12 Days of Christmas Skincare Countdown

December is here, and we’re officially in the countdown to Christmas! While many of us love a classic advent calendar filled with chocolate or little surprises, why not create your own version—just for your skin?

While this isn’t a full 24-day calendar (we’re going with the 12 Days of Christmas vibe), I promise these skincare treats will feel like gifts for your skin.

Each day, we’re adding small, simple steps to your existing skincare routine—because I know you already have your cleanse-and-moisturize routine down to an art. These little extras will help you glow even brighter this season.

Here’s how to treat yourself (and your skin) to a festive little gift every day leading up to the big day! 🎁

Day 1: Exfoliate and Refresh – Prep for Your Holiday Glow 🌟

Kick off the countdown by exfoliating dull, dry skin and preparing for those holiday photos! Use a gentle scrub after cleansing to reveal a smooth, radiant complexion that’s perfect for the season.

Day 2: Add a Glow Boost 🍊

After cleansing, apply our Vitamin C Serum to brighten your skin and give it that festive glow. You’ll be sparkling brighter than the holiday lights, and you'll keep those holiday party photos filter-free. 😉

Day 3: Eye Treat Time 👀

Relax like you’re on a winter getaway. Grab some chilled spoons or reusable eye pads, rest them over your eyes, and let them de-puff and refresh you—because no one has time for tired eyes when there’s holiday fun to be had!

Day 4: Treat Yourself to a DIY Steam Facial 🫧

After cleansing, fill a bowl with warm water and add a drop or two of essential oil, like lavender or eucalyptus. Drape a towel over your head and steam for 5–10 minutes. It opens up your pores and feels like a mini spa day at home!

Day 5: Indulge in Body Love 🧴

Your face isn’t the only thing that deserves pampering. After your shower, smooth on our Fresh Collagen Body Milk. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and leaves your skin silky soft—perfect for snuggling into cozy sweaters.

Day 6: Lip Love 💋

Give your lips some love with a quick DIY sugar and honey lip scrub. Massage gently, rinse, and follow with your favorite balm to keep your lips soft and ready for mistletoe magic!

Day 7: Sun Protection Reminder ☀️

Snow may be falling, but don’t skip your SPF! Keep your skin protected all year round, even when it’s chilly outside. It’s the gift your future self will thank you for.

Day 8: Take it to the Neck 🫶

Your neck and décolletage deserve some attention, too! Use our Ocean Caviar Face Cream here for an extra boost of hydration and firming benefits.

Day 9: Sheet Mask Night 🎭

Pop on a hydrating sheet mask while you curl up for your favorite holiday movie marathon. It’s a win-win: you get to relax from the busy week and treat your skin all at once.

Day 10: Give Yourself a Facial Massage 🌙

End your day with a relaxing facial massage. After applying your favorite serum or oil, massage upward with your fingertips. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a busy day of holiday shopping.

It helps reduce puffiness, improves circulation, and feels oh-so-relaxing.

Day 11: Nourish Your Hands 🤲

Winter air can leave hands feeling dry and cracked. Treat your hands to a thick hand cream (or your moisturizer) before bed and slip on cotton gloves. When you wake up, your hands will feel as soft as your favorite holiday sweater.

Day 12: Holiday Glow-Up Finale 🍾

End your countdown by taking a moment to admire your glowing, radiant skin. Celebrate with your favorite holiday beverage and a bit of sparkle—whether it’s a spritz of hydrating mist or a touch of shimmer. You’ve earned this holiday glow, inside and out!

🎁 Holiday Bonus Tip: Share the skincare love! These small treats make great gift ideas for friends, family, or even as stocking stuffers for your holiday besties.

Cheers to a season full of glowing skin and holiday cheer!
