Let It Glow: 8 Holiday Essentials for a Season of Radiance

Ready or not, it’s time to start getting holiday party ready. And part of prepping for the festive season ahead means ensuring you are as merry and bright on the outside as you are on the inside. While glittery outfits and sparkly accessories can help, there’s arguably nothing quite like radiant skin to complete your look.

Keep reading for all the best skincare products and makeup must-haves for achieving head-to-toe radiance all season long. Plus, you’ll find glowing skin tips with each courtesy of our Director of Education, Rosalba Martone.

High Potency Classics Nutritive Cleanser

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “For more radiant results, always cleanse with cool water. Not only is this less likely to strip skin of essential moisture or compromise skin's natural barrier, but it also instantly energizes. Then, remember to pat dry, never rub.” 

Set your skin up for optimal radiance with our nourishing facial cleanser. This gentle gel cleanser quickly and effectively removes excess oil, debris and impurities without stripping the skin. Packed with antioxidant-rich Alpha-Lipoic Acid, exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and our unique firming and hydrating copper complex, it softens and conditions dry, thirsty skin while perfectly preparing it for the subsequent steps in your regimen.

Cold Plasma Plus+ Concentrated Treatment Sheet Mask

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Place your sheet mask in the fridge for 10-15 minutes prior to applying to the skin for an invigorating and energizing experience.”

Once cleansed, it’s time to infuse your complexion with instant radiance. Formulated with a concentrated dose of our proven and potent Cold Plasma Plus+ sciences, this innovative 2-piece sheet mask promotes the most visible signs of healthy, youthful-looking skin faster than ever before. Together, Vitamin C Ester, copper tripeptide and phospholipids reduce dullness, uneven texture, uneven tone, discoloration and loss of firmness to leave skin feeling immediately renewed and rejuvenated.

Cold Plasma Plus+ Advanced Serum Concentrate

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Apply to slightly damp skin to help promote increased absorption of your serums.”

Follow the multitasking mask with this nourishing serum to further treat skin to the power of Cold Plasma Plus+. Formulated with our signature sciences, along with moisture barrier-supporting omegas 3, 6 and 9, this advanced serum concentrate promotes the 9 most visible signs of healthy, youthful looking skin to further enhance the benefits of the treatment mask for maximum results.

High Potency Face Finishing & Firming Radiant Moisturizer

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “After using Chia Body Oil, apply onto your collarbones and shins to accentuate them, providing an even more radiant finish to the skin.”

Seal in all the aforementioned benefits with this rose-scented, illuminating moisturizer and your skin will be destined for true radiance. This limited-edition version of our bestselling moisturizer instantly transforms the look of dull skin by delivering a lit-from-within glow. Powered by firming DMAE, nourishing vitamin E and hydrating kukui nut seed oil, you’ll show off a healthy, luminous complexion all season long.

Essential Fx Acyl-Glutathione Chia Body Oil

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Use in the shower after body wash while skin is still wet. This will allow the oil to lock in more moisture, especially when showering in hot water, which can be drying for the skin.”

Since we’ve got your skincare routine covered from the chin-up, it’s time to work our way down. After all, skin nourishment doesn’t stop at your face, so prioritizing products like this hydrating body oil will help carry that unmatched radiance from head to toe. This fast-absorbing dry body oil immediately conditions the driest skin (think elbows, knees and ankles) with essential moisture and intense nourishment. With a combination of skin-smoothing Acyl-Glutathione and a vitamin F blend, including chia seed oil, this nutrient-packed essential replenishes thin, fragile skin for a more supple, tighter appearance all over.

No Makeup Highlighter

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Mix this with your foundation for an all-over glow. Then add additional dots to the high points of the face to create a lit-from-within radiance.”

Now that your skin is radiant from head to toe, it’s time for your makeup glow-up. Add this dewy, liquid-gel highlighter to your beauty regimen for an instant, subtle luminosity and definition. It’s a sheer, blendable formula with skin-improving ingredients like Vitamin C Ester and Chinese ginger plant extract to visibly improve dullness and discoloration over time. In doing so, you’ll achieve seamless application for a naturally glowing complexion.

No Makeup Lipstick

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Using your fingertips, dab a small amount to the apples of the cheeks for an instant pick-me-up. This will create a natural, monochromatic look when used together on both the cheeks and lips.”

Cue lip care essentials. Inject a pop of color into your makeup look with this cushiony, skincare-infused lipstick in our festive Wine shade that’s perfect for the cold months and suitable for all skin tones. This solid-to-serum formula provides a subtle glossy tint while neuropeptides and hyaluronic acid (HA) simultaneously smooth, condition and hydrate. The result is a pout that instantly pops while getting visibly smoother and plumper over time. 

No Makeup Lip Oil

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “For the illusion of a naturally fuller pout, start by applying No Makeup Lipstick all over the lips and top with No Makeup Lip Oil just in the center.”

Complete the look with our coveted radiant lip oil in Plum. It provides a hint of tint and luminous, non-sticky shine that’ll have everyone at your festivities green with holiday envy. Bonus: like in our lipstick, skin-smoothing peptides and hydrating HA work together to replenish and condition lips with essential moisture, leaving them visibly smooth, plump and supple — ready for a kiss under the mistletoe.
