2025 Skincare Check-In Challenge: Week 4 - Indulging in body 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.)

Thanks, @jaaayp !  Gotta keep it simple and to the point so I can get to work on time! 😄

I'll let you know if I find an eye cream I like...don't hold your breath. 🙃

@Titian06 Great routine! Sorry to hear that the eye cream is no longer available? Have you tried the Inkey List #The INKEY List Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL and or The INKEY List Brighten-i™ Dark Circle Brightening Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL ? I use the caffeine one and I am enjoying it. I forgot to mention it in my routine. I am still trying to make it a habit.

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Mellmars1185 !  I haven't tried either one of these.  I have looked at the caffeine one.  The other one doesn't sound familiar.  Thanks for the suggestions.  Yes, it took me awhile to incorporate eye cream regularly. 👀

@Titian06  Glad to hear you have some solid favorites! Not sure if you have a TJ Maxx or Marshall's around you, but I've found a lot of discontinued products there and I've consistently seen a lot of Innisfree - It might  be worth a look-see if you're able!

[Titian06]

Thanks for the suggestion, @Shosh85 !  There's one of each nearby.

@Titian06  Great items to start your day! 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @ather !  I feel fresh and ready to go when I'm finished.

Good idea on the Dermalogica Exfoliator @Titian06 . I have a little sample and need to use it. Love your tried and true list! 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Sunnysmom !  I love the Dermalogica Microfoliant!

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 are you talking about the eye cream with Hyaluronic acid?

[Titian06]

@CorgiMommy - The jar says "intensive hydration with green tea seed."

[CorgiMommy]

Sorry, I don't know that one @Titian06 

[Titian06]

@CorgiMommy - Here's a pic:

 

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 have you tried other green tea eye creams?

[Titian06]

@CorgiMommy - No.  This is the first eye cream I liked.  I've just started my journey looking for a new eye cream.  Maybe that's what I should look for. 🤔

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 think about trying their other eye creams

[CynthieLu]

Ahhh this sounds like a refreshing routine. @Titian06 ✨🩵I'm sorry to hear your favorite eye cream was discontinued. 😱

What are you looking for in your dream eye cream?

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu - I'm looking for a moisturizer.  No puffiness, bags, dark circles, and no retinol (allergic)...just a good moisturizer.

These are beautiful choices! This is such a great routine I can really see the connection between each product this is awesome @Titian06 ❤️

Thanks, @peculiarzmakeup ! 💖💖💖

Week 1: My current skin care routine is pretty simple. Just these couple product. I use the WS as primer and it’s at the end of its life. Once that done, I use the GXVE in its place 🥰
