It's the final week of the dailySpark Holiday Giveaway, and we're really excited about this week's prizes!

If you've been following the dailySpark for awhile, you might remember MISSION Skincare, a company that SparkPeople is proud to call a partner. Josh Shaw, the founder of MISSION Skincare, is a longtime SparkPeople member who used SparkPeople to lose 40 pounds after his appearance on NBC's The Apprentice in 2005.

Josh and his team have quickly built MISSION Skincare into a great company with revolutionary and affordable skincare products ranging from sunscreens and lip balms to anti-friction and foot creams. Their athlete partners are very involved in the product development and marketing, and together, they are not only creating breakthrough products, but they are also helping to support their various charitable foundations. MISSION Skincare donates a percentage of its profits to the athletes' foundations.

The company's awesome Deluxe Bundle Kit (containing 12 products valued at way more than the $49.99 sticker price) recently was featured on the TODAY Show as part of the show's holiday gift guide, and in addition to giving away THREE to lucky dailySpark readers, the company is generously offering 20% off all orders at www.MISSIONskincare.com and free shipping on the Deluxe Bundle Kit and any order more than $50. WooHoo! (Read on for details!)

I personally use several of MISSION's products: Rejuvenating Face Moisturizer Lotion with SPF 30, ALL-SPORT SPF 50+ Continuous Spray, Maximum Strength Muscle Rub, and Wild Berry Ultra-Gloss, plus several of the lip balms. (Though MISSION has provided us with samples of their products--plus the prize packs, I have also purchased the products on my own.) I like that in addition to offering quality products, the company gives back--and really believes in its "mission":

What They Say: "Teaming up with scientists and skincare industry veterans, we've established an entirely new category--high-performance, athlete-engineered skincare. Engineered in MISSION Labs, the entire MISSION Skincare line is designed, and has been proven, to meet the specific needs of athletes across all sports. With vital nutrients and antioxidants, MISSION Skincare is the best equipment for your skin, allowing athletes to focus on their sport and maximize their performance.

"It's our MISSION to make a difference, not just by making the best skincare products. We want to make a difference in the world. MISSION Skincare proudly supports the charities and foundations of our professional athlete partners.

"Though the products are designed with athletes in mind, they're for anyone with an active lifestyle--whether you are running a marathon, taking a brisk walk or trying to keep up with your kids at the beach. For example, the Anti-Friction Cream won the Shape Magazine Innovation Award for 2009 (perfect for any skin-to-skin chafing or even for rubbing of shoes and bra straps).

"The products are all paraben free, not tested on animals and manufactured in the USA. They are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants. (See individual product pages for more details about ingredients.)"

Now about that contest…
