Ah, the holidays. The time of year when I love to splurge and get my nearest and dearest something special that I know will make them feel pampered and appreciated. If you’re like me, you have a few people in your life who are true health and beauty lovers. They’re always on the hunt for the latest skincare products and beauty trends, so you can’t go wrong with a gift that helps them look and feel their best. To help you find the perfect present for the health and beauty enthusiast in your life, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite picks. Whether they’re a skincare junkie or a makeup maven, these gifts will be sure to make them feel special this holiday season.
For the Skincare Lover
The first on my list is a luxurious facial steamer. Not only is this device great for clearing pores and delivering a deep cleanse, but it also helps to boost circulation and give skin a healthy glow. Look for one that has multiple settings so they can tailor their treatment to their skin type. Once they’ve steamed their skin, the next step is to nourish it with a good quality moisturizer. I’m a big fan of the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. It’s lightweight, yet intensely hydrating, and helps to keep skin soft and supple all day long. If you’re looking for something a bit more indulgent, why not treat them to a jar of La Mer’s iconic Crème de la Mer. This luxurious moisturizer has a cult following for its restorative powers and its ability to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
For the Makeup Artist
If you’re shopping for a makeup enthusiast, then you’ll want to get them something that will help them perfect their look. A good quality brush set is always a great gift. Look for one with a variety of sizes and shapes so they can achieve a flawless finish. A good eyeshadow palette is another great gift. I love the Urban Decay Naked palettes. They come in a number of different shades and finishes and provide endless possibilities for creating smoky eyes or subtle daytime looks. Finally, no makeup lover’s collection is complete without a good quality lipstick. My personal favorite is the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick. It provides intense color and a glossy finish that will have them looking fabulous all day long.
For the Body Care Aficionado
If you’re shopping for someone who takes pride in their body care routine, then you’re in luck. There are so many great products out there to choose from. My first pick is a good body scrub. Not only does this help to remove dead skin cells, but it also helps to smooth and soften skin. Look for one with natural ingredients like sugar, coffee, or honey for best results. For the finishing touch, why not treat them to an indulgent body oil or lotion? I love the Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Body Lotion. Not only does it smell divine, but it also helps to keep skin hydrated and feeling soft all day long. Finally, no body care routine is complete without a good quality bath bomb. These little fizzy balls of joy are great for soothing aching muscles and providing a luxurious spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home.
Whether you’re shopping for a skincare junkie, a makeup maven, or a body care aficionado, there’s something out there to suit every health and beauty lover’s needs. With this guide, you can be sure to find the perfect gift for the special person in your life.
