The Best Skin-Care Gifts You Can Give This Year

Birkenstock Softening Ritual Foot Care Essentials ($20)

"While everyone is beyond obsessed with skin-care products for their faces, I'm equally determined to show love to my feet. My heels get dry and cracked, especially in the winter months, but Birkenstock is here for more than just a cute pair of clogs. They have a whole foot-care line, including the Birkenstock Softening Ritual Foot Care Essentials, which easily made it to the top of my holiday wishlist. This duo comes with an exfoliating foot scrub and a nourishing balm, which sounds fantastic right about now." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Glow Recipe Fruit Babies Bestsellers Kit ($38)

"Shopping for someone who can't get enough Glow Recipe in their life? You have to get them the Fruit Babies Bestsellers Kit. It contains mini versions of the brand's five bestselling products, and they're all winners. Whether they want hydration or exfoliation, this kit has everything they'll need for their skin-care concerns. It's travel size as well, so they can always have their favorites wherever they go." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, shopping

Dr. Dennis Gross Skin Care Luminous Legends FaceWare Pro LED Device Holiday Kit ($455)

"If you want to splurge this holiday season, might I suggest a gift that everyone on your list will love? The Dr. Dennis Gross Luminous Legends FaceWare Pro LED Device Holiday Kit. Not only does it come with a full-size DermInfusions Fill + Repair Serum, four Vitamin C Lactic Biocellulose Brightening Treatment Masks, and five Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peels, but it also comes with a pink FaceWare Pro LED Treatment Mask (which is editor loved and approved)." — RR

Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Jet Set ($32)

"I gave this body-care set to my bridesmaids as a gift at my bachelorette party, and they all loved it. Now, I plan on gifting it as a stocking stuffer for the holidays. It contains the body cream, perfume, and body wash, all housed in a clear travel case. It smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling ultra-hydrated — a must for the wintertime." — Jessica Harrington, senior beauty editor

Evolvetogether The Havana Experience Set ($64)

"This is very Camila Cabello-coded, but I am a sucker for anything and everything relating to Havana (na na), which is what initially drew me to this Evolvetogether gift set. I already love that it comes equipped with a hydrating hand cream, exfoliating bar soap, and natural deodorant — everything you'd need, and from an eco-conscious brand you can feel good about buying, no less — but the fact that its Havana scent strikes the balance between sexy and cozy, warm and cool, earthy and woody? Yeah, this is a gift I'm giving myself." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver Body Care Essentials ($38)

"I know, I know, gifting someone deodorant for the holidays isn't exactly what you'd call sexy, but trust me — the Salt & Stone Santal & Vetiver Body Care Essentials kit is a total winner. Not only has the deodorant included gone viral numerous times over, but this set comes with a fragrance, a body lotion, and a body wash. Everything you need to keep you smelling your best at all times." — RR

Sacheu Gua Sha Starter Kit ($40)

"If you know someone just now dipping their toe into the world of skin care, start small with your skin-care gift. This Sacheu Gua Sha Starter Kit includes a metal gua sha tool that stays cool and is easy to glide across the face and pressure points. The included facial oil is loaded with lipids that provide the ideal slip for the gua sha while giving skin a healthy glow." — AR

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen ($38)

"No matter the season, my schedule, or where I'm at in the world, I'm always slathering my Supergoop Unseen sunscreen on as part of my daily getting-ready routine. The sunscreen delivers SPF 40 while nourishing your skin with ingredients like frankincense and meadowfoam. Every year, I buy a ton to use as stocking stuffers for everyone in the family." — Jess Andrews, senior content director

First Aid Beauty Head-to-Toe FAB Kit ($48)

"If you're shopping for someone with sensitive skin, you can count on First Aid Beauty. The brand is known for its sensitive-skin-friendly formulations that are effective yet gentle. The set comes with everything they need for a brighter, smoother complexion, including a cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer, and exfoliating pads. It also comes with two mini body-care products that are formulated to help diminish keratosis pilaris, body acne, and overall roughness." — AR

Nécessaire The Body Wash Discovery Collection ($45)

"If you have someone on your list who is hard to shop for, allow me to turn you on to the Nécessaire The Body Wash Discovery Collection. It's a crowd-pleaser that you simply can't go wrong with. It contains four of the brand's best-selling body cleansers in the eucalyptus, hinoki, santal, and olibanum fragrances. Not only does it allow you to sample each of the signature scents, but at 3.4 oz each, they're also travel-friendly." — JH

Dieux Skin Forever Eye Mask ($25)

"Single-use eye masks are great, but I always feel guilty about them. So I was pretty excited when I was gifted Dieux Skin's environmentally-friendly Forever Eye Mask two years ago. The mask is reusable, helps with better absorption of your eye cream, and doesn't lose its grip on your undereye (I'm still on my first pair, so they really do last). If you know someone who likes a good at-home spa day, this could be a great addition to their stocking." — Alida Araica, newsletter manager

Garnier SkinActive Travel-Size Micellar Cleansing Water Holiday Kit ($12)

"My fellow friends plagued with sensitive skin, gather 'round: you can now stock up on travel-sized micellar waters that I — human with extremely reactive and eczema-prone skin (and editor who has tried it all) — can confirm won't tug or irritate, no matter what. It comes with three variations of the formula, but even the brightening and waterproof options are sensi-safe, which really is a gift in and of itself. For that price, you can even buy a few extra for your friends." — KC

Dove Spiced Chai Latte Body Scrub ($7)

"Dove's holiday scents are here and you're going to want to check them out. My favorite from the lot is the Spiced Chai Latte, which has a warm, festive scent without being too sweet (however, if you like gourmands, there are options for you, too). The body scrub makes for a great stocking stuffer or White Elephant present. Whoever you gift it to will be blessed with the softest skin ever this winter." — JH

Therabody TheraFace Pro Set ($249, originally $399)

"This Therabody TheraFace Pro Set is a comprehensive, six-in-one facial device that features both microcurrent and rejuvenating light therapy. It also comes with three percussive facial attachments for a customized relaxing massage, as well as microcurrent, LED, and cleaning ring attachments. The best part? They can combine and switch between treatments, too, like incorporating a facial massage with an LED treatment. With this, they won't need any other tool. I love using it for the mornings when my face is puffy, and it's perfect for helping with my TMJ." — RR

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Discovery Travel Size Kit ($39)

"K-beauty fans will be thrilled to get this Peach & Lily Glass Skin Discovery Travel-Size Kit this holiday season. The four-piece set contains the Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser, Wild Dew Treatment Essence, Glass Skin Refining Serum, and Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream. The travel-friendly routine is the key to glass skin." — AR

Hero Cosmetics Rescue Balm +Dark Spot Retouch Post-Blemish Recovery Cream ($13)

"When it comes to disguising dark circles, this Hero Cosmetics Rescue Balm + Dark Spot Retouch Blemish Recovery cream truly saves the day. The apricot color-correcting cream is pigmented and applies smoothly to skin with minimal product." — Tasha Dowbachuk, associate growth strategist, partnerships and growth

Starface Star Balm ($7)

"Everyone has a favorite lip balm at the ready to recommend, and this is mine. It's affordable, smells good, and is super satisfying to apply due to the wider shape. And with any Starface product, the packaging's great and looks cool. Gift one (or all four scents) to any teen in your life and I guarantee they'll be pleased." — Kelsey Garcia, associate director, balance

Peter Thomas Roth Eyes in the Sky 3-Piece Kit ($85; out of stock online, check in-store availability)

"As they say, variety is the spice of life, and anyone who applies this motto to their skin-care routine will especially appreciate the Peter Thomas Roth Multi-Masker 3-Piece Mask Kit. It comes with three different types of eye masks (that have all been tested and vetted by yours truly) so you'll never have to worry about looking puffy ever again. Pro tip: Use them while you do your eye makeup to catch any eyeshadow fall out and help you create the perfect winged-eyeliner." — RR
