Lancome Advanced Génifique Facial Serum

I am very picky when it comes to face serums and find that many of them end up settling under my moisturizer or only target one or two of my skin concerns. This light yet powerful fragrance from Lancôme does neither. It absorbs almost instantly and contains Bifido Extract, a prebiotic that targets dryness, dullness and other signs of aging such as fine lines and skin tone. I use it morning and evening before moisturizing. I will never refuse replenishment.

IT Cosmetics Confidence In Your Beauty Sleep Night Cream

Speaking of moisturizers, if I could take a dip in this ceramide and hyaluronic acid-infused night cream, I would. The subtle scent of lavender instantly puts me to sleep, and I wake up in the morning with incredibly soft, hydrated skin. I don’t know how, but despite the rich texture of the cream, it seems to remain on the face and from the pillow - just a Christmas miracle!

Lancôme Absolue Repairing & Brightening Soft Cream

Choosing a moisturizer can be a very personal experience, but if someone gave me this cream, I would be thrilled. With chic packaging and an anti-aging, hydrating and brightening formula, everyone will love this product. And at a higher price, I don't usually buy it for myself, so getting it would be a real treat for me and my skin.

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butter with Soy Milk and Honey

I never found fault with body lotions until I tried Creme de Corps. The whipped formula is so dreamy and luxurious, not to mention superb hydration. Indeed, nothing compares. I try to account for every fall, so it takes me a while to get through it, but I'm over it at the moment. Finding a jar of it in my stocking would be the best gift.

IT Cosmetics Confidence In Gel Lotion

Although my skin gets dry during the winter months, a light moisturizer is still a must have in my collection because my oily T-zone is no longer disappearing. This gel lotion formula has helped my skin in the past; the glycerin in it hydrates my dry patches and the airy gel formula doesn't clog my oily patches. This is the perfect addition to any skin care stocking. I know I'm asking for it this year!

Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Vitamin C Eye Serum to Reduce Dark Circles

Correcting dark circles can be a daunting task, and if you know someone who struggles with it, you can bet they've tried just about everything. Give them this Vitamin C Eye Serum and they will forever be grateful. It is formulated to visibly reduce bags, puffiness and dark circles, leaving skin brighter, more even and firmer.

Lancôme Renergie Multi-Lift Night Cream

All I want for the holidays (and every day, really) is glowing skin, and this luxuriously rich night cream is exactly what I need. This is an anti-aging moisturizer that reduces the appearance of fine lines over time, which I like because you can't start too early. It also contains hydrating hyaluronic acid and hydrating shea butter to leave skin soft and radiant with every use. 

IT Cosmetics Detergent Confidence

A non-tightening cleanser is exactly what my skin needs during the colder months, so I bet I'm asking for a restock on this formula. This cleanser and serum in one bottle not only effectively cleanses the skin and easily removes makeup, but also moisturizes the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and hydrated.

Kiehl's Merry Masking Gift Set

Kiehl's Merry Masking Set is my ticket to this season's getaway and gives my skin everything it needs to glow in the winter. It has three travel masks to solve all my winter skin problems, including the Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask for enlarged pores, Energizing Radiance Mask with Turmeric and Cranberry Seeds for dullness, and Avocado Nourishing Hydrating Mask for dryness. so I really can't go wrong. 

Lancôme Hydra Zen Glow Liquid Moisturizer

If you're anything like me, winter is a particularly tricky time when it comes to controlling dry skin, so I need a moisturizer that can actually provide hydration. Lancôme's Hydra Zen Glow Liquid Moisturizer fits the bill and I can already say it's a must-have this season. With 11 amino acids and hyaluronic acid, I know I'll get the hydration I need. On top of that, it's a lightweight formula and safe for sensitive skin so I don't have to worry about a thick moisturizer breaking me down and this could be the best holiday gift of all.
