Whether you choose Botox, Dysport, or Daxxify, these treatments can help you achieve a radiant, wrinkle-free appearance just in time for all your holiday festivities.
