Gifts For Every Skin Concern
Whether you or your loved ones are dealing with breakouts, dullness, uneven skin tones, signs of aging, dryness (especially in the cold winter months) or a combination, gifting products that target a specific skin concern shows how much you care about their self-care!
Dullness
Nothing can dull the sparkle of this festive season quite like dull skin. Bring back the glow with nourishing oils and a vitamin-rich powder that will supercharge the glow factor for any cream moisturizer!
Dryness
There is less moisture around during winter months, which can make any existing dryness in skin even worse. Plus, many of us are also guilty of cranking up the thermostat, which further strips moisture from the air and skin. Bring it back with one of these hydrating gifts:
One way to soothe and hydrate the look of dry skin is with the Rosehip Triple C+E Oil. This luxurious product contains results-oriented actives and ingredients that provide intense hydration and protection to the skin.
Made with coconut oil, shea butter and Natural Retinol Alternative, the Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer hydrates dry skin, while providing other benefits like reducing the visible signs of aging and helping the skin appear firmer and tighter. Plus, it’s a best seller that skin care fanatics keep coming back to.
For the one on your list who has everything, the Superfood Booster-Powder will amp up and supercharge their skin care. Packed with vitamins and superfoods, a dash of this ultra-fine, innovative powder in any cream moisturizer will give skin a healthy, natural glow.
Redness
Velvet bows, poinsettias and maybe a glass of wine should be the only red you’re seeing this time of year. If you or someone on your shopping list deals with redness from sensitivity, outdoor elements or rosacea, here are some gift ideas that could help improve the look of it.
Filled with ingredients that can help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier, including jasmine flower, which visibly relieves the look of redness, the Kombucha Microbiome Foaming Cleanser makes the perfect gift for anyone looking to remove impurities, refresh and balance the microbiome of the skin.
Precious herbs and nourishing oils are the foundation of our Facial Recovery Oil. Known as “liquid gold,” this potent potion reduces the look of red, dry skin while rejuvenating, hydrating and balancing.
The name says it all! The Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer hydrates sensitive skin with gentle chamomile and arnica ingredients. Combined with shea butter and calendula oil, this moisturizer is an effective way to relieve the appearance of redness.
Large Pores
Give the gift of healthy, smooth-looking skin by minimizing the look of large pores.
Since mild exfoliation can be a game-changer for large pores, we recommend the Pineapple Refining Tonique for anyone looking to minimize their appearance. And the fresh pineapple scent makes the gift even brighter and sweeter ー something especially welcome through the winter.
Mangosteen Gel Moisturizer is a lightweight gel-cream moisturizer that minimizes the look of pores and promotes natural radiance and the appearance of smoother skin. What’s not to love?
Breakouts
Cameras are out and the party circuit may feel like your full-time job right now. And whether the stress of the season is causing breakouts, or hormones are to blame, now is the time to treat yourself or your loved ones to the gift of clear skin.
The Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser and Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer are a dynamic duo for problem skin. Both contain cucumber and tea tree to help improve the appearance of blemishes and reduce the look of inflammation. Plus, the probiotics included in both formulas exfoliate and leave the complexion looking calm.
A facial mask is a thoughtful way to introduce some relaxation into a loved one’s life. The Eight Greens Phyto Masque – Hot will allow them a spicy and zippy five to 10 minute break in their day or evening to sit and wait for this tingly, antioxidant-rich formula to improve the look of problem skin areas, particularly for hormonal acne.
Uneven Skin Tone
It may be winter, but that doesn’t mean that sun exposure isn’t taking a toll on the skin. Hyperpigmentation and dark spots can show up year-round and now is a great time to treat uneven skin tone with some gifts that are packaged and ready to go. You may even feel the need to gift one to yourself!
For those dealing with uneven skin tones, the Natural Retinol Alternative in the Bamboo Age Corrective Masque can help fade the appearance of dark spots. Mix it with the Strawberry Rhubarb Masque to help tone down the visible signs of aging.
Who doesn’t love a glow-up? Gift the Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum to brighten up the holidays. The potent Vitamin C in this serum is stabilized by botanically-derived ferulic acid, meaning that it delivers antioxidants to help brighten skin, improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles and reduce the appearance of free radical damage.
Signs of Aging
You’re never too old to believe in the magic of the holiday season! However, your skin might beg to differ. Bring back the youthful glow and treat the ghosts of Christmas past with some presents that will add sparkle well into the future!
Monoi Age Corrective Night Cream For Face & Neck unites fragrant Tahitian monoi and evening primrose oils with our Argan Stem Cell Complex to rejuvenate the look of aging skin and smooth the appearance of wrinkles.
The deeply nourishing ingredients in our Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil will help reveal a soft, hydrated and youthful-looking complexion. It is also a great oil to use when practicing the ancient art of gua sha. One of the reasons gua sha has been loved for centuries is the fact that it invigorates the skin. Experience the oil yourself or gift to someone who loves to indulge in their skin care.
Gifts For Every Budget
When it comes to holiday shopping, we all know that it’s the thought that counts. And whether you’re looking for the showstopper or just a few stocking stuffers, we have some suggestions that will make spirits (and complexions) bright.
Luxury
There is nothing more luxurious than giving (or receiving) a gift that will help the recipient look and feel their best. And it doesn’t get much more luxurious than one of our most loved oils. The Facial Recovery Oil and the Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil are full of nourishing ingredients that will leave the skin feeling amazing.
Another perfectly packaged present that will excite any skin care fanatic is the Arctic Berry Peel & Peptide Illuminating System. This three-step kit keeps skin looking radiant and revitalized in between spa treatments.
The Marine Flower Peptide Serum is an easily absorbed, potent gel serum that delivers concentrated plant peptides and botanicals to the skin. Its luxurious ingredients diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for visibly smoother, plumper and more youthful-looking skin. Ideal for all skin types, especially aging skin, this serum rejuvenates the look of the complexion while unique algae extracts increase firmness and provide long-lasting hydration.
