We all know that Christmas is about gifting to your loved ones but it’s a good excuse to treat yourself too. Leave the socks and scarves for your mum to get you and buy yourself a little something that will make you feel better in the morning after a late party or too much egg nog. Here are a few things that are on our personal skincare wish list.
Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
Avocados aren’t just for mashing on toast, they are also full of antioxidants so great for the skin. This cream is soothing and calming and goes some way to reducing those post-party bags. Get it here.
Biotherm Aqua Pure Flash Mask
We love a Sunday morning home spa session and there’s no better way to start the day for your face than a mask soaked with moisturiser that you can leave on whilst you catch up with the news and drink your tea. Fifteen minutes well spent in anyone’s book we think. Available via this link.
Nuori Infinity Bio Serum
You really should be using a serum every morning to counter ageing and blemishes but many people find retinol (used in a lot of products) leaves their skin too sensitive. This one from Nuori uses a 100% naturally synthesised alternative that has all the benefits but none of the irritants. Get one on Nuori’s website.
Apeer Renewing Body Scrub
A body scrub once a week not only makes your skin softer but also has an invigorating effect that can really wake you up. This one uses crushed apricot stones and volcanic rock to slough off dead skin cells whilst aloe vera juice soothes at the same time. Available here.
Arket Body Wash
We love Arket body wash and have used it for years but this autumn sees the launch of a new range based on colours and their related aromas. They are all lovely but we particularly like the Album one with its woody and spicy smell – perfect for winter! To get one, visit Arket’s website.
L:A Bruket Hand Scrub
Hands need special attention during winter with cold weather bike rides doing their worst. Hand cream is fair enough for day-to-day use but once a week, a good scrub with this algae hand peel is hugely restorative and a real treat. The aroma is fantastic too. Available here.
