“Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.”
—Rosalind Russell

The Season of Glow:

The holidays are in full swing—parties to attend, family photos to capture, and last-minute plans we somehow always manage to squeeze in. If we’re being honest, most of us are running on little sleep, juggling busy work schedules, kids’ activities, and wondering how we’re going to get everything done.

And while this season is all about giving (which Ilove—it’s my love language), it’s also important to pause and ask:Have I taken care of me?This time of year, many of us notice more under-eye bags, a few extra wrinkles, or skin that just looks dull and tired.

The good news? You don’t need downtime or drastic changes to look refreshed. Achieving a beautiful Holiday Glow can be subtle, natural, and confidence-boosting. Quick, effective treatments can help you look rested, radiant, and photo-ready—without anyone knowing you did a thing.

And let’s be honest… we all have that person we see every year and think, I wish I looked that good.This year? They’ll be the ones wishing they looked like you.

With that said, here are 7 active ways you can get your Festive Look

1. Why Holiday Treatment Should Be Quick & Strategic

 Let’s be real—everyone loves to say,“Make time for yourself,”but who actually has the time during the holidays? Between travel plans, packed calendars, last-minute shopping, and Christmas Eve gatherings right around the corner, downtime can feel almost impossible. I know for me, the idea of taking days to recover just isn’t realistic this time of year. That said, I still want results—and I want them to be noticeable. Not just something I see in the mirror, but something others notice too when I walk into a room.

If your schedule looks anything like mine this holiday season, you’ll appreciate treatments that fit into real life—ones that deliver visible results quickly without slowing you down or adding stress. Whether you’re brand new to treatments or simply keeping up with what you already love, it truly doesn’t matter. There’s a holiday treatment designed to meet you where you are and help you look refreshed, confident, and festive, even in the middle of the busiest season of the year.

2. Instant-Glow Treatments (Same Day or Next Day Results)

So what treatments am I talking about?

`1. SkinWave: (Can even do DAY OF)

• Deep cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration

• Leaves skin plump, dewy, and makeup-ready

• Perfect before parties or family photos

  2. Nano Peel: (Can do 2 days PRIOR)

• Brightens dull skin

• Improves texture and tone

• Minimal peeling, maximum glow

  3. Dermaplaning: (Can do DAY OF)

• Removes dead skin and peach fuzz

• Makeup applies smoother

• Skin looks instantly brighter

These same-day or next-day results are some of my absolute favorites. Many of us grew up in a world of instant gratification, and when it comes to feeling confident in your skin, sometimes waiting just isn’t an option. Life is busy, schedules are packed, and special events tend to pop up before we even have time to plan. That’s why these treatments are such a win—they deliver an immediate refresh that helps you look brighter, feel more confident, and walk out feeling like yourself again. There’s something so satisfying about seeing results right away, and honestly… who doesn’t love that?

3. Subtle Refres Treatments (1-2 Weeks Before Events) {Perfect for New Years}

1. Botox / Neurotoxin Touch-Ups:

• Softens fine lines without freezing

• Great for forehead, crow’s feet, and between brows

• Results peak around 7–14 days

2. Lip Flip or Lip Hydration Treatments:

• Enhances shape without too much volume

• Perfect for a polished, natural look

3. SkinTyte or BBL HERO:

• Tightens skin and boosts collagen

• Improves redness, texture, and glow.

Now, even though I’m definitely someone who loves instant gratification, I also know that some things are truly worth waiting for. If you’re looking ahead to your New Year’s Eve plans and want to walk in feeling extra confident, refreshed, and glowing, these treatments are such a great option. They may take a little time to fully show their results, but that gradual improvement is part of what makes them so special—and so worth it. There’s something really empowering about knowing your skin is continuing to improve as the big night approaches. Starting 2026 feeling confident, refreshed, and truly your best just sets the tone for the year ahead, and I know that’s exactly how I plan to ring in the new year.5. Not Ready for a Treatment? Glow at Home

There are many great ways to glow from home:

• Medical-grade skincare: SkinCeuticals P-TIOX and Triple Lipid Restore are my personal go-to essentials for keeping skin smooth, balanced, and healthy. Prefer ZO? Brightalive and AOX Serum are fantastic options—and they even give the skin a subtle, luminous shimmer.

  Vitamin C for instant brightness:A glow routine wouldn’t be complete without Vitamin C. SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic or Phloretin CF are staples I truly don’t go without—they’re key for brighter, more radiant skin.

  Hydration + SPF for healthy holiday skin:Jane Iredale skincare makeup can honestly transform your skin all on its own (that’s a whole blog post by itself). If you try one thing, make it the Hydration Spray—it’s a must. For SPF, I love SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense SPF 30 or ZO Sunscreen + Primer Broad-Spectrum SPF 30. You really can’t go wrong with either option.

  We carry all of these Glow-at-Home favorites right here in our Medical Spa Boutique, and we’d absolutely love for you to stop by and fill a stocking—whether it’s a little treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone you love.
