For the Serum Lover
Serums are the heart of most routines, so they make a thoughtful gift. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair is a long-time favorite with hyaluronic acid for hydrated, smoother-looking skin. Lancôme Génifique Ultimate Serum is another best-seller and comes in a generous 100ml size.
For Someone Who Has Everything
If you want a true luxury gift, La Mer The Treatment Lotion is an iconic choice. It is a lightweight lotion used after cleansing to prep skin for the rest of the routine.
For Glowing Skin
SK-II Pitera Treatment Essence is a cult Japanese essence that helps skin look smooth and radiant. It is a great gift for anyone who loves a glowy, healthy look.
For Dry Winter Skin
Cold weather can leave skin tight and dry. A rich moisturizer like Obagi Hydrate Luxe Moisture-Rich Cream is a cozy winter gift. For daytime, ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 hydrates and adds sun protection.
For Tired Eyes
The LifeCell Cooling Under-Eye Treatment has a refreshing cooling applicator that feels great in the morning. It is a fun, useful stocking stuffer.
For the Makeup Lover
A good cleansing balm makes removing makeup easy and gentle. Farmacy Green Clean melts away makeup and SPF and leaves skin feeling soft.
