Expert Festive Hair Care Prep Tips from Hair Gain

Deep Conditioning Treatment
To ensure your hair is hydrated and healthy for the festive season, indulge in a regular deep conditioning treatment. Use our nourishing miracle treatment hair mask once a week leading up to the holidays. This will help restore moisture, deeply hydrate, repair damage, and give your hair a silky, shiny finish with mirror like shine. It’s proven to reduce hair shed by 60% from the first use and can be applied and massaged into your scalp through to your roots. Pair with our scalp massager for deeper dispersion and diffusion of the mask and to increase blood circulation to the scalp.

Eat Right & Supplement

Excessive sweets, drinking, poor sleeping habits, and consuming unhealthy meals can all have a negative impact on your hair. In the run up to the festivities and whenever your social calendars have visible breaks, make sure you follow a healthy and nutritious diet rich in vitamins that will nourish your hair from within and take a hair supplement to support your diet and feed your follicles at source. Our hair capsules and gummies are powered by AnaGain™ which is derived from organic peashoots and has been clinically proven to stimulate hair growth for thicker, fuller and healthier looking hair.

Re-energise & Volumise
With all the styling that comes with nights out, christmas lunches and parties, it's crucial to protect your hair from heat damage. Give your locks a break from blow drying and use a dry shampoo to extend the time between wash days. Our non-aerosol Peptide Puff™ Dry Shampoo is dermatologically tested, suitable for all hair types and packed with active ingredients to care for your hair while absorbing all oil, grease and odours. It’s targeted puff applicator and compact packaging makes it the perfect styling aid to pack in your bag and take your hair from work to party mode with minimal effort. Plus it's a great way to add volume, body and texture to your hair and roots while out and about enjoying the festivities.

Expert Festive Skin Care Prep Tips from Sienna X

Use fast-absorbing serums or oils to deeply nourish

With the colder weather approaching, you want to ensure that your skin is super hydrated and nourished. Look at switching out your lightweight products for heavier alternatives, such as a fast-absorbing serum or facial oils. The Sienna X Facial Oil, underneath your regular face lotion to prevent your skin from becoming dehydrated and is 100% natural. This unique blend of 5 botanical lipids harnesses a powerful and patented active ingredient, White Lupin Seeds, which have been proven in clinical studies to improve the firmness, elasticity and facial contour of the skin with regular use.

Indulge in at least one face mask per week

Whether you want a clarifying, hydrating or even detoxifying face mask – they’re fabulous for enhancing your self-care and adding extra attention to your skin. We’re a little biased, but our favourites are the Sienna X Clay Mask & Miracle Mask. It helps to achieve a clean, healthy and glowing complexion. Indulge in a deep pore cleansing treatment that helps to fight dehydration and banish blemishes. Our Award-Winning Miracle Mask is a revolutionising 3-in-1 moisture hit in a mask with 10% natural Manuka Honey. This mask will help your skin appear instantly brighter and blemish-free.

Remember to apply SPF always

We know that it’s not always beautifully sunny, especially in the UK Winters, but SPF is a crucial element to your skincare routine. Even on days when the sun isn’t out, you still need protection – particularly on the delicate skin of the face, an area which often first begins to show signs of premature ageing. UV rays can burn through clouds, so SPF should still be applied to protect skin from burning and prevent sun damage. Too much exposure to UV rays can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations. The Day Cream and The Eye Cream from our award-winning Skincare collection include SPF30 and SPF15 respectively so you can go makeup free with the confidence that your skin is sun-safe.
