It’s the holidays! That means it’s time to treat yourself. Yes, you can buy gifts for your loved ones, but why neglect yourself? You also need some TLC, and most importantly, so does your skin! Wintertime is always harsh on skin, making it dry and flaky. Some extra love to your skin can make all the difference. Here are 3 holiday gifts to give your skin.

 

Splurge on a Quality Product

 

What better way to do so than to splurge on a quality skincare product that will make all the difference? Nourish your skin with the supersized version of our #1 bestselling serum – the Vital C Hydrating Anti-Aging Serum! It packs a punch by helping to soften the appearance of wrinkles, helping to support the look of healthy skin elasticity and fight off the negative visible effects of environmental aggressors. It does so thanks to key ingredients hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Hyaluronic acid helps to lock in moisture to keep skin hydrated, while vitamin C, when applied topically, helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles due to its ability to help the skin produce collagen[1].  You can use this serum regularly, morning and night, for best results. Serums typically have high concentrations of active ingredients and are designed to deliver those ingredients to the skin. Apply serums on cleansed skin before you apply your moisturizer.

 

Give Yourself a 5-Day Facial

 

Hydrated skin is healthy, plump, and less likely to show wrinkles and fine lines, so it’s in your best interest to always keep skin well moisturized. With a 5-day facial, you can give your skin a burst of hydration to make it look plump and bouncy. It’s also a relaxing and therapeutic thing to do because you’ll be taking some time for yourself and your needs. And what could be a better gift from you to you? We recommend using the I MASK Anti-Aging Hydrogel Sheet Mask (pack of 5) on a daily basis for five days to fully reap its rewards. This mask contains an infusion of botanicals, peptides, and antioxidants that team up to support the appearance of smooth and radiant skin.[2][3] Japanese-sourced waters are high in minerals and provide hydration and nourishment. The newly improved hydrogel design also offers a better grip onto the face to prevent slippage. The mask stays on your face more securely so that all the beneficial ingredients have the chance to absorb into your skin. Prior to using this mask, cleanse your skin with a foaming or oil facial cleanser (you can even do a bit of chemical or physical exfoliation), then find yourself a quiet place, turn on some soothing music, and apply the mask. The next 15-20 minutes are yours to bask in glorious silence and relax.

 

Have a Relaxing Spa Day

 

The 5-day facial is a great start to a relaxing moment to yourself, but if you want to go a step further, consider a full spa day. Before the hectic holidays begin, this is a great way to relax and recharge. As fun as they are, the holidays can also be incredibly busy and very stressful. Giving yourself the gift of a spa day will make all the necessary preparations you have to do for the holidays that much more doable. And you won’t be completely frazzled while you do them, either. You can also either plan a spa day before the start of the holidays or after. OR BOTH! Before the start of the holidays, a spa day gives you the opportunity to recharge. After the start of the holidays, a spa day gives you the opportunity to unwind. Either way, it’s a great chance for rejuvenation. After all you’ve done during the holiday season, YOU’VE EARNED IT.
