The holiday party season is here, bringing sparkle, shine, and endless photo ops. From family portraits to festive soirées, luminous skin is the ultimate accessory. Start with clean, clinically tested skincare from the sea, free of sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, and anything unnecessary for a healthy, camera-ready glow that looks as good in person as it does in pictures. Ahead, a step-by-step holiday skincare ritual to keep your complexion radiant all season long.
6 Steps to Camera-Ready Skin
Step 1: Double Cleanse
Begin with an oil-based cleanser to melt away makeup and excess oil. Our pick: Ocean Wave Cleanser, a lightweight bi-phase cleansing oil and makeup remover designed for all skin types—even oily and blemish-prone complexions. Formulated with Undaria seaweed, rich in amino acids and antioxidants, and camelina oil to moisturize and condition, it leaves skin balanced, nourished and incredibly soft.
Follow with a water-based cleanser for a more targeted cleanse. Our seaweed-powered Ocean Cleanser removes surface impurities and excess oils while gently exfoliating with lactic acid. Mineral-rich Undaria seaweed hydrates for a clear, radiant complexion that’s perfectly primed for serums and moisturizers.
Step 2: Exfoliate & Face Mask
No matter what your skin type is, exfoliating regularly can improve your complexion. Not only will it look smoother, more even, and more glowing in all of your photos, the products you use afterward will sink in better too. We’re particularly fond of Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub AHA Treatment, our dual-action face scrub that combines both physical and chemical exfoliation to visibly minimize pores and smooth dull, uneven skin. The unique marshmallow-like texture washes away debris and excess oils, leaving skin soft and refreshed. And the scent—a blend of jasmine, geranium and subtle citrus—is completely transporting.
Once Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub has worked its magic, apply our Red Algae Clarifying Mask to your T-zone (or all over if you have oily or blemish-prone skin). Bentonite clay removes surface impurities and excess oils to detoxify without stripping skin, while a trio of red seaweeds mineralize, leaving skin refreshed and radiant. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Step 3: Mist & Refresh
The secret to instantly refreshed, radiant skin? A hydrating mist. Our Sea Minerals Mist, infused with a trio of antioxidant-rich seaweed and hyaluronic acid, tones, primes, sets and refreshes for a dewy finish. A quick spritz can bring your morning makeup back to life or give you a hydrated canvas if you need to quickly reapply. You’ll want to keep this mist on hand at all times, in all seasons.
Step 4: Hydrate & Moisturize
If your skin is feeling particularly thirsty or you’re prone to dryness or dehydration, you might want to add in a hydrating serum here. The key is to look for products with hyaluronic acid like our Hyaluronic Sea Serum. For fine lines and wrinkles, try our bio-retinol and hyaluronic acid packed Dream Night Serum, clinically shown to visibly reduce crow’s feet, fine lines, wrinkles, and even deep wrinkles.
One of the best ways to get photo-ready skin is by applying a moisturizer. Photos can accentuate dry, flaky skin, and when your skin lacks proper hydration, any makeup you apply can look uneven or cakey and fade faster. Even if you have oily or acne-prone skin, applying a clean moisturizer will help you look your best with supple, nourished skin. Our Seabiotic® Water Cream is perfect for all skin types. Our ultra-lightweight water cream delivers more than 72 hours of deep hydration thanks to ingredients such as seaweed and plant-derived squalane.
Step 5: Gloss & Shine
Now that your face is hydrated, it’s time to shine. Use our Dayglow Face Oil® as the last step in your routine to instantly illuminate for a dewy, glazed finish. Or simply dab it on cheekbones and the bridge of your nose for an ethereal sheen. Think of Dayglow as your-skin-only-glowier, without the shimmer or glitter of makeup-y highlighters. It pairs nutrient-rich Undaria seaweed (rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins) with omegas 6 and 9 (courtesy of organic Moroccan argan oil) to help replenish the skin’s moisture barrier.
Finish with a swipe of our Hyaluronic Lip Oil Booster. This rich yet lusciously lightweight, non-sticky lip oil delivers the high shine of a gloss with the nourishment of a balm for a softer, plumper-looking pout that looks as good in photos as it does in real life.
Step 6: Holiday Body Care
It’s not just the skin on your face that needs a little extra care during the holiday season. The skin on the rest of the body also deserves TLC. Start by layering our Undaria Algae™ Body Lotion on freshly cleansed skin. Rich in Undaria seaweed and hyaluronic acid, it visibly firms skin in just four hours. Finish with our bestselling Undaria Algae™ Body Oil for party-perfect, luminous skin in every shot.
Cheers to glowing through the holidays and into the New Year!
