Holiday Beauty Buys: Top Skincare Picks from Dr. Sherry Ingraham

Dr. Sherry Ingraham featured JB SKRUB on the TV again, here's what she had to say:

The holidays are all about giving, and what better gift to give (or receive) than the gift of great skin? Recently on Houston Life, dermatologist Dr. Sherry Ingraham shared her top beauty and skincare picks for the season, focusing on budget-friendly options that really work.Whether you're dealing with winter dryness, looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for a hard-to-please teen, or wanting to add a little glow to your holiday look, Dr. Ingraham has you covered.

As the weather shifts from cold and rainy to humid, it can be tough to know which skincare regimen to follow. Dr. Ingraham advises that while you should generally stick to your routine, the key to surviving winter is adding extra moisture. The transition between indoor heat and outdoor cold can flare up eczema, dry skin, and redness.

Radiant, youthful skin is possible year-round. Dr. Ingraham recommends a few standout products to keep you glowing:

•RoC Eye Repair: 
This tool comes with a cooling applicator that you apply directly under your eyes. It’s fantastic for reducing under-eye circles and puffiness. Dr. Ingraham recommends it for both men and women, noting it's a great grocery store find.

•Retinoid Stick: 
This genius roll-on product can be used all over the face and even on the tops of your hands. It’s perfect for travel. For those over 40, a daily retinoid is highly recommended. If you have sensitive skin or are new to retinoids, start with an over-the-counter option like this one and use it every other day before working up to a prescription-strength formula.

A facial roller is a fantastic gift for anyone who wants a morning glow. Keep it in the freezer and roll it over your face to get the blood flowing and move lymphatic fluid. It’s especially helpful for those who wake up with puffy under-eyes or facial swelling.For an extra boost, pair your rolling routine with a caffeine-containing eye product. Caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, helping to get the blood moving and reducing puffiness.

If you're dealing with dry, itchy skin—a common complaint this time of year—Dr. Ingraham has some lifesavers:•Aquaphor Hand Covers: These little hand masks are perfect stocking stuffers, especially for those who wash their hands frequently.•La Roche-Posay Lipikar: If you step out of the shower and aren't sure what to apply first, this is the answer. Put it on your whole body to lock in moisture.•La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Spray: Layering is key. Spray this on, apply your eye mask, and then finish with lotion for ultimate hydration.•Aquaphor Healing Ointment: A true staple. Keep one in your bag and one by your bedside. It’s perfect for lips, elbows, and anywhere else that needs extra care.

Acne doesn't take a holiday, and the heavy moisturizers we use in winter can sometimes cause breakouts.

Dr. Ingraham's absolute favorite acne product is AO2 Clear, a hyperoxygenated water solution. She recommends it for all ages to kickstart the healing process. Simply wipe it on with a cotton round morning and night. It's effective for facial acne as well as body acne (like on the back).

When it comes to spot-treating, pimple patches are incredibly popular. But with so many on the market, what should you look for? Dr. Ingraham advises looking for patches containing colloid, which acts almost like artificial skin to heal the blemish.

This is where JB SKRUB shines!

Dr. Ingraham highlighted JB SKRUB pimple patches as a top choice. Often, parents struggle to find skincare products for teen boys who might be reluctant to use products marketed primarily toward girls.

•Natural Ingredients:
The products feature ingredients like chia and succinic acid, making them very natural and soothing.
