Christmas and New Year bring with them a string of festivities, parties and events. We party hard and we party non-stop and with it comes skin stress and the never ending need to look gorgeous and glowing! The good news is that we can do a lot with natural ingredients to create the magical effect that makes our skin look party perfect. I believe no amount of make up or concealers can ever hide tired, dull and damaged skin. So, look after it and watch it glow!
