Want that holiday glow-ho-ho? Here is one expert's top picks
The chaos of the holiday season is the perfect excuse to indulge in some self-care but how do you find the time? These solution-based skincare picks might just bring on the glow!
I’ve been covering beauty for nearly 15 years and my favorite skincare ingredient is Vitamin C. This Nip+Fab kit has everything you need to easily incorporate this powerhouse ingredient into your routine. The cleanser contains green tea to brighten, calm and hydrate the skin. The gentle scrub with Vitamin C helps to correct hyperpigmentation and lighten dark spots, and their 15-minute sheet mask reduces enlarged pores, regulates oil production and plumps up fine lines. This is a vitamin regimen your skin will drink up!
If you wake up feeling puffy in the morning, The Skin Gym Ice Facial Kit is definitely for you! The ice roller triggers lymphatic drainage to tighten and de-puff in minutes. Massage skin by rolling in short upward strokes and finish with the Hydra Youth Serum with marine algae, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to hit your beauty quota before you’ve even finished your coffee.
Nothing beats a relaxing steam facial at the spa, but let’s get real, that’s not a day-to-day luxury for most. This sheet mask self-warms once applied, to increase circulation, moisturize and plump skin within one use. The holidays are stressful, but this gives you a spa-like experience without the price tag.
Microdermabrasion is one of the few dermatologist-approved at-home treatments that promises you quick results! We’re loving this two-in-one MIO microdermabrasion device that uses a diamond cut tip to resurface the skin which encourages new cell growth with consistent use. It also includes suction extraction tips that target congested areas to purify and minimize clogged pores. How’s that for scraping together enough time for some self-care?
If your lips are feeling the effects of the chilly weather, this set is a festive treat that will gently exfoliate, hydrate and brighten – and it comes in a cozy eggnog scent! The fun silicone lip-shaped scrubber exfoliates and boosts circulation and the vegan balm formulated with agave and almond oil locks in hydration. Sweet!
