Holiday Skincare Wishlist: The Best of The Best

We know that every skincare aficionado has a wishlist on each of the major skincare retail sites. We also know that when the holiday season comes around, this wishlist doubles in size because of all the new releases. The best product guides are all over the press right now, recommending shoppers on where they should spend their money this year. And well, since the holidays are when dreams come true, we’ve decided to treat ourselves to a few items on those lists that we’ve been dying to try. 

So, let’s dive into our ultimate, coveted skincare wishlist for this festive season.

1.  Dr Jart 10 Face Mask Must-Haves Gift Set

Dr Jart is one brand we have been keeping a close eye on, and there’s no time like the present to try it out for the first time.

These Korean beauty masks are the ultimate in skincare luxury, and we can’t wait to apply one while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying a relaxing evening at home. This set of masks is available to purchase on their own site for $68.

2. Fresh Hydrating Skincare Set 

Winter skin can always use extra hydration and moisture, so we love this simple but effective four-step skincare routine in a box from Fresh. The products featured in the set are:

• 0.5 fl oz/ 15 ml Soy pH-Balanced Hydrating Face Wash
• 3.30 fl oz/ 100 ml Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner
• .67 fl oz/ 20 ml Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum
• 1.60 fl oz/ 50 ml Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Moisturizer

The hero ingredients of these products are:

3. Aloe and cucumber to soothe and hydrate
4. Soy proteins to improve skin elasticity and promote a healthy complexion
5. Hyaluronic acid to attract and maintain moisture
6. Rose fruit extract for toning
7. Squalane to soothe and protect
8. Damask rose extract to strengthen the skin barrier

This skincare set is the ultimate in hydration, and these essentials will keep you going all through the winter months. Find this set in the Fersh online store for $59, along with several other of their best selling skincare gift sets.

3. TheraFace Mask — Therabody 

Red light face masks are all the rage at the moment — and with good reason. This particular mask, by Therabody, uses a breakthrough FDA-approved LED skincare mask to deliver effective, full-face red, infrared, and blue light. Some other amazing features include:

• Tension-relieving vibration therapy,
• Hands-free, easy-to-use application, and
• The promise of firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin with a visible reduction in fine lines and dark spots in as little as eight weeks.

We love skincare treatments that allow us to multitask, which the TheraFace mask certainly does. Give yourself a mani, catch up on overdue work, or read your favorite book while the mask does the hard work for you. You can get your own TheraFace mask for $599 on the TheraBody site.

5. African Beauty Butter Collection Deluxe Tin — 54 Thrones 

Lotion is a must all year round, but if you don’t have a tube in your purse during the winter months, your hands will suffer. With this 54 Thrones set, not only will you get a pack of five purse-sized lotions (1.7 oz/ 50 ml) but a gorgeous tin to keep them all in, too. How could you resist these magnificent scents?

• Egyptian Lavender and Moroccan Mint
• Kenyan Hibiscus and Moroccan Rose

• Ugandan Vanilla and Ethiopian Honey

The hero ingredients in these silky, creamy hand butters are:

• Baobab Oil, which works on softening skin and keeping the skin barrier healthy, and
• Jojoba Oil, which is a lightweight, vitamin-rich oil that penetrates deeply to nourish and protect the skin.
