A Restorative Face Oil
Step up your face oil game with the new goop GOOPGENES All-In-One Super Nutrient Face Oil. It’s made up of a blend of sumptuous plant-derived oils, all prized for their ability to deeply nourish the skin.

An Energizing Body Collection
Fend off winter flakiness with L’Occitane’s limited-edition Invigorating Scent Collection, which features four of the brand’s classic shea-infused skin-softeners in a cheery citrus scent.

A Line-Diminishing Eye Stick
Curious about retinol but fear its drying effects? Give Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick a whirl.

Pro tip: apply onto lids and lips for extra protection against fine lines and droopy skin.

Purported to visibly firm and smooth slackened skin, thanks to its blend of skin-stimulating caffeine, tiger grass and boldo extracts, Susanne Kaufmann Toning Body Serum and Cream is a treat for the body and a luxurious (and fabulously extra) way to kick your body-toning goals into high gear.
From $105. Susannekaufmann.com
A Pore-Refining Cleanser
Improve skin clarity and defend against dullness caused by pollution with Fresh Kombucha Cleansing Treatment.

A Resurfacing Serum
Work on your glow while you snooze with Holifrog Halo AHA + BHA Evening Serum. Its potent yet gentle blend of exfoliating acids targets congestion and sloughs off dead skin cells to give your complexion a total overhaul.

From $38. Clarins.ca
An Elevated Fragrance
Inspired by shooting stars, the latest fragrance from Louis Vuitton is a balm for dreary winter days. Étoile Filante features notes of fresh osmanthus blooms, juicy apricot, ripe strawberries and a soft hint of jasmine.
