TiDeadlines are a thing of the past now that the holidays have officially arrived! No more last minute gifts to purchase, no more projects due… you know what that means. It’s time to stop stressing and start self-caring. Take a step back from the emails flooding your laptop and sneak away from the family obligations for some well-deserved me time. Enjoy several of my favorite “Must-Try Self-Care Products for the Holidays and Beyond.”
+ Haircare
Davines
Created from Roucou Oil, Davines’ OI Conditioner is beta-carotene and antioxidant-based to strengthen hair and protect it from the effects of aging and environmental damage, leaving your hair soft, shiny and voluminous.
Moroccanoil
Infused with antioxidant-rich Argan oil and shine-boosting vitamins, the Moroccanoil Treatment Original is made to manage tangles, drying time, and nourish your hair with a boost of shine. If you have colored hair or fine hair, you may want to check out Moroccanoil Treatment Light for boosting shine and maintaining hair color.
Olaplex
Look no further for the perfect hair perfector. Olaplex No.3 is the at home bond builder that relinks the broken disulfide bonds in every type of hair providing real, structural repair that works from within. Chelsea, wth does that even mean? If you want to strengthen your hair and grow your hair faster, then Olaplex No. 3 is a must-have self-care product. Remember, hair perfector is NOT a conditioner.
Ouai
Thanks to blogger babe, Sivan Ayla, Ouai’s hair oil has become one of my favorite go-to self-care products. Free of parabens, Oaui’s oil will protect your hair from color fade, heat damage, heal split ends and leave your hair feeling silky smooth.

Clarisonic
I’m still using my Clarisonic Mia from college! Obviously, you have to change out the brush heads, but my Clarisonic is still going strong to this day, which is just one of the many reasons I love this product. To rid your pores of unwanted makeup, dirt, and oil, invest in the Clarisonic Mia line.
Dermalogica
Considered one of the world’s best go-to health and beauty lines, Dermalogica is dedicated to improving your skin health. Dermalogica’s Body Hydrating Cream has been an absolute game-changer for my dry skin. With this advanced body lotion, you’ll be able to smooth skin and relieve dryness with Lactic Acid and natural hydroxy acid extracts from Sugar Cane and Apple.
SkinCeuticals
I was introduced to SkinCeuticals last winter when my mama visited the dermatologist office and I’ve been hooked since. Born from decades of cancer research, SkinCeuticals has become the ultimate breakthrough for healthy, youthful skin. This brand is not only backed by science, but is also dermatologist recommended for everyone and anyone looking to improve skin and delay the skin aging process. My mom loves the SkinCeuticals’ Anti-Aging line, but my skin is a bit on the dry side since I relocated from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Thanks to the mama and meticulous online research, I have decided to invest in SkinCeuticals’ Dry Skin line next.
