2025 Skincare Check-In Challenge: LAST Week! - Don't forget hand + foot care

[TeamBIC]

Happy New Year, BIC! ✨ We’re stepping into 2025 with a crucial reminder: we must take special care of ourselves — this year and EVERY year. Some of us may already have set resolutions and/or stellar routines nailed down; regardless of where you are on your self-care journey, we could all use a few extra nudges and motivation to spend some extra time on ourselves! 🤝

Much like posts from previous years, we’ve come up with a list of weekly prompts to challenge you to strut your self-care skills. 💗 This time around we’ll be focused on all things skincare, because when our skin feels good, we feel GEWD. 🌟 We encourage you to participate and respond to the prompts that inspire you – and don’t be shy to share any other self-care tips and tricks along the way!

Week 1 (1/8 – 1/14): Curating the perfect rise and glow ☀ skincare routine to kick off your day 

Week 2 (1/15 – 1/21): Relaxing in your favorite face/eye mask(s)

Week 3 (1/22 – 1/28): Trying out tools to promote wellness (rollers, high tech tools, DIY massage . . .)

Week 4 (1/29 – 2/4): Adding some extra indulgence to your body care (baths, butters, oils, scrubs etc.) 🛀

Week 5 (2/5 – 2/11): Washing your makeup brushes, towels, pillowcases, etc. — whatever touches your GORG face 😘

Week 6 (2/12 – 2/18): Stimulating your scalp with treatments/serums (yes, this is skincare too!)

Week 7 (2/19 – 2/25): Sharing your favorite jumbo or refillable skincare goodies to get the best bang for your buck 🤑

Week 8 (2/26 – 3/4): Giving your hands and feet some extra love (masks, creams, exfoliants, etc.)

Tools sure do come in handy. 😃 @Amelliee That's excellent to hear your face mask wand has been so helpful.

Week 3 - I have been consistently using my theraface pro and loving the results of the light therapies and the microcurrent. My skin looks clearer, firmer and the percussion facial massager is a game changer for relaxation before my nighttime skincare! 

[CynthieLu]

I haven't heard of these devices before @ThenTheresPoe 🤩 they are really interesting. Your face mask is LED and Microcurrent all in one? 

[ThenTheresPoe]

It is so convenient because I have everything in one device! This is the theraface pro with multiple attachments, and it comes with an LED attachment that has 3 wavelengths(red/blue/infrared), a percussion facial feature like the theragun, and a microcurrent attachment. I wish Sephora carried the device too so I could tag it but I got it at best buy during the holiday season as a gift to self 😁

[CorgiMommy]

@ThenTheresPoe sounds like a facial every night!!

@TeamBIC Week 3 (1/22 – 1/28): Trying out tools to promote wellness (rollers, high tech tools, DIY massage . . I’ve been dealing with some systematic issues and swelling recently so have been doing a lot of massage and steaming to handle the aches and get some circulation going. my quartz and  jade face rollers have been my best buddies for  not only doing my face but arms and legs too.  Herbivore Jade De-Puffing Face Roller BeautyBio Rose Quartz Dual-Ended Face & Eye Roller 

I can’t get enough of my red light therapy mask either!   I use it at night and am near sleeping by the time the ten minute session is up.  HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask for Fine Lines & Glowing Skin Red light promotes melatonin production as well as skin healing so it’s helping in multiple ways. 

[CorgiMommy]

@heartsmyface that is interesting about the red light therapy 

[Titian06]

@heartsmyface - I didn't know that about red light; very interesting. 🌜

[peculiarzmakeup]

These look and sound amazing glad to hear you’ve been loving these! That’s such an amazing morning and night tool! @heartsmyface  ❤️

Week 3 (1/22 – 1/28): Trying out tools to promote wellness (rollers, high tech tools, DIY massage . . .)

I used to use a Clairsonic until it broke.  I really enjoyed that device.  I don't use any device now.  Although I have the NuFACE NuFACE® Mini+ Starter Kit kindly gifted by Sephora, I am still nervous about using it.  (I'll feel better after asking my doctor at my next appointment.)

[CynthieLu]

I hope the Doctor gives you the green light on nuface @Titian06 it's a fab little tool.👌

[peculiarzmakeup]

That’s a great idea to check in with the doc, for some reason or lack of sleep when I heard doc I pictured bugs bunny saying “what’s up doc” I try to throw that into conversation every once in a while lol 😂 but the Clarisonic is that like the electric face brush? I think I’ve seen it ❤️ @Titian06 

[Titian06]

LOL, @peculiarzmakeup !  I've been watching Bugs Bunny on MeTv Toons recently.

Yes, Clairsonic is the electric face brush.  I bought is shortly after Sephora started carrying it.  It lasted for about three years.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Oh wow that’s a long time! That’s amazing and that’s too funny haha @Titian06  ❤️

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 that is a smart idea 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CorgiMommy ! 💖💖💖

Week 3:  Tools to promote wellness ☺️💓

Taking the time to relax and wind is so calming and peaceful. Doing that with face masks, or at home treatments make me feel sooo good! For me wellness is achieved in those moments of self care. 

 

 

Face Mask Applicators:

I have collected a few over the years from the Rewards Bazaar. They are a great way to keep your hands out of your face mask jars. 

Serum/Moisturizer Brushes:

SEPHORA COLLECTION Face Mask Applicator 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Vegan Eye Treatment Application Brush 

SEPHORA COLLECTION Vegan Face Mask Application Brush 

These brushes are very soft and make putting on your serums etc.. a little more spa like right from home. 🏡 🩷

High tech Tools:

NuFACE NuFACE® Mini+ Starter Kit *gratis 🙏*

NuFACE FIX® MicroWand 

Nuface mini OG

Dermabeam LED face mask

Maybe you can tell, I really like my beauty tools. 😃 I can really see a difference in my skin when I use these consistently, but I struggle with keeping up with my routines sometimes, but it's sooo worth it when I do. 

[Sunnysmom]

Oh this is so wonderful to see your collection @CynthieLu ! I bet you really enjoy using them all! 

[CynthieLu]

Thanks @Sunnysmom 😀 I really do! 

Thou I do think my LED mask is on its last legs. I've had for I think 3 or 4 years and it's starting to act up. I'm not sure how long other people have gotten out of thier devices, I would be curious to know. 🧐

[Sunnysmom]

That’s a good question @CynthieLu . I have had my older NuFace for awhile but I expect it to go out all the time! ( Also meant to mention your good ideas for applicators , very smart! 🤓) 

[CynthieLu]

Thanks! 😉 @Sunnysmom 

I suspect my old nuface was turning on but not actually doing it's thing anymore if that makes sense. I appreciate the vibration of the new one and I can feel the zing every now and then, it's reassuring to know it's working properly. ☺️
