Oh Yes We Did!The Holiday Collection Has Launched: 2020

Be thinking of "me-time" and the need for self care. Yes, of course I am all about gifting and I get so excited to find the perfect gift for someone and watch their face when they open it! But let's be honest, there is also something to be said about self care. Especially right now!

During the pandemic I started coloring my own hair at home (yes - embrace the scary thought - it was a must to get the grays to magically disappear) and have continued doing it now even though my favorite salon is open again. The reason why is simple ~ it forces me to have some "me-time". I have really enjoyed the time while my hair is processing (usually 30 minutes) and I can take this time to putz in the bathroom (maybe touchup my eyebrows, play with some makeup, apply a facial mask, shave my legs.....you get the point). As I look at our Beautycounter Holiday Collection I see a common theme - I should say a much needed common theme - around self care and rituals.

Don't always put yourself last, be sure to reward and love on yourself too! Take a long warm shower or bath and indulge by using our gorgeous Sugarbuff Body Polish to slough off all the dullness and follow up with a wonderful hydrating moisturizer to treat and protect your skin. Have some fun playing with new fall/winter makeup colors that shimmer and glow. Dive into your skincare routine by treating and caring for your beautiful face with rich hydration and brightness-boosting treatments. This is your time! Trust me, you will love it :)

Here is a personal peak at the collection (and note I am due for a hair color touchup and some personal "me-time"....Oh Yes!). Enjoy!

The Face Toners of Today ~ not what you remember as a teenager.

My first toner was a stinging, burning liquid that I applied to a cotton ball and then wiped all over my face after washing. This was not a pleasant step and I never looked forward to it. Typically it hurt and dried out my face terribly. You will be happy to hear that face toners have changed! Now I can honestly say using a toner has become a favorite skin care step in my morning and evening routine. It feels wonderful and has amazing benefits. Once you start using a great toner you will see the results in the tone and texture of your skin. It is a game changer!

Sarah Lee, the co-founder of Glow Recipe tells Allure. "The idea is to thoroughly cleanse and clarify via your double cleanse, then use a toner as the first leave-on step that hydrates and treats." Read more of the article here.....http://bit.ly/3ctkv2A
