The TSNC Christmas Gift Guide 2023: Skincare Stocking Fillers!
11 December, 2023
Are skincare stocking fillers a thing? If not, I’m making it a thing! Which beauty lover wouldn’t be excited to find a wonderful skincare product in their stocking this Christmas!? I know I would!
I’ve gathered together a few lovely skincare treats that would make wonderful additions to a loved-ones stocking this year – enjoy!
As with any good skincare routine, let’s start at the beginning with cleanser. The Kelsey Luminous Glow Radiant Cleansing Gel is a multi-tasking cleanser packed with brightening fruit acids and gentle coconut-based cleansers to effortlessly remove all traces of make-up and surface dirt, leaving skin soft and supple. The Luminous Glow Radiant Cleansing Gel includes EZ Rubus ID to help optimise delivery of omega oils to support collagen production, Raspberry Leaf, to help fight wrinkles, fine lines and uneven skin tone. Carrot Seed Oil, to remove toxins and fights bacteria, and Blackcurrant Seed Oil, to protect and nourish skin whilst boosting antioxidant protection.
If you’re looking for a more intensive cleanser, the HydroPeptide Anti Wrinkle Exfoliating Cleanser could be just the thing.
This is a deep cleanser designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, prevent collagen loss, fight against acne, and revive lifeless skin. It uses Glycolic acid and exfoliating Jojoba beads to dissolve dead skin cells, encouraging clarity and renewal, without leaving skin feeling dry. While Green Tea, Citrus and Ginseng enliven the skin while guarding it from free radicals, and skin enhancing peptides reduce fine lines and wrinkles while softening the skin, leaving you with a brighter and smoother complexion.
The Kate Somerville HydraKate Recharging Serum is a beautiful, instant hydrating serum, using cutting edge ingredients and proven technology to deliver customised hydration to where skin is most dehydrated. This is the perfect serum to combat signs of dehydrated skin. This blue light-activated Peptide serum utilizes AquaPort Technology and Hyaluronic Acid for instant and longer-lasting hydration directly where skin needs it most. Whether you‘re dealing with dullness, dryness, fine lines and/or skin fatigue, you’ll see boosted radiance, a visible improvement to lines & wrinkles and diminished dark spots with continued use.
I also had to include the lovely Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. Charlotte Tilbury’s first ever product was created to instantly improve the look of tired, dull and dry skin, and it does just that! This award winning cream promises clinically proven results that are noticeable almost instantly – it hydrates, smooths, plumps and firms the look of your skin, using cushion + lift mesh technology, plus Charlotte’s Magic 8 Matrix of ingredients including plump-perfect Peptide Complex, and Vitamins C & E + Hyaluronic Acid. It uses radiance-boosting optics and skin-cushioning ingredients to give your complexion a lit-from-within glow.
A fantastic option for those with more mature skin, is the Eucerin Hyaluron Filler + Elasticity – this is a fantastic moisturiser created specifically to plump up deep wrinkles, improve skin’s elasticity, and correct age-spots. This SPF30 cream is luxuriously thick and rich, however it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. The formula is packed with multiple anti-ageing benefits including Hyaluronic Acid to visibly plump deep wrinkles, Eucerin’s new Collagen-Elastin Complex, to re-energize collagen production and increase skin’s elasticity, and Eucerin’s patented Thiamidol, to reduce the appearance of age-spots – for skin that is smoother, more radiant, and visibly younger looking.
And finally, as someone that suffers with dark under eye circles, I had to include a product that I’ve just started using. The Murad Environmental Shield Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector has been designed to brighten the delicate eye area by lifting pigmentation, whether purple, red or brown, so you look more awake and radiant.
This fluid has been created with an innovative gold-stabilisation process, allowing the Vitamin C to absorb more effectively into skin, and deliver increased levels of antioxidants to shield skin from environmental aggressors. It also includes Red and Brown Algae to reduce puffiness, helping to soothe and calm irritation and inflammation for long-lasting comfort, while light-reflecting micro-minerals mask dark areas for an instant brightening effect. To deeply hydrate and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, Cucumber extract is blended into the mix for a cooling touch of moisture.
