The CyberDERM staffers are pretty modest gals but like all of us, they have their eyes on a couple of key things this Christmas. They give the gift of beautiful skin everyday so for this month- we thought it would be fun to see what is on their holiday wish list and near and dear to their hearts during the season.
Karina:
lesson I've learned this year: Be thankful for the negative things and people in your life because they teach you what not to do and how not to react to situations. I have learned patience and acceptance.

gift I would most like to receive: 2 plane tickets to California for Christmas and New Year!
my favorite cyberderm product: the Every Morning Sun Whip! The H2o Hydration comes in pretty close too.
favourite other product: This is hard I have so many but I would have to say my Jane Iredale Amazing base foundation it gives me a flawless complexion, has added SPF and no chemicals so it's good for your skin and good for the earth.
tip for your skin surviving winter: Hydration! Drink plenty of water eat plenty of organic fruits and veggies.
tips for getting ready for holiday parties: Exfoliate , and then spray tan! Make sure you do exfoliate first though. Shimmer is great on the decolte: 24 carat gold dust shimmer from Jane Iredale with actual gold flecks. Just remember- shimmer, not sparkles. Top it off with lots of gloss, perfectly manicured nails and your hair blown out.
Mary Kay:

| Mary Kay- Adding the Presents Below |
lesson learned this year: As a busy mom of three active boys it's hard to take time for yourself. This year I finally realized how important it is and ensure that I find the time.
gift you would most like to receive: I feel guilty because I really don't need anything but if I put my guilt aside I would really love a Michael Kors watch.
favourite CyberDERM product: I love the H2O Hydration. Especially this time of year.
favourite other product: I just discovered Jane Iredale Just Kissed. It's a lip stick that works with your PH. It's a different color one everyone.
tip for your skin surviving winter: Keep hydrating - serums are a great help.
tip for getting ready for holiday parties: I'm a no fuss type of girl but when I do put in some effort I do like the new BB creme which gives a flawless complexion and I also like the rose gold eye glitter.
Lorena:
lesson learned this year: I realized that sometimes when you don’t get what
you want it’s not because you don’t deserve it but because you deserve more.

gift you would most like to receive: Loose tea leaves from all over the world. I love my
tea black and bitter!
favourite CyberDERM product: I don’t just have one, I love two. I love mixing
the H2O Hydration with my Simply Zinc for better absorption.
favourite other product: I love Jane Iredale’s Amazing Base Loose Powder in Suntan.
tip for your skin surviving winter: While you are still behind the shower curtain and
all the warm steam is trapped in the little space, dry off, and then apply your
body lotion. That way, when you open the curtain your pores will close up and
retain the moisturizer for longer.
tip for getting ready for holiday parties: For extra root volume I like washing my hair at
night and when I lay down I lift it up so It’s spread above the top of my
pillow away from my neck and face. That way, when it dries the roots were
straight up giving it a natural root boost for the next day.
Sara:
lesson learned this year: I'm trying to take more cues from yoga- I like it because it gets me out of my head and focused in the present. Two things that I've learned- you can only control what you put into the world so focus on that. The second is if you have something negative buzzing about you, don't avoid it but breathe into it.

| Sara: Decorating the Office Furniture |
gift you would most like to receive: I love party dresses but it is not really something that other people can buy for me- I would wear one every day if I could. In which case, accessories to go with party dresses works just wonderfully!
favourite CyberDERM product: Every Morning Sun Whip- I sometimes forget how amazing this is until I'm having a bad skin day and I apply this with my make-up over top. No matter, how red, dry or splotchy I was before, it gives me really pretty, glow-y skin.
favourite other product: Urban Decay eye liner because you have thirty seconds to get the line right and then it does not budge the rest of the day. I also love Jane Iredale- my boyfriend always comments how natural my make-up looks compared to others that he sees.
tip for your skin surviving winter: I need a new tip but this one is so good: olive oil in your bath. You just need a capful and your whole body is moisturized and it has no risk for becoming allergic to it like baby oil. Guests will ask why you have a Costco size of olive oil in the bathroom but it's worth it.
tip for getting ready for holiday parties: I just bought this body oil that has gold shimmer to it so its perfect for applying to your legs and arms before a party. Mine is by Lucy B. called Frangipani and it has a lovely natural scent to it so it doubles as perfume.
