...Or, How to Take Care of Everyone You Love (and Even Yourself)...without Going Broke
Come December, when our wallets become uncomfortably thin, we try to be reassured by the fact that at least much of it is in the spirit of giving (yes, even if that means giving your dry skin a juicy, thick new moisturizer). Still, it can be pretty stressful. From office secret santas, to our closest family members...it all adds up. In order to take the stress out of gifting, (or, really, shopping at any time of the year)!

Mizon Water Volume Aqua Gel Cream—Tube, $10
Holika Holika Juicy Mask Sheet Honey, $4
Mizon Vita Lemon Sparkling Powder, $6
TonyMoly Mini Peach Lip Balm SPF 15, $10
From lip-shaped-lip-scrubs (gotta be ready for those mistletoe kisses), and carbonated cleansers to travel-friendly mini moisturizers, $10 can go a long way.
Pampering is completely accessible for under $50. Think: aromatherapy nail oil for the 1 pm work day slump, massage cream for a loved one, and peppermint massage oil, perhaps for the athlete with sore muscles in your life. We had to include Be The Skin’s “orange line” toner too, a staff favorite, packed with royal jelly which balances the skin’s pH and hydrates. Finally, Cremorlab’s smooth pudding is a great option for an affordable anti-aging, hydrating moisturizer.
Midaskin Bolc A+ Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Facial Serum, $200
To say we’re excited about our newest launch, Midaskin, the first ever cosmetics formulated with botulinum polypeptide-1 (a proprietary ingredient 95% identical to the one used in injectable botox), would be practically an understatement. It’s the only product in our $200 and under category, because we think it’s a super-special, and worthy splurge.
