The holiday season is here, and that means festive gatherings, sparkling soirées, and plenty of photo ops! Whether you're attending a cozy cocktail party or a glamorous New Year’s bash, glowing skin is the ultimate accessory. With the right skincare routine, you can achieve a radiant, party-ready glow that will have you looking and feeling your best all night long.
As an esthetician, when I’m prepping for a party, I like to focus on hydration, proper layering, and ample time for each product to set in.
Hit Refresh Hydrating Toner
I think one of our most underrated hydration products is the Hit Refresh Hydrating Toner. Formulated with Cucumber, Aloe Vera, and Witch Hazel, this skin-prepping toner clarifies the look of pores, boosts visible hydration, and calms the look of irritation, while also balancing the skin's pH.
To apply, use a cotton pad or the tips of your fingers and gently wipe over your entire face, neck, and chest after cleansing. You’ll be surprised at just how glowing your skin will already be!
Dramatically Dewy Serum
Our Dramatically Dewy Serum is a breakthrough moisture formula that glows beyond the basics of a typical hydration serum. It locks in a moisturized, radiant look all while supporting your skin barrier.
This liquid, silky goodness is a star player when it comes to the coveted goPure glow. Place about 3-5 drops of serum on fingertips and apply on damp skin. Allow the serum to fully absorb to avoid any pilling of the product. For best results use twice daily, morning & night.
Pro Tip: Your skin will be naturally damp after applying the Hydrating Toner. But if you feel your skin still needs a bit of hydration prior to applying your Dramatically Dewy, I love to spray a little spritz of water or rose water in between!
Brilliant Barrier Water Cream
Our Brilliant Barrier Water Cream pairs so nicely with a party-prep routine. Silicone-free and lightweight, this whipped gel cream sinks into skin for a pillowy-soft feel and a more hydrated, perfected look.
It hydrates, smooths, and soothes the appearance of skin, refines the look of pores and supports a clear, even complexion. Though ideal for normal to oily and combination skin, I love using this moisturizer anytime I plan on getting ready and putting makeup on!

Advanced Repair Eye Cream + Glow Getter Eye Masks
I don't know about you, but I don’t prepare for a party without a little extra TLC! Pair our Advanced Repair Eye Cream with our Glow Getter Eye Masks to reduce the look of dark circles, smooth the look of crow’s feet & wrinkles, and diminish the look of puffiness, under-eye bags, and sagging skin.
After applying your favorite eye creams, serums, and/or moisturizers, place masks with light pressure to the under eye area. I like to leave them on for about 20 minutes. This maximizes absorption of your products and boosts hydration. Plus, it perfectly preps your undereyes for any foundation, concealer, or makeup you may be wearing this holiday season.
Pro Tip: I love putting our Eye Masks in the refrigerator to keep them cool. Not only does it feel nice under the eye, but I love the depuffing effect I get from this!
Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF
For even more skin perfecting, I love using our Glow Pure Tinted Mineral SPF. You can use this under makeup, as a primer, or as a tinted moisturizer. This features a universal tint that perfectly matches all skin tones and instantly moisturizes and illuminates the look of skin.
Personally, I layer on a little blush and mascara with our Glow Pure SPF and I am ready to go! The glow is unmatched, plus it also protects your skin with 25% Zinc Oxide broad spectrum SPF 40 coverage for both UVA AND UVB rays. The non-nano micronized zinc oxide formula visibly soothes the skin, locks in moisture, applies easily, and leaves NO WHITE CAST.
Sculpt & Tone Arm Cream
Our new Sculpt & Tone Arm Cream is also essential when I’m going for a sleeveless party look. I don’t have to feel self-conscious about my arms in photos! Formulated with Rice Protein, Sacred Lotus Leaf, Avocado, Roasted Shea Butter, and Ashwaghanda Root extracts, this cream tightens & lifts the look of sagging skin, smooths the look of lines & wrinkles, and firms the look of crepey texture.
Gently massage the Sculpt & Tone Arm Cream into clean skin. For enhanced results, apply to damp skin after showering, and exfoliate skin on a weekly basis.
Thanks to this routine, I am able to show up as my most confident self in any room I walk into!
