The Best Skincare For A Holiday Glow
Tis the season! As we rush through this busy time of invitations, events, shopping, traveling, and hosting loved ones, it’s important to keep skin looking its radiant best. Tammy’s award-winning holistic beauty remedies are formulated to maximize luminosity and deeply nourish all skin types, while delivering sensorial pleasure to calm the mind as well as the complexion. Here is Tammy’s guide to maintaining healthy, well-rested and glowing skin throughout the festive season.
Hydration: The Key to Holiday-ready Radiance
When it comes to dewy, luminous skin, moisture is paramount. During winter, our skin is especially susceptible to becoming dry from weather changes, stress, and travel. It’s so important to focus not only on delivering hydration deep into the skin but also on bolstering the skin’s natural moisture barrier to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
For the ultimate glow-bestowing moisture surge, our best-selling Quintessential Serum is indispensable. This ultra-concentrated blend, rich with nurturing Rose and Frankincense, feeds skin with radiance-boosting nutrients: simply press a few drops into skin after cleansing and you will see your complexion take on an instant lit-from-within aura. Follow with Intensive Repair Balm, our intensively hydrating moisturizer, which contains some of the most regenerative ingredients in the plant kingdom, including Helichrysum, White Lily and Lotus, to lock in moisture.
How to Achieve Luminous Skin that Shines in Every Photo
Hydrated, smooth skin reflects and bounces light—making it appear more glowing not only to the naked eye, but to a camera lens. To prep skin so that it will be photo-ready in all of your holiday snaps, begin with our award-winning Epi-Peel, a multi-tasking exfoliant, mask and peel in one. This incredibly effective yet gentle formula whisks away the dead cells that cause rough texture and dullness, leaving behind glassy, baby-soft skin. For a double-masking routine that will really illuminate your complexion, pair Epi-Peel with our Restorative Radiance Mask, a luxurious, creamy treatment mask made from a sumptuous blend of floral waters and beneficial botanicals, including Lotus, Baobab, Jasmine and Rose.

Stress Less: Clear Skin Strategies for the Holidays
The holiday season can render even the clearest skin more prone to breakouts and irritation. Whether it may be from indulging in rich food, or simply the stress of hectic days, skin can react with flares of redness or blemishes. Try washing skin with Purifying Cleansing Gel, which gently removes makeup and pore-clogging elements from reactive skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and soothed. Used two to three times weekly, our clay-based Purifying Luculent Mask draws out impurities with plant remedies including Fo-Ti and Great Burdock, botanicals which have been traditionally used for detoxification. Finally, apply a small amount of Clarifying Dermagel, a natural anti-blemish treatment with Thyme, Tea Tree, and Myrrh, to trouble spots daily.
Bright Eyes: How to Look Rested All Season Long
While I always encourage prioritizing rest, as it is truly essential to so many aspects of our well-being, the holiday season can wreak havoc on everyone’s sleep schedule. The fastest way to look awake and refreshed? Tap a pea-sized amount of Awakening Eye Gel gently around the orbital area with fingertips. The formula, which incorporates the wisdom of traditional European plant remedies, features vitamin-rich Eye Bright, decongestive Green Myrtle, revitalizing Carrot seed and cooling Elder Flower. For extra de-puffing, perform a simple lymphatic drainage massage under the eyes with our Gua Sha tool.
Overnight Glow Boost: Rejuvenate While You Sleep
Sleep is magic. Not only is it so restorative for mind, spirit, and energy, it is also during our cycles of deep rest that reparative hormones are released in the body and the skin regenerates itself. A nighttime ritual is the ultimate time to deliver hydration and nourishing ingredients that the skin can use for collagen production, simultaneously strengthening the moisture barrier and conjuring glow for the day to follow. For a sensorially indulgent, radiance-revving overnight treatment, apply pure Bulgarian Rose Water to skin with a cotton pad, following with Celestial Rose Crème, a deluxe balm that envelops skin in a velvety veil of restorative Rose and soothing Manuka Honey. You’ll awaken to soft, plump, glowing skin.
Your Holiday Glow Gameplan
When skin is replenished and tenderly cared for with loving botanicals, it will respond with visible health and radiance. But the most vital glow is that which comes from within. Begin your days with gratitude, reserve a few moments to meditate or to take a few deep breaths, go for walks in fresh air, and wind down with a calming ritual in the evenings. This is a textured season of joy and togetherness when we celebrate what is truly most valuable. Slow down with self-care, and cherish every moment of it.
