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.)

Galaxy is my favorite of them all @PrettyPaint oooh but what are yours?? 

Saw this after I made this post and it made me laugh thinking of that glittery bath bomb. 😂

 

[PrettyPaint]

@CynthieLu I just went on their site so I could try to remember the names, but it looks like they have added a bunch of new ones. I usually just get whatever they have on sale during their Freshness Sale or Christmas sale, though I didn't this past year because the site was acting up too much and I got frustrated. I think I have tried avobath and butterball, but I'm not seeing any of the glittery Christmas ones I've tried in the past. That's so true about glitter!! 😅 

[CynthieLu]

I have never been on thier site @PrettyPaint I just visit the store in the local mall even thou I'm sure it's a smaller selection. I'm lucky we have one locally. 

Yes, they have sooo many releases over the holidays. I usually pick those up for gifts 🎁😉 aaah you've tried a few of thier glittery ones? I enjoy them but yes, the clean up is less fun. 🙃

[PrettyPaint]

@CynthieLu That's awesome that you have a store nearby. I definitely don't have one anywhere nearby, so I only order online unless I happen to see one while traveling! 

[CorgiMommy]

That is so funny @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I thought so too, had to share it. @CorgiMommy  it's like, if you know, you know. 😂

[AMK721]

@CynthieLu love a good bubble bath too!

[CynthieLu]

Yaaas right?? @AMK721 They are so fun and relaxing and just feels so good. 🫧🫧

Ooo this sounds amazing I have a lush store nearby what does galaxy smell like? I can relate to the clean up process I use a lavender one and the seeds and purple get all over. I really like mint or lavender scents. What would be your ideal scent for one of these! Sounds so relaxing, colorful, and soothing 🤩 @CynthieLu great choice I find these to be so useful! ❤️

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

My GOAT Biossance Caffeine Toning Body Cream + Squalane 6 oz / 200 mL .  I have spoken about this product often on BIC.

Tatcha Hinoki Hydrating Body Oil 3.38 oz / 100 mL and Tatcha Hinoki Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash 6.8 oz / 200 g  transform my shower to a luxury spa experience (or what I think a luxury experience would be)

Trader Joe's Lavender body scrub .  

#L'Occitane Nourishing & Softening Shea Butter Foot Cream 5.3 oz/ 150 mmL great product to keep feet hydrated in the winter

[Titian06]

@CorgiMommy - I will look into the foot cream once mine runs out.  The company went out of business. 🤣

[peculiarzmakeup]

Incredible choices! I love how the biossance caffeine cream is such a fave for you, I saw the word caffeine and purchased it right away it’s so rejuvenating to the skin! Love Tatchas products they are so refreshing! A lavender body scrub sounds fantastic and love how you have stuff for winter. These are splendid! Have you ever tried the Tatcha Hinoki Body Milk Lotion 4.5 oz / 132 mL  I really like how soft it is on the skin as well 🙂 @CorgiMommy 

[CorgiMommy]

I have tried it, i just haven't used it in a while @peculiarzmakeup 

[CynthieLu]

Fab picks! @CorgiMommy You introduced me toBiossance Caffeine Toning Body Cream + Squalane 6 oz / 200 mL 👌👌 thank you! 😉

Aaaah L'Occtaine is a stand up line for indulgence imo. Have you tried anything else from them that you've liked?

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu I do like L'Occitane Cleansing And Softening Refillable Shower Oil With Almond Oil and L'Occitane Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream Lavender .  

[CynthieLu]

Aaah I love that shower oil too! I haven't tried the hand cream but Lavender is such a comfort scent isn't it? @CorgiMommy 🥰🥰

[CorgiMommy]

It is a very relaxing scent.  I use Lavender oil on my dogs when a thunderstorm approaches to calm them down.  @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

That's pretty amazing it helps your doggo's too. @CorgiMommy 💟 I've heard it used to be used a pain reliever in like the olden times.
