10 Best Holiday Gift Ideas For Beauty Obsessive Women
Buying holiday gifts for women is not an easy task, and too many options may make you feel overwhelmed. But fret not.
Skincare makes great holiday gifts for women, and most women love skincare. Thanks to numerous parties and travel plans during the holiday seasons, the skin undergoes a lot of internal and external stress. The skin needs special attention to look radiant and blemish-free. A skincare gift set is useful and will be appreciated.
Here, we list the best holiday gifts that make the women you love to look more beautiful, radiant, and glowing.
1. Super-Hydrating Night Cream or Serum To Help Her Combat Winter Dryness
Winter skin is synonymous with dryness. Lack of moisture in the air, heaters, cold, and wind contribute to severe dryness, and the skin needs extra TLC with intense hydration. Super-hydrating night cream or serum would be a great gift option for women with dry skin. Look for ingredients that include humectants, antioxidants, and anti-aging abilities. Hyaluronic acid, glycerine, and squalene help the skin with hydration and prevent moisture loss.
2. Microcurrent Facial Device
Derms and beauty editors recommend microcurrent facial devices that improve blood circulation, promote collagen and elastin production, improve skin elasticity, and lower the look of lines and wrinkles on the skin. The devices are easy to use, perfect for carrying wherever you travel, and offer a sculpted look. However, the devices are not cheap.
3. Skincare Gift Set
A complete gift set makes perfect holiday gifts for women. Renowned brands have gift sets that include their hero products that target many skin concerns, including aging, uneven skin tone, dull skin, and pigmentation. The holiday season is the best time to buy these products as many brands offer lucrative discounts.
4. Kansa Wand
A Kansa wand is made of bell metal and has its origins in India. The alkaline properties of the metal may help balance the skin’s pH. Massaging the skin with a Kansa wand may improve skin texture, reduce puffiness, and increase glow. When picking a Kansa wand, you need to know its purity, and traditional practitioners recommend only pure Kansa.
5.’Blue Light’ Protection
Now, we all know that blue light from our electronic devices causes skin damage and premature aging. While it is impossible to stop using smartphones, TVs, and tablets, investing in skincare products that offer blue-light protection makes sense. You may come across many serums, creams, and SPFs that promise to protect the skin from light damages and prevent premature aging. Many products are expensive, but you may find some pocket-friendly options too.
6. Lip Balm To Protect Her Pucker
Winter is bad news for people with chronic dry lips. This holiday season, you may gift your woman the best lip care you can afford. Lip skin doesn’t have oil glands and is prone to chapping. A lip balm with Titanium oxide or Zinc oxide may help prevent sunburn if you are having fun in the sun. Lip products with petroleum jelly prevent moisture loss. Consider buying a lip treatment product with hyaluronic acid that promotes moisture.
7. Gold Sculpting Bar
If you have the budget to splurge or have saved money to buy her one of the best holiday gifts she could get, consider investing in a twenty-four-karat gold T- bar that contours and sculpts the skin. The celeb-endorsed product may help achieve a red-carpet skin women dream of.
8. Anti-Aging Device
Lines and wrinkles and loose, sagging skin are stress points for many women. While topicals with anti-aging benefits are a popular option for preventing aging skin signs, radio-frequency devices may offer skin tightening effects. The market has several anti-wrinkle facial devices, but these are not cheap. If you decide to gift one for the woman you love, opt for an FDA-approved device.
9. Dermaplaning Device
If you don’t know what dermaplaning is, it is a safe way to shave fine hair and dead skin cells from the skin. Many women prefer dermaplaning as an effective exfoliation treatment. Different types of dermaplaning tools are available on the market. You may gift a super-affordable set of razors or buy a sonic dermaplaning device that is expensive.
10. Skin Detector Pens
Skin detector pens make great holiday gifts for women who regularly invest time and money in skincare. The pen tells if the skin is dehydrated or oily and needs specific attention. Dermatologists say, often people overuse a product not knowing if the skin needs it. In short, the device helps decide and monitor if certain products are worth using or need to be changed.
10 Unique Holiday Gifts For Men
The holiday season is just around the corner. Plans for travels and parties are already finalized, but you are still stressing over the best holiday gifts you can buy for your boyfriend or your dad or brother – namely, the men in your life. Skincare would be a great option to consider if you are done with buying gadgets, clothes, and golf accessories for them. If you are unsure what to buy, where to start, here are some tips.
1. Toiletry Bags (Dopp Kit) For Men
A sturdy and efficient Dopp kit could be one of the great holiday gifts for men who travel a lot and carry full-spectrum skincare while traveling. Dopp kits are perfect for keeping all essentials neat and organized, saving time and effort in the morning. Whether you have a budget under $50 or want to splurge, you will find many options while shopping for a Dopp kit.
2. Body Oil
Can body oils make the best holiday gifts? Why not? Body oils are ultra-moisturizing and give the skin a gorgeous sheen. For skincare lovers, what could be a better gift? In the dry, dehydrating winter months, body oils are an excellent option for locking in moisture and keeping the skin hydrated. If you think body oils are greasy and leave stains, think again! Modern formulations make them super light, and they penetrate fast and sink in under the skin. While shopping for body oil for your man, consider his skin type and if he has skin issues. You can buy an ayurvedic formulation or one that has a blend of beneficial plant oils. Depending on your budget, you may splurge on a luxurious formula or buy a budget-friendly product.
3. Electric Razors
Electric razors make great holiday gifts for men who love a close, comfortable shave at home. Whether the man concerned is a beginner or one with sensitive skin, you will find a suitable product. Features you should consider while buying:
- If the razor works in both dry and wet mode – more convenient
- If the razor has skin protection – it prevents skin damages
- If the razor is rechargeable – easy to use
- Waterproof – cleaning is easy after use
- Choose razors with rounded edges and independently moving flex heads for a close shave
4. Help Him Feel Fresh With A Deodorant
If you want your man to smell nice and fresh throughout the day, a combo of deodorant and antiperspirant will make a good gift. Recent studies warn against using antiperspirants that contain aluminum that may cause breast cancer. However, this study finds the claim irrelevant. But you have the option to look for deodorants formulated with natural ingredients such as tea tree oil, witch hazel oil, magnesium, baking soda, or arrowroot that cause no health hazards.
5. Fragrance For Men
The winter months are just a few days away, so you may want to consider buying winter fragrance as a gift. Perfumes are perfect holiday gifts for men. But remember that choosing perfume as a gift could be tricky. Some men stick to their signature fragrance, so it is important to know their preferences and buy perfumes that contain the notes. Spicy and woody notes may work best when the mercury drops. You may consider buying perfume with woody notes of cedar, patchouli, or sandalwood.
6. Sheet Mask For Men
Even if your man is not into a 10-step Korean skin regimen, that does not mean you can’t gift him sheet masks. If he is active on Insta, he might have seen Justin Bieber, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Diddy putting on sheet masks. In the skincare hierarchy, the sheet mask comes between cleansers and moisturizers, and you may buy them depending on the skincare your guy needs. For example, charcoal sheet masks are a gentle way to deep-clean the skin, and a bio-cellulose sheet mask soaked in skin-nourishing ingredients may offer instant hydration and brightness without irritating the skin.
7. Personalized Skincare Kit
If the man in your life is reluctant about following a skincare routine, gift him a personalized skincare kit and make him hooked to it. Many brands create personalized skincare recipes. From pocket-friendly to splurge, they have options for all budgets and create skincare kits using the data you provide them with.
8. Anti-Aging Regimen To Help Him Look Young and Glowing
If your man is not happy about the lines on his face and talks about how dull and tired his skin appears, make him happy with an anti-aging regimen kit. A basic anti-aging kit will have a cleanser, an eye cream, a moisturizer, an SPF for daytime, and a serum or night cream. Depending on skin type and budget, you may buy a branded anti-aging regimen kit or select different products from renowned brands.
9. Facial Cleansers
Cleansing is super important for keeping the skin dirt-free, germ-free, and healthy. Facial cleansers could also be one of the best holiday gifts this year. Gift your man the best cleanser he needs to exfoliate, purify, and hydrate his skin. Advanced cleansers are formulated with skin-loving ingredients such as enzymes, plants, and fruit extracts that don’t strip the skin. Micellar water is a great option for cleansing and hydrating the skin and is suitable for all skin types. Stay away from products that contain sulfates.
10. Subscription Boxes
Shopping for men’s skincare products could be challenging, and subscription boxes make the job easy with curated products delivered to the subscriber’s door. Additionally, subscription boxes are a great way to try new brands without blowing the bank. This year, consider gifting your loved ones a subscription box membership. Subscription boxes are a hassle-free way of gifting great products at a great value. Depending on your budget, you may choose boxes with luxury products from upscale brands or ones with targeted solutions such as hair care or grooming products.
Conclusion
When it comes to shopping for skincare products, the holiday season seems to be the best choice for many. Depending on your budget, you can buy the best holiday gifts for yourself and your loved ones. Though women rule the skincare market, men are not far from it. The market has moisture creams, firming creams, facial wash, cleansers, night cream, SPF, and what not?
