Is glowing, healthy skin all you want for Christmas? Then you’ve come to the right place. Add a little Christmas sparkle to your skin care routine with 6 skin-kind ingredients that can be certain of a spot on Santa’s nice list. Plus, get inspired for your Christmas shopping!

COAL

Famously left in the stockings of naughty children, Charcoal, in its activated form, is actually very beneficial for the skin. Known to draw out impurities and balance the skin’s oil production, it’s a great ingredient for skin feeling the congesting effects of Christmas indulgences.

Find it in Purifying Face Mask, a home spa Christmas skin care treat that all skin types can use to deep clean pores. It’s the perfect teen skin care stocking filler and ideal for bringing spot-prone skin back under control.

MYRRH

Reputedly gifted by the three kings, Myrrh has a royally good reputation for helping to heal damaged skin and is an essential Christmas skin care ingredient for those prone to dry skin in December.

You can find Myrrh in One Balm, our Christmas stocking filler beauty balm that soothes dry skin anywhere using a festive-inspired blend of Myrrh with Cranberry Seed Oil, Orange Peel Oil and Frankincense.

The ultimate sustainable stocking filer, One Balm comes in a biodegradable pot. But best of all, with One Balm, you get 10 products in 1. That’s because it can be used on dry skin anywhere! You can use it as a natural lip balm, a natural cleansing balm and a barrier balm that protects skin during chafing cold snaps. 

FRANKINCENSE

According to the Christmas story, Balthasar travelled from ‘the land of spices’ to bestow Frankincense on the baby Jesus. We can only wonder if he knew of the soothing benefits of his spice-scented surprise.

Frankincense is the perfect essential oil for sleeping like a baby and is a key ingredient in our Alexandra Kay Time to Sleep Aroma Bracelet Gift Set.

This natural winter wellness gift set pairs an elegant aromatherapy bracelet with our night-time essential oil blend. Inhale its gentle notes of Frankincense and Lavender as you switch off, and a silent night's sleep will soon follow.

 

CRANBERRY

Cranberries make a tasty Christmas dinner sauce, but did you know that they can also serve dry skin a winter feast of barrier support?

Cranberries are bursting with skin-softening Omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants, such as tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E).

Another great benefit of Cranberry Seed Oil is that it helps to maintain skin hydration by protecting the skin’s lipid barrier. These make it the ideal Christmas beauty ingredient for our Pure Luxe Body Oil.

Designed to gently glide into your skin, leaving it feeling soft and silky, it's the luxury home spa Christmas beauty gift that your mum, aunt or bestie will love! 

CLOVE

Commonly used in Christingles, the slightest sniff of Clove scent can conjure up a sense of Christmas, but could it help your skin to find its festive feel-good factor?

With its delightfully warming aroma, Clove oil is the perfect way to comfort your hands once the cold weather sets in. Find it in our Nourishing Hand Cream, one of the three hand care treats in our Hand Care Essentials stocking filler. 

ORANGE

Love the zesty, fresh scent of dried orange slices at Christmas? Your hair does too!

If you’re planning a plastic-free Christmas, our Citrus & Ginger Shampoo Bar is the perfect zero-waste Christmas stocking filler. This zero-waste shampoo bar lasts for up to 50 washes and infuses your hair with uplifting, festively fresh notes of Orange and warming Ginger.

SHOP FESTIVE BEAUTY TREATS

Unwrap a Christmas skin glow this December and treat your family and friends to luxurious Christmas skin care gift sets bursting with festive feel-good ingredients.
