This time of year carries such supportive energy for setting fresh goals and kick-starting whatever you’re craving to experience in the new year, whether that’s exciting new challenges, nourishing rituals, or simply more peace and moments of love.
At Citrine, we’re entering 2025 with hearts full of excitement for all the beautiful moments ahead, including incredible events and launches we can’t wait to share with you. Stay tuned—it’s going to be an exciting year!
This January, I’m focusing on glow-ups from the inside out, refining my rituals, and reconnecting with practices that bring me bliss, beauty, and balance. After the whirlwind of the holidays, January feels like a grounding moment to prioritize wellness and elevate our lives for the year ahead. Below, you’ll find my top five favorite products this month—each thoughtfully chosen to help you feel your most confident, creative, and connected self. Here’s to a fresh start and a magical year ahead!
There’s something effortlessly luxurious about this scrub, and the fact that it comes in a sleek, easy-to-use tube makes it even better. The user-friendly packaging makes your exfoliation ritual seamless. The scrub itself is infused with mineral-rich sea crystals and volcanic rock, which gently yet effectively buff away dry, flaky skin, leaving your body feeling baby-soft. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients like organic sunflower oil to deeply hydrate and smooth, while red algae extract boosts elasticity and vitality. I personally can’t get enough of the spa-like scent—it’s a total zen moment, both invigorating and sensual, creating a self-care ritual that feels indulgent after the holiday season. Regular exfoliation is especially important in winter to keep your skin radiant, boost circulation, and allow your body lotion to absorb better. This is a true winter must-have for keeping your skin silky-smooth, glowing, and buttery-soft all season long.
Every winter, the Ayuna Balm becomes a staple in my masking rotation. This luxe multitasking treatment deeply detoxifies, purifies, and revitalizes the skin. The rich, thick balm has a volcanic clay texture, and the deep black color makes it feel grounding and indulgent. It combats dullness and occasional breakouts, addressing blemishes with instantaneous results. Formulated with volcanic glass and activated carbon, it gently draws out impurities and relieves sensitivity, leaving your skin deeply cleansed yet supple. It also features Pullulan, a natural sugar that forms a hydrating and tightening film on the skin, enhancing its natural barrier and resilience. I especially love how it instantly firms and smooths my skin, making it the ultimate pick-me-up when I need a glow boost. One of my favorite ways to use it is in a double-masking ritual alongside Ayuna Essence for a total resurfacing duo.
Heretic’s Blood Orange is a vibrant, juicy burst of citrus that instantly uplifts your mood and gets your energy flowing. With top notes of red mandarin, bitter orange, lemon, and bergamot; middle notes of champaca, pink lotus, and jasmine; and base notes of ambrettolide, benzoin, and vanilla absolute, this fragrance has a warm, tangy, citrusy floral quality. I love this clean fragrance for its ability to awaken creativity and inspiration. The sweet citrus notes are energizing and beautifully aligned with sacral chakra activation, helping to awaken our sensuality and creative flow. Whether worn as a signature scent or layered with other Heretic fragrances, it’s a refreshing boost of confidence to step into the new year.
This exciting new serum from Fitglow is like a daily multivitamin for your skin—packed with everything it needs to stay healthy, radiant, and resilient. This serum has become a staple in my routine, especially as we head into a new year where glowing skin is always in style. It’s loaded with 20% Vitamin C, Niacinamide (B3), and Glutathione, which work synergistically to brighten, firm, and repair. Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals, reduces oxidative stress, and brightens the complexion by fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
This serum also features collagen boosters and a Licorice Arbutin Bright Complex to reduce hyperpigmentation and keep skin irritation at bay. With an ultra-lightweight, silky formula that absorbs instantly, it’s perfect under makeup. If you’re looking for a powerhouse serum that delivers real results and feels luxurious, this is it.
I’m completely obsessed with the Kypris Lip Elixir Balm—it’s like a little pot of luxury for your lips. Infused with the heavenly scent of jasmine (my absolute favorite), this decadent treatment is perfect for an overnight glow-up or a silky layer of hydration during the day. Packed with plant stem cells and peptides, this clean lip balm deeply nourishes and revitalizes the delicate lip area, leaving your lips plump and perfectly pampered. For me, this balm is the ultimate indulgence at the end of my evening ritual—a little extra dose of luxury.
If you’re looking to have a 2025 glow-up, I suggest elevating your nighttime ritual with little details like hand cream, overnight face masks, a spritz of your favorite natural perfume, and ensuring your lips are super hydrated. This balm is perfect for layering over your favorite liner or lipstick for extra hydration, making your clean beauty rituals feel even more special.
