Bring on the Cheer: the Ingredients of the Perfect Christmas Skincare Gift Set

Life is different during the summer. You go to the beach, you’re wearing lighter clothing, everything is easy-going. And sometimes because of that, you might even forget to take care of your skin. You might forget that your skin is the largest organ and requires your attention always, especially during that time of the year.

Summer also means getting together with family, it’s cheer-time, you have many cocktail parties, holidays, and birthdays to celebrate. And you don’t want to show up empty-handed. So what would a perfect summer gift look like? Maybe you could be that wonderful reminder for someone else about the importance of skin pampering, especially during the holidays.

What Should the Perfect Skin Pampering Kit Gift Include?

Skincare Products for Your Loved Ones

This skincare gift set can include all sorts of pampering combinations, depending on whom you’re giving it to. There are starter packs for rejuvenation and youthful glow of the skin, a moisturizing collection with luxurious face and body butter, also a skincare kit with products that benefit sensitive acne-prone skin.

Skincare products have reached their peak as we see new products hitting the market every day, so learning about your friend’s skincare habits, consulting with them and knowing their type could benefit you and shorten your shopping process. You can also make the combination, for example, body lotion, face serum and hand cream via the internet. The beauty of ordering online is when websites organize their available items by your preference of skin type, active ingredients, benefits and concerns. This way you can make sure the items are complementing each other and the kit you’re choosing is going to make a great match for the person you’re getting it for.

Another thing you should perhaps pay attention to is the fragrance of the products. Some people prefer sweeter notes while others like citrusy or fresher, more vegetation-like smells. If you aren’t sure, check in with your friend and see what they prefer. I can’t stress enough how many times I wasn’t able to use a body lotion, for example, simply because the fragrance wasn’t appealing to my senses. But then again, you can’t know everything about someone so take your chance and remember that what matters is your effort and thoughtfulness.

And don’t forget to consider the sun protection factor and check the detailed list of ingredients. While some products are packed with vitamins and things that are actually beneficial to your skin, others just have fillers and this is something you need to pay attention to when buying skincare.

Comfortable Bathrobes and Towels Belong to Your Holiday Gifts Exchange

Nobody likes to exit the bathroom after a hot shower, and then feel wet, cold and uncomfortable. That’s why having a bathrobe is more than just a luxury, it’s more like a necessity. You also want to pick a bathrobe made of a comfortable material that is gentle and soft on the skin, for example, bamboo, cotton or linen bathrobe. You can also look at luxury bathrobes online and complement your skincare kit with yet another gift that expresses your love and care.

And what compliments a bathrobe better than having a thick bathroom towel? There’s never a time when a towel isn’t useful. Especially if you’re coming out of the shower and you need to dry out your hair or legs faster. During this holiday season go ahead and spoil someone with a brand new set of bathroom towels.

Beyond just a bathroom towel, a soft beach towel is just as necessary for those days when you simply want to lay back and feel comfortable in your skin and enjoy the summer day. So depending on whom you’re gifting this pampering set to and the kind of activities they’re into you can choose something they will be able to use and love.

Additionally, if you know that your friend has recently renovated their bathroom, walk an extra mile and try to match the colours with their newly decorated space. All of our connections with others are based on listening to each other and paying attention to our needs and wants. And although this may sound like just another holiday gift exchange, paying attention to the little details goes a long way. This is why I love recommending gift sets based on the season you’re in. Because gifts should be useful, practical, and of course, meaningful for everyone included.

The Cherry on The Top: Quality Face Mask and Face Massager

Whatever combination you decide to go with, you probably want to stick with the rule of three when it comes to presents. So, if you’re looking for the cherry on the top, a refreshing face mask could be your answer. During the summertime when we expose ourselves to the sun, keeping our skin nourished and moisturized is key to glowing and youthful skin. And as you get older and more sensitive to the weather elements you will appreciate using sunscreen and protecting your skin every day not just during your summer vacation.

Speaking of nourishment, the skincare market today is bursting with innovative ideas on how to pack as many benefits into one product. And every brand is also trying to accomplish efficiency into the applying process of the product as well. That’s why you have face massagers or also known as face rollers, that offer cooling properties and could be made of rose quartz, amethyst, obsidian or metal. A 2018 study shows that using a facial massage roller for even just a couple of minutes can increase blood flow to the cheeks, therefore, reduce puffiness, bringing freshness to the skin.

Not only is using a facial roller to massage your face relaxing, but it also has skincare benefits. Gently rolling or massaging the delicate skin on your face, neck, and clavicle stimulates blood flow, helps with lymphatic drainage, and may even help to make the face appear contoured and glowing. Not many people would think about getting this useful yet very simple gadget, that’s why including it in your winter care gift set is truly the cherry on the top your friend deserves to have!
