The Epicutis Holiday Boxes Are Here: One for Face, One for Body

The Epicutis holiday boxes just landed in the studio, and this year there are two: one for your face and, for the first time, one for your body. Both are limited edition, both come gorgeously boxed and ready to gift, and both are available now in the shop.

If you've sat in my treatment room, you know how often I reach for Epicutis. It's lipid-rich, barrier-first skincare that does exactly what it says, with no fuss and nothing extra. These boxes are the easiest way I know to try the line, stock up on your favorites, or give someone on your list a genuinely good gift this season.

The Holiday Box for Face: $499 ($720 value)

This is the Epicutis Simple System, all grown up and dressed for the holidays. You get the full-size three-step routine I recommend constantly, plus a travel set of the same three so your skin doesn't lose its routine the minute you leave the house.

Inside the box:

• Oil Cleanser (full size): melts away makeup, SPF and the day without stripping your barrier.
• Lipid Serum (full size): my barrier's best friend. Calming, strengthening and deeply hydrating.
• Hyvia Crème (full size): a rich, restorative moisturizer that leaves skin supple, not greasy.
• Travel Simple System: minis of the Oil Cleanser, Lipid Serum and Hyvia Crème.
• Lipid Recovery Mask for Eyes: for the mornings after the holiday party.
• The Ritual Stone: a sleek stone tray that turns your counter into a moment.
• Luxury travel bag: sized for the minis and anything else you can't travel without.

Why I love it: cold, dry Central Coast air plus holiday travel is hard on skin, and this routine is built for exactly that. Three steps, morning and night. It's also the box I'd hand to a client who wants to simplify but still wants results.

Best for: anyone with dry, dehydrated, sensitized or "my skin just feels off" skin, frequent travelers, and the person who has everything except a routine that works.

The Holiday Box for Body: $375

This one is new, and I'm a little obsessed. Epicutis teamed up with massage and lymphatic educator Cecily Braden on a three-step body ritual: exfoliate, get things moving, then replenish. We spend so much time on our faces and then give our bodies whatever lotion is closest. This box fixes that.

1. Exfoliate with the Body Scrub. Fine sugar crystals and rice powder polish away dullness and rough texture, while omega-rich Hyvia keeps skin soft instead of tight.
2. Brush with The Lymphatic Brush by Cecily Braden. Her original, patented brush uses textured bristles to gently encourage fluid movement, bringing a little lymphatic-massage feeling into your at-home routine.
3. Revive with the Lipid Body Treatment (full size). Deep, lasting hydration that helps skin look smoother and feel firmer.

Why I love it: it turns body care into an actual ritual, and the brush makes it feel like you booked something. Try it before a holiday event, or on Sunday nights when you need ten quiet minutes.

Best for: the self-care girlie, anyone with dry or rough skin on arms and legs, and anyone who already loves a good lymphatic massage.

Which Box Is for Whom?

If you're stuck, here's the quick version. Or get one of each: face for her, body for you. I won't tell.

Grab Yours Before They're Gone

Both boxes are limited edition and I have a small allocation, so once they're gone, they're gone until next year. Orders over $200 ship free, which means either box ships on me.

Want to try the products first? Book a Signature Facial at the studio at The Dunes in Marina and I'll tell you which box your skin is asking for. Or stop by and pick one up in person.

Happy gifting, and happy glowing.
