Holiday season is upon us! And what better present is there than the gift of glowing, youthful-looking skin? Here are the best products to stock up on for every girl on your list.
1. For the Skincare Minimalist
Dealing with a girl who just splashes some water on her face or slathers on a simple moisturizer before bed? She’ll need a multi-tasking product that checks all the boxes without any extra work. After all, just because she’s short on time doesn’t mean she should look less than her best.
We recommend you start with a versatile moisturizer like the Cloud Whip vitamin C cream. Packed with skin-protecting vitamin C, ultra-hydrating jojoba oil, skin-strengthening MSM, and soothing rosehip and chamomile, this do-it-all moisturizer will hydrate, smooth, and protect the skin in one simple nightly step.
2. For the Girl With All the Products
Is her vanity overflowing with masks, serums, and moisturizers galore? You might feel like you shouldn’t even bother adding to her impressive regimen -- she has everything she could possibly want, right? Wrong.
She has so many products because she love skincare, so getting the right gift is all about helping her get the most out of the products she already uses and loves.
To this end, we recommend a micro needle derma roller. The hundreds of tiny needles on the rollers surface will help all that great product soak into her skin for maximized benefits. It’ll also help:
- Minimize pore size
- Boost collagen production
- Strengthen the skin’s natural barrier
- Increase elasticity
- Decrease hyperpigmentation
In short, it’ll provide clearer, more even skin in a simple rolling pin -- a must for any skincare junkie.
3. For the Dry Skinned Diva
Is she always fighting with dry, flaky, or irritated skin? Give her the gift of TLC with the Daily Essentials Routine for Dry Skin!
Here’s the thing with dry skin: it’s complicated! And if she’s dealing with serious tightness, flaking, and discomfort, it’s impossible to fix with just one ingredient or product.
Instead, you need a combination of humectants, emollients, and occlusives to draw water in and seal it in. You also need:
- Gentle AHAs to slough off dry, dead cells
- Barrier-repairing ingredients like MSM and jojoba oil to strengthen your natural barrier
- Antioxidants like vitamin C to soothe skin and calm redness or damage
You’ll find all of these ingredients in the Pep Rally radiance serum, Bright Side cream cleanser, and Daydreamer restorative moisturizer found in our Daily Essentials routine.
So long, dry skin!
4. For the Acne Fighter
Do stubborn breakouts, blackheads, and texture concerns have her pulling out her hair or piling on extra concealer?
Help her banish those bumps for good with a powerful salicylic acid acne spot treatment. The trick here? You don’t want a spot treatment that’s overly strong and drying. This will have the opposite effect and seal your blemish under dry skin. Instead, look for a combination of ingredients like:
- 2% botanical salicylic acid, which can penetrate the surface and dissolve clogged pores
- Witch hazel, which is an effective astringent with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (bye bye, extra swelling)
- Cloves, a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
And don’t forget the moisturizer!
5. For the Glow Chaser
Have a friend or family member that’s looking for that J.Lo-style, lit-from-within glow? Get her All the Serums!
Why all the serums (rather than just one)? Our skin changes based on many factors, like:
- Sleep quality
- Sun exposure
- Hydration
- The products we use
...you get the picture. And the serum that your skin needs to glow will change accordingly. That’s why we recommend All the Serums, which includes:
- Pep Rally, a gel radiance serum that will protect and hydrate tired skin
- Seeking C vitamin C serum, which will brighten spots, banish blackheads and stop environmental damage in its tracks
- High Society, a botanical facial oil that will restore your skin’s barrier and provide much needed hydration without any skin congestion
6. For the Exfoliation Queen
Particularly around the holiday season, we all need consistent exfoliation.
With gentle, regular exfoliation, you can say goodbye to the dryness and dullness that comes with dehydrating central heating, cold winter wind, and other seasonal skin concerns. Plus, you can battle those day-to-day skin woes like:
- Acne and skin congestion
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Poor texture and tone
Have someone in mind that would love the sound of that? Treat her with the Exfoliation Heroes routine, which includes a cleanser, serum, mask, and scrub that are sure to make her clear skin dreams come true.
7. For the Girl in Need of a Getaway
Have a girl that loves to travel or seriously misses those tropical vibes? Transport her to the beaches of Tulum (while helping her stave off those winter skin woes) with Welcome to the Scrub coconut body scrub or Island Time spray body lotion.
Both formulas are powered by hydrating, smoothing coconut oil and a slew of skin-soothing, protecting and exfoliating skin ingredients like:
- Vitamin E
- Jojoba oil
- Witch hazel
- Rose flower water
8. For the Stressed BFF
Listen - we’re all probably a little stressed right now. But if you have a friend that’s particularly frazzled, help her reset the vibes with our Daily Ritual Essential Oils kit. This set of three aromatherapy oils includes:
- Woke Up Like This, a fresh and energizing floral blend meant to bring confidence, energy, and a pep in your step!
- Issa Vibe, a stress-busting, anxiety-blasting mix of balsam, sandalwood, and other relaxing ingredients
- Nighty Night, a calming mix of lavender, frankincense, and calming chamomile
Don’t know what to pick? Try it all in our All In Routine.
