Need to update your luxury skincare routine for 2025?
Here are the skincare products I’ve been using to combat winter dryness, adult acne, and fine lines.
As mentioned in my previous luxury skincare post, I pick up my products from local spa. As my skin, diet, health, and local weather are always changing, my aesthetician recommends different products as needed.
Like the San Diego weather itself, my skin has been extraordinarily dry. Fortunately, a facial and a few product switches have already been helping.
Below is my complete luxury skincare regimen for Winter 2025.
Step 1: Cleanser: IS Clinical Cleansing Complex
If I am wearing makeup, I will also use the e.l.f. cleansing balm before washing my face.
Step 2: Toner: Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 PIGM 400
This is my all-over toner. However, I will also spot-treat with the extremely potent original BR P50.
Optional Step 3: Weekly Mask and/or Spot Treatment as Needed: Biologique Recherche Masque Vivant
I like to use this masque vivant only as a spot treatment, because it’s quite drying. It does a great job of clearing up pores though. It’s like a vacuum for your skin.
Step 4: MBR Medical Beauty Research Normalizing Lipid & Sebum Care
This gel prepares my skin to better absorb the serums and moisturizers up next in my routine.
Step 5: Biologique Recherche Complexe Iribiol Serum
A water-based serum, Complexe Iribiol sinks nicely into your skin almost instantly. It helps balance sebum production.
Step 6: Serum Future Beauty Drops No. 1
Future is a new-to-me skincare brand that I’ve been loving. The formulas feel so nourishing and fresh.
Step 7: Valmont Hyrda3 Eye Emulsion
In my quest for the perfect eye cream, I’m currently trying Valmont’s cult classic. I have already noticed an improvement of my upper eyelids.
Step 8: Future Extreme No. 3 Cream
Another new product from Future, this rich cream leaves your skin glowing. However, it’s a bit too thick to wear under makeup.
Final Thoughts on Luxury Skincare in 2025
As you can see, my luxury skincare routine for winter 2025 is focused on hydration, nourishment, and anti-aging. These products have been working wonders for my skin, helping to combat dryness, adult acne, and fine lines. If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your skincare routine this winter, and you share similar skin concerts, I’d recommend these products. They’re worth the investment and will leave your skin looking and feeling its best.
As I mentioned in my previous post on luxury skincare, I haven’t had great luck with dupes or drugstore skincare products.
If you’re not sure which products would suit your skin, it’s worth visiting your local spa. Your esthetician will be able to match products to your unique needs. What are your holy grail skincare products? I’d love to hear from you!
