The To-die-for Tonic

The Skin-loving Shot
If you want to help your loved one upgrade their skincare routine with must-have ingredients – like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid – look no further. This essential serum uses an effective, non-irritating version of vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate or THD) to hydrate, illuminate, and replenish the skin in a gentle way. It will earn you some serious brownie points.

The Squeaky Clean Cleanser
LAMELLE Luminesce Brightening Cleanse
This soap-free face wash is the perfect gift because it thoroughly yet gently cleanses the skin. It contains yarrow and lemon balm extracts which help to soothe irritated skin. It also contains mallow and peppermint which help to soften and tone simultaneously. The real stars of the show are the peptides that are trapped in the skin during cleansing, from where they stop pigment from forming, thereby preventing future damage. A pretty great Christmas present, if we do say so ourselves.

This miracle soap-free and paraben-free cleanser has 2 superpowers: it lightly exfoliates to prep the skin for other treatments, and a botanical complex soothes and refreshes to reveal bouncy, even skin in just 4 weeks! We like those odds – and so will your friends and family.

The Bang-for-your-buck Cleansing Butter
ELEMIS Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter
This buttery cleanser removes every last bit of makeup and daily dirt. The product is fragrance, sulphate, and mineral oil-free and uses a unique blend of pumpkin enzymes, acerola cherry, and mango butter to brighten, nourish, and hydrate the skin. The superfood formula can be used as a daily cleanser, a deep-cleaning mask, or a hydrating makeup remover. The gift that keeps on giving.
The Oooh-so-good Facial Oil
With the help of magical ingredients like mongongo and baobab oil, this serum will reawaken the skin’s natural glow. Another secret weapon is the addition of CBD which provides moisture and adds plumpness without weighing down the skin. The ultimate gift for a glow-chaser.

The Oh-so-glowy Cream
This (Christmas) miracle cream contains light-diffusing spheres and pearlescent particles to give skin luminance and radiance. It’s basically an Instagram filter in a bottle.
