Gentle recommendations to help your skin stay calm, hydrated, and steady through the season.

Hello Beautiful,

Thanksgiving is a powerful moment in our life continuum to anchor our thanks and gratitude for people, situations, and all the life-support systems that hold us. And yes, even for our incredible SKIN that shows up with us every single day of the year.

It is not Black Friday or Cyber Monday that rules the world of your skin. It is your own skin’s needs that use their voice and ask you to vote alongside with that voice.

Maybe it is choosing nourishing foods, maybe it is heading for an active walk, maybe it is adding a cleanser or serum with an ingredient your skin has been asking for. Whatever feels right for you and your skin is always worth doing.

In my previous newsletter, we explored The Skin’s Survival Guide for the Holiday Season.

Listen to Your Skin, It Always Knows What It Needs

Today, I want to share something simple, useful, and supportive.

Below is a small list of curated skincare recommendations pulled from everything I trust, use, and teach inside my skin programs. Some may be on sale thanks to the post-Thanksgiving deals.

📌 It's a great opportunity to take your skincare inventory and see what products you may need in the near future.

This life is about creating the results that feel meaningful to you and the world around you. A result can be a feeling, a smile, a bold action, or a photo you take during the holidays. What you feel and create is your contribution to this world. Let it be joy, clarity, and calm that bring us closer to ourselves and to life.

Below are a few recommendations of my favorite skincare to support Your skin through the season of stress and celebration.

The Holiday Beauty Mindset to Consider

If your skin has been whispering (or shouting) for something lately, I hope this list helps you navigate the holiday sales with intention. Every choice you make for your skin is a choice toward well-being, connection, and self-lead care.

I would like to close this newsletter with the excerpt from my last email to you:

This season, celebrate with joy your incredible gifts you have in life. And remember a few things about your skin and its care.

🌿 Your skin is not misbehaving.
🌿 Your products are not failing you.
🌿 You are not doing anything wrong.

Your skin is simply responding to a fast, emotionally charged season with real biological changes. And you have powerful, nurturing tools to support it.

When you understand your skin’s pathways – moisture loss, barrier stress, cortisol cascades, oxidative damage – everything becomes easier.

You gain control. You gain peace. You gain results.

Trust your intuition.

And Your skin will follow a cue.

Wishing you softness, light, and a season that nourishes you and your skin.

With Love,

Larisa, Licensed Esthetician
