Picking out the perfect holiday present for everyone you know is no small feat. One way to simplify your search is to focus on a single category of gifts. This eliminates last-minute shopping trips where you’re running in and out of what feels like every store in the mall to find gifts for the ones you love.
That’s where skincare gift sets come in. Everyone can use a well-curated skincare gift box, from your skincare-obsessed friend to the low-maintenance skincare novice in your life. It all comes down to matching the right skincare products to the right person. Here, we break down what to gift your favorite people from our 2024 beauty, grooming, and skincare gift guide.
The Gift of Self-Care in Skincare
Create the ultimate self-care night with your sibling whose love language is quality time and gift-giving. Pick up some snacks, drinks, and the gift of three top-rated, nature-inspired face masks from the Multi-Masking Minis Gift Set holiday set. You can use the time to catch up with your sibling while your skin enjoys one of the three travel-sized face masks.
To treat skin dullness, we have the Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask, which boosts brightness and promotes a healthy-looking glow. If someone you know is dealing with blackheads or oily skin, the Rare Earth Deep Pore Minimizing Cleansing Clay Mask helps minimize clogged pores for a clearer appearance. Finally, they can use the highly moisturizing Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Face Mask if their skin is feeling extra dry. Infused with Squalane, this mask can be used as an overnight hydrator or a 15-minute mask when you slather on a visible layer of it.
For the Novice Who Needs a Skincare Routine
Fresh Start Men's Essentials Gift Set
Chances are the young men in your life may not have a solid skincare routine. Remedy this by gifting them the Fresh Start Men's Essentials Gift Set ($47, $68 value), which features three full-sized versions of Kiehl's best-selling men's grooming products. For his face, he will enjoy the Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash and Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment. These two men's skincare staples are infused with energizing Caffeine and hydrating Vitamin E that work in tandem to help promote smoother, more awake-looking skin.
If your younger brother or teenage son seems extra tired in the morning when getting ready for school, introduce this two-step skincare regimen to add a jumping start to their routine, no coffee necessary. This skincare gift for him also includes a bar of “Ultimate Man” Body Scrub Soap, an invigorating oatmeal and bran exfoliating body soap. He will have all his grooming needs covered, making this easily one of our best things to purchase for men this holiday season.
For Your Grandfather Who Ages with Grace
Daily Defenders For The Ages Gift Set
He might be your superhero, but granddads (and dads) are human, too — and that means he is aging just like the rest of us. Help him look as young on the outside as he feels on the inside with the Daily Defenders For The Ages Gift Set ($86, $117 value). For starters, this men's gift set includes a bottle of the Ultra Facial Cleanser, which helps remove dirt and debris without stripping or over-drying the skin, leaving it clean and soft. He will also enjoy full-sized versions of two skincare staples from the Age Defender line that help minimize the signs of aging — Age Defender Cream Moisturizer, which helps firm and smooth men's thicker, coarser skin, and Age Defender Eye Repair, for addressing the appearance of under-eye wrinkles, dark circles, and crow's feet.
Your grandfather will not have to worry about a complicated skincare routine with this three-step set that cleanses the face and adds the moisture that aging skin needs. If he does not already have sunscreen in his grooming and skincare regimen, add to his gift bag the Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50+, which protects skin from the sun's dangerous rays that lead to signs of aging.
