Ready, Set, Glow!

The holidays are coming, and let’s be real—your skin needs to be ready. You want to walk into those parties glowing like the star on top of the tree, not hiding behind layers of makeup trying to cover up a skincare disaster. So how do you prep your skin to be the envy of every holiday gathering? Let’s break it down step by step, because your skin deserves more than a last-minute slap of foundation.

Step 1_ Exfoliate, Baby!

First things first_ dead skin is not festive. You gotta get rid of the dull, dry layer that’s been hanging out since summer. Think of it as de-cluttering your skin’s surface. A gentle exfoliator, like my La Fleur mask, will do the trick. This mask is loaded with bentonite clay, green tea, and calendula flowers, which not only clear out the old but also give your skin a fresh start. It’s like hitting the reset button—so the new, glowing skin can shine through.

DIY Sugar Scrub Recipe: Want to level up your exfoliation? Whip up a simple sugar scrub to slough off that dead skin from head to toe.

• ½ cup organic cane sugar

• ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)

• 1 tbsp honey

• 5 drops of your favorite essential oil (Think spa self-care bliss)

Mix it all up, then massage it onto damp skin in circular motions. Rinse off, and BAM—you’re already halfway to glowing holiday skin.

Step 2_ Hydrate Like It’s Your Job

Cold air = dry AF skin. And trust me, nothing dulls your glow like parched skin. Hydration needs to be your best friend this season, and that’s where my Everything Oil or Glow Body Butter comes in. These are like a tall drink of water for your skin. Loaded with calendula infused avocado oil or some deeply moisturizing raw caoco butter, with so many other skin-loving nutrients, it’s your one-stop shop for keeping your face & body moisturized and happy.

These not only lock in moisture, but it also helps repair damage, reduce redness, and even out skin tone. The best part? They are super light, so you’re not walking around feeling like an oil slick. You’re glowing, not greasy.

DIY Cleansing Oil Recipe: Want to create your own cleansing oil for that extra hydration boost? Here’s a simple recipe to cleanse and hydrate all in one go_

• 2 tbsp camellia oil (amazing for hydration)

• 2 tbsp jojoba oil (balances oil production)

• 1 tbsp rosehip oil (hello, glow!)

• 5 drops tea tree oil (optional, great for acne-prone skin)

Massage this blend onto your face for about 30 seconds, then gently wipe it away with a warm, damp cloth. Your skin will feel clean, soft, and incredibly hydrated.

Step 3_ Mask It Up!

Let’s talk masks. I don’t mean the scary ones you wear on Halloween—I’m talking about a luxury mask that treats your skin like royalty. A moisture mask, like my Luscious, is the perfect companion for a cozy night in. Slather it on, grab a glass of wine, and binge-watch your favorite Netflix show while it works its magic. Luscious doubles as both a makeup remover and a moisture mask, so it's versatile AF.

It’s self-care, skincare, and pure luxury rolled into one. Give it 15-20 minutes to sink in, and by the end of your chill session, your skin will feel plump, soft, and ready to face any holiday party (even the awkward ones).

DIY Moisturizing Mask Recipe: Want to mix up your own mask? Try this simple, hydrating mask you can make with stuff from your kitchen_

• 2 tbsp raw honey (a natural humectant)

• 1 tbsp avocado (packed with healthy fats)

• 1 tsp olive oil (for that extra hydration boost)

Mix these ingredients together and apply a generous layer to your face. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Your skin will be soft, nourished, and holiday-ready.

Step 4_ Stay Consistent

Here’s the secret no one wants to tell you_ that glow doesn’t happen overnight. You can’t wait until the day before your holiday event and expect magic. Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. So start now and stay consistent with your routine. Cleanse, hydrate, exfoliate, mask—rinse and repeat. The more you nurture your skin now, the more it will thank you when the holiday season hits.

One of the most important things you can do is stick with your routine, no matter how busy things get. Trust me, I know the holiday rush is real, but don’t slack on your skincare. A consistent routine will give you the kind of glow that makes people ask, “What’s your secret?”

DIY Bath Salts Recipe: Want to give your whole body some love? Try this soothing, skin-softening bath salt recipe_

• 1 cup Epsom salt

• ½ cup sea salt

• ¼ cup baking soda

• 10 drops of lavender essential oil

• 5 drops of eucalyptus essential oil

Add this to a warm bath, soak for 20 minutes, and let the salts work their magic. Not only will your muscles relax, but your skin will be soft, smooth, and glowing all over.

Ready to Glow?

So there you have it—your ultimate guide to getting your skin ready for the holiday season. Exfoliate, hydrate, mask, and most importantly, stay consistent. By the time those holiday parties roll around, you’ll be walking in with glowing skin and zero worries. And don’t be surprised if everyone starts asking what you’ve been doing because, honey, your skin is going to be that good.

Make this holiday season your most radiant yet. Because you deserve to glow, babe.
