Glossier, the minimalist mogul, has reprised their wildly popular, limited edition The Skincare Edit. This robust sampler features miniature versions of beloved products Milky Jelly Cleanser, Super Bounce Serum, Priming Moisturizer Rich, Balm Dot Calm (in original and rose), and Futuredew Oil-Serum Hybrid, as well as a pink nylon headband with the iconic white “G” logo.
Nestled into gorgeously understated packaging and secured with the pop of a pink rubber band, each product found inside is more on the miniature plus side – small enough to travel with but generously large enough to undergo a couple week’s worth of trial runs. The kit’s instructions guide you through a hydration hike starting with the lightly floral-scented, gentle cleanser and ending with the radiance-inducing Futuredew Serum. By the end of this self-care saunter, you’ll leave your bathroom looking like you just put in a B+ showing at Pilates: not shiny, but glowing from a whisper of effort.
Gifting karma was kind because after giving The Skincare Edit to the daughters of a family friend, Mom received it as a Christmas gift. Even though her favorite part is the Futuredew Serum, I love getting a face full of rose Balm Dot Calm when she kisses me. I’m a serious lotion licker and her face smells (and tastes) like fresh cut flowers. Even Dad dips into the Priming Moisturizer Rich for his dry skin. This topical treasure trove is perfect for a range of ages and skin types, making it an ample and affordable gift for anyone from sister to bestie to work wife.
