[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 😘

i used the sephora overnight coconut and mango hair mask last night. I’m speechless… ITS SO AMAAAZZINGG. As someone who puts their hair up often it’s so important to find a rejuvenating hair mask to keep my hair happy and healthy. This is the perfect thing. #sephora collection

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you for sharing your lovely skincare routine! I love the idea of a hair mask during skincare I always have trouble finding  way to encorporate that that’s a great idea ❤️ @izzy23756 

[Mellmars1185]

@izzy23756 Thanks for sharing! I am happy you found something that works well for you.

[CorgiMommy]

@izzy23756 nice to know 

[itsfi]

@izzy23756, I love the convenience of the Sephora Collection hair masks. Great for traveling or just an easy and effective hair mask for at home care. The print on the caps are really cute too!

[izzy23756]

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

I'm a firm believer to get my skin looking great in the morning it really matters what I'm using/doing the night before. So I have the routine of washing my face every night to remove the day, SPF and makeup. There's even some fun masks I use like:

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask with Niacinamide & Squalane 2.3 oz/ 70 mL 

Or a little:

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Moisture Repair Balm Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane 1.41 ... 

My morning routine for glow 🌟 

Wash: Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser 

Tone: Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner™ 2.53 oz / 75 ml 

Serum: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum 

Moisturize: Glow Recipe Plum Plump Refillable Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer 

SPF: Tatcha The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 Weightless Mineral Sunscreen 1.7 oz / 50 mL

Ooooh @CynthieLu I feel like I always see DM on your list in one way or another LOL

I think I have literally tried 1 blush from them recently and I pretty much love it so far.

Please tell me more Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Moisture Repair Balm Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane 1.41 ... 😁

[CynthieLu]

Happy to! I have some serious DM love over here, it's true. 😄

Have I ever mentioned how dry my skin is before? @jaaayp  I just use a teeny tiny bit of this balm over my moisturizer at night. It's a really nice way to slow down moisture loss over night especially during these cold winter months. I have plain ol' vaseline as well, and both work great, this is just a little richer. I don't use it every night but pretty often, especially now that the air has gotten drier.

The balm is solid and it's kinda neat to warm it up your hands. I like just the experience of using it if that makes sense. 😁

[jaaayp]

It does make sense!! Now i'm tempted to pick this up next sale.. do you also use the blurring balm ones with coverage @CynthieLu ? 🤔

[CynthieLu]

I prefer the Universal, it's great for mattifying around my eyebrows and nose ( Though it doesn't always play well with some elements of my routine. 😭) I've never had to buy this product, I keep getting cute mini's as gwp.

I use and love her Skin Tint. I really enjoy it. Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint Foundation with Peptides + Ceramides 4 just a tiny squeeze from the bottle is enough for my whole face, light almost medium coverage and it feels good on my skin. 

She needs to make a mini of her balm serum so people can try before they buy. 🍯👌

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu I am so happy you found a brand that check almost all the boxes for your skincare routine! What is you favourite item from the Glow Recipe brand?

[Shosh85]

Your routine looks great @CynthieLu! Looks like you love Glow Recipe! They are definitely a good solid brand!😃

[CynthieLu]

I dooooo @Shosh85 they make some of my favorite skincare. 😁

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu I agree, what you do at night definitely effects your skin the next day.  Great ideas for a skincare routine
