Alright Redmond… the holidays are creeping up on us like that one coworker who whispers instead of talking. They’re CLOSE. And if you’re anything like the rest of us, November hits and suddenly you’re knee-deep in peppermint mochas, forgetting what a vegetable is, and pretending stress doesn’t make your skin freak out like a houseplant in winter.
But THIS year? This year we’re going in prepared. We’re talking radiant, smooth, hydrated, glowing-like-you-actually-sleep skin, all thanks to some pre-holiday skincare prep from your beauty supply besties at ProForm Beauty Supply, serving Redmond and the whole Seattle area.
Let’s get into it. Time to protect your peace and your pores.
Why Pre-Holiday Skincare Actually Matters
Look — the holidays are fun, magical, and full of treats… but they’re also dehydrating, stressful, sugary, chaotic, and emotionally unpredictable. Basically, they’re like putting your skin through an obstacle course it never signed up for.
Between:
-
colder, drier Redmond air
-
holiday parties
-
late nights
-
stress munching
-
heaters blasting
-
that one relative asking “So what are you doing with your life?”
… your skin needs a plan. A strategy. A skincare Avengers team.
And that’s where we come in.
Step 1: Exfoliate Like You Mean It (But Don’t Go Full Sandpaper)
Before you start stacking serums, moisturizers, and magical potions, you gotta prep the canvas.
Exfoliation removes dead skin, brightens your complexion, and helps your products absorb like they’re auditioning for a skincare commercial.
But hey — don’t act wild with it.
Choose gentle exfoliants like:
-
lactic acid
-
enzyme exfoliators
-
mandelic acid
-
super fine scrubs
Skip anything that feels like you’re rubbing crushed gravel on your face.
(Your skin shouldn’t sound like Velcro when you touch it.)
At ProForm Beauty Supply, we carry exfoliating cleansers and pro-grade peels that get the job done without making your face cry.
Step 2: Hydration Season Is HERE
Redmond gets dry in fall and winter — your skin knows it, your lips know it, your knuckles definitely know it.
So now’s the time to level-up your moisturizing routine like:
✔️ Hyaluronic acid serums
✔️ Ceramide-rich creams
✔️ Hydrating gel + cream combos
✔️ Squalane-based moisturizers
If your face has ever felt tight like a drum? Yeah — that’s your sign.
Hydrated skin = glowy skin.
Glowy skin = compliments.
Compliments = holiday confidence.
Step 3: Mask Up (Not That Kind — the Fun Kind)
Sheet masks. Cream masks. Overnight masks. Gel masks.
Look, masks are like snacks for your face. And who doesn’t love snacks?
For a pre-holiday glow, grab masks that boost:
-
hydration
-
radiance
-
plumpness
-
calmness
Our ProForm Beauty Supply shelves are loaded with hydrating, brightening, and soothing options that make you look like you slept 12 hours even if you only slept… well, none.
Step 4: Lip Care = Mandatory
Because there is nothing worse than dry, flaky lips during holiday season.
You’re taking pictures. You’re drinking cider. You’re smiling at relatives. You’re kissing someone under mistletoe if you're lucky.
Your lips MUST be ready.
Grab:
-
a good lip scrub
-
a hydrating balm
-
a nourishing overnight lip mask
-
and keep one in every jacket pocket
Your future self will thank you.
Step 5: Don’t Skip SPF (Yes, Even Now… Yes, Even in Redmond)
People love saying “But it’s cloudy!”
Clouds don’t block UV. The sun doesn’t take holidays off.
Redmond might be gray, but UV rays still sneak through like ninjas.
So keep using:
-
SPF 30+
-
lightweight formulas
-
tinted SPF if you want extra glow
It protects your skin barrier and keeps you from premature aging.
Consider it your anti-wrinkle insurance policy.
Step 6: Lock In a Night Routine
Nighttime is when your skin does its best work.
It rests. Repairs. Regenerates. Ponders life. (Probably.)
At night, load up on:
-
retinol (if your skin tolerates it)
-
peptides
-
richer creams
-
hydrating serums
-
facial oils
Think of nighttime skincare like preparing your skin for battle the next day. You want it armored, moisturized, and glowing.
Step 7: Get Your Tools in Order
Holiday prep means stocking up, and ProForm Beauty Supply has all the tools you need:
-
jade rollers
-
gua sha stones
-
skincare spatulas
-
facial steamers
-
hydrating mists
-
pro-level cleaners
-
reusable eye masks
Add these into your routine and your glow-up becomes unstoppable.
Step 8: Body Care Matters Too
Your face is the star, but your body? It's the whole stage.
Don’t forget:
-
body scrubs
-
body butters
-
hydrating oils
-
gentle exfoliating mitts
And absolutely grab yourself:
-
cuticle oil
-
a hand cream
-
a foot moisturizer
Look, if your hands feel like sandpaper when shaking someone’s hand at a holiday event — they’re gonna judge you.
