There are few things as wonderful as a luxurious skincare gift, often these come at wonderfully discounted prices. Especially in winter our skin suffers immensely, luckily there are some stellar skincare gift sets to send to your loved ones this Christmas.
Dr Dennis Gross
The Dr Dennis Gross line of products are a luxury, however from my experience using them, they really work and are worth it. I would go as far as saying that his Alpha Beta Daily Peels are transformative and I would recommend trying them out.
Peel. Glow. Be Merry.
This incredible festive bundle includes 21 Extra Strength Alpha Beta Peels, C+ Collagen Brighten + Firm Vitamin C Serum and a C+ Collagen Deep Cream. This set is one of my top recommendations for gifting this season. Using these products, experience an instantly radiant, smooth and hydrated complexion. The Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel exfoliates skin while fighting the look of wrinkles and reducing imperfections. The Brighten + Firm Vitamin C Serum and Deep Cream instantly hydrate skin, visibly even skin tone for a glowing complexion.
Dr Dennis Gross C+ Collagen, Perfect Skin Set & Refresh Mist
The C+ Collagen, Perfect Skin Set & Refresh Mist is an antioxidant-rich setting mist that works triple duty to boost your skin's natural radiance. Bring your skin back to life before or after makeup with this refreshing mist that hydrates and protects your skin throughout the day. With each mist, micellar technology penetrates makeup to get into your skin, delivering a doctor’s dose of antioxidants to shield you from environmental damage and revive stressed skin. A wonderful product for those with tired or stressed skin.
Dr Dennis Gross Clarifying Mask
A multi purpose, clinical strength, acne-fighting mask which is loaded with colloidal sulfur, bentonite clay, and kaolin clay to reduce breakouts, diminish the appearance of enlarged pores, clear blackheads, and absorb excess oil. I have combination skin, however this mask is a favourite of my nieces who currently have more breakouts/problematic skin. I would suggest that it is a great gift for those with large pores, oily skin or breakouts.
Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel
My followers will know by now that I am a huge fan of the Alpha Beta peels by Dennis Gross. The Universal Daily Peel is a more gentler formulation than the Extra Strength Daily peels which I have discussed in the past. These pads will give you instantly smooth skin and immediate radiance and are great for those with normal or combination skin. They are a great gift idea or stocking filler for the festive season.
ELEMIS
The House of Elemis in Mayfair has been one of my top places for a facial for many years. Through visiting their spa I have become a fan of the Elemis range of skincare products. Elemis is an innovative and global British skincare brand with over 30 years of expertise. Their award winning skincare portfolio includes face and body skincare products with revolutionary formulas, spa treatments, supplements and more.
This season Elemis have a few incredible Pro-Collagen gifts in their Christmas collection. Possibly their most well-known products their Pro-Collagen products are bestsellers for good reason, these formulas deliver intense, skin-plumping hydration - whilst they are primarily focused on anti-ageing I love these products purely as they deliver so much hydration to the skin.
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Stars of the Show Gift Set
My pick for the holiday season is the ‘Pro-Collagen Stars of the Show’ gift set. This is quite a showstopper gift, packaged in a beautiful teal coloured vanity case with the stars of the Elemis hero anti-ageing range. The products are absolutely incredible, the set includes a full skincare routine including some great targeted treatments as well.
Included in the set is:
- Pro-Collagen Super Serum Elixir: A great serum for targeted treatment of noticeable lines, for both morning and evening application.
- Pro-Collagen Insta-Smooth Primer: One of my all time favourites, it helps bridge the gap between skincare and make-up application, I often wear it even when I am not wearing make-up as it gives a nice flawless finish to the skin.
- Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm with a Luxury Cleansing Cloth: A classic aromatic which was one of the first products of its kind launched by Elemis. It is a beautiful infusion of nine essential oils (including lavender, geranium and eucalyptus). Applying it to the skin, it is not only comforting but removes all of the make-up and daily dirt from the day.
- NEW Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask: One of the newest additions to the Pro-Collagen family, one of Elemis’s most innovative formulations of 2020. Its has a cloud-like gel texture and is a 3 in 1 multi-tasking product. You can use it as part of your morning skincare routine or in the evening or as an overnight eye mask - it is an instant pick me up to the eye area.
- Pro-Collagen Marine Cream: A super size of the original cream, its a lightweight gel texture which also is perfect if you have oily/combination skin and yet also works for those with dry skin. It is the number one bestselling Elemis product, its hard not to love this product!
- Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix: This is a targeted night time moisturiser. The beauty of this product is that it hones into the key areas of the skin which need moisture giving lovely bouncy skin when you wake up. The texture is satiny and glides onto the skin.
ELEMIS Pro Collagen Day & Night Star Duo
A clinically-proven duo of anti-ageing heroes to help put the radiance back into skin. These hydrating power duo of skincare award-winners indulge your complexion with high-performance formulas powered by high-grade marine and plant actives. This is a wonderful generic gift option as both products work well for a variety of different skin types.
- Pro-Collagen Marine Cream: A lightweight gel texture which also is perfect if you have oily/combination skin and also works for those with dry skin. It is the number one bestselling Elemis product.
- Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream: Infused with nourishing, antioxidant-rich Sesame and Avocado oils this overnight hero targets the signs of ageing to reveal a radiant complexion upon waking.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair
One of my all time favourite products, Advanced Night Repair is a great gift - especially if you are not sure of someone’s exact skincare type. It is a popular product regardless of skin type, it is wonderful to wear before applying make-up or at night to ensure that you wake-up with refreshed skin.
Linnean Living
A wonderful gift idea after this stressful year is a spa treatment at Linnean Living, based in Embassy Gardens. They offer bespoke packages at their beautiful spa and salon. With this current climate telephone/zoom consultations are also an option.
