Holiday Gift Guides: Skincare Gifts

Greet the season with beautiful skin! Skincare gift sets make for the perfect holiday gifts—they’re practical, travel friendly, and there’s a set for everyone’s taste. Let’s look at a few of our favorite holiday gift sets of the season, with recommendations for every personality on your list.

The life of the party

An essential guest at every festive gathering, they’re extroverted, charming, and love to bring people together. This means that they always want to look their best—our Dewy, Hydrated Skin Trio is the ideal gift to ensure they do. Offering a trio of hydration essentials, this skincare gift set features the facial toner, serum, and moisturizer from our Rose Collection. These hydrating products have been formulated with damask rose extract, rose water, and rose oil to soothe, strengthen, and balance the complexion, as well as hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture, plus time-release technology to ensure lasting hydration and comfort.

To use, swipe on Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner after cleansing to soften skin and refine the look of pores. Follow with Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum to deeply nourish the skin, and complete with Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream to seal the goodness in and plump skin with moisture for a naturally dewy finish.

For the luxury lover

They appreciate the finer things in life, and that includes their skincare. They see self-care as an investment and aren't afraid to splurge on things that add value to their life. For them, we recommend Crème Ancienne Eye & Face Cream Duo. Featuring our indulgent Crème Ancienne collection, these products provide intense nourishment. Smooth on the eye treatment to intensely nourish, firm, and diminish visible puffiness around the eye area. Bacillus ferment boosts firmness, vitamin E soothes, beeswax preserves moisture, and meadowfoam seed oil softens the skin. Pair with our rich, restorative face cream—handmade in a monastery—to visibly smooth the look of lines, improve skin stability, and nourish delicate skin for a truly luxurious holiday.

For the fitness fanatic

We all know someone obsessed with fitness—they may wake up at 5 am to squeeze in an early-morning workout and spend their weekends hiking or playing sports. While their dedication is certainly admirable, proper skincare is essential to support their skin through these daily stressors, like sweat that sits on the skin or extended exposure to sunlight.

The Resilient Skin Ritual Set is perfect for your fit friend or family member. Featuring the iconic Soy Face Cleanser, Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence, and Tea Elixir Resilience Activating Serum, this powerhouse trio effectively cleanses the skin, helps visibly repair and protect it, and equips skin to resist and diminish visible signs of aging for a naturally smooth, hydrated complexion and luminous glow.

For the workaholic

Whether they work late nights or spend hours in front of the computer, give them something to help manage their stress levels, which can affect their sleep and skin. They may not have the time for an extensive 10-step skincare routine, so a simple 3-step ritual, using skincare products that work as hard as they do, is far better suited for this person, and our Firming Face & Eye Ritual is the perfect gift. Featuring our iconic Soy Face Cleanser, Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Eye Cream, and Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Cream, this set effectively cleanses, refreshes, and firms skin while improving the look of dark circles and wrinkles. Simply cleanse, treat, and moisturize to enjoy visibly improved firmness and radiance.

For the skincare newbie

For those new to the world of skincare, it's important to gift them something they’ll actually use. If they already wear makeup, skincare with a hint of color makes for the perfect introduction! Enter our Color & Care Lip Collection Set—a set of three mini-size lip treatments, plus the Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment, perfect for every look and occasion. Formulated with conditioning sugar crystals, smoothing cranberry seed oil, softening grapeseed oil, and protective vitamins C and E, these balms provide buildable color and up to 24 hours of hydration for a perfectly kissable pout. The set features our iconic shades Sugar Rosé, Honey, and Bloom, and a clear treatment balm that can be swiped on bare lips or over lipstick.
