Between the harsh winter weather and the seasonal stress, what better time to give the gift of self-care than the holidays? And while self-care comes in many forms (journaling, baking or working out, for example), we’re fans of self-care in the form of skincare. Not only does it pull you into the present moment and engage your senses (particularly helpful if you’re dealing with swirling holiday stress), it also makes your skin healthier and happier.

To help you sort through all of the options there, we compiled a list of the best self-care skincare gifts on the market. From a glow-inducing mask trio to an overnight skincare set, we have the best self-care skincare gifts for everyone on your list — plus options you can treat yourself to as well.

A Very Merry Mask Set

Youth to the People Facial Your Way: Triple Mask Set

Give the gift of glowing skin this season. This set comes with three masks to unlock a lit-from-within radiance: a resurfacing facial, a detoxifying clay mask and a moisturizing overnight mask made with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to visibly brighten and hydrate the skin.

A Super-Powered Overnight Skincare Set

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Must Haves Holiday Skincare Set

Skin needs some R&R too — and this set will make it happen. It contains full-size overnight essentials to help set your friend or family member up for some serious beauty sleep. The holiday-themed package includes a full-size Midnight Recovery Concentrate, formulated with soothing ingredients like lavender and evening primrose oils, and a full-size Midnight Recovery Omega-Rich Cloud Cream, infused with omega-3 oil, omega-6 oil and fatty acids. Both products will leave your skin feeling hydrated and restored by the time your alarm goes off in the morning — and while you’re at it, treat yourself and press snooze.

A Multitasking Skincare Set

Skinceuticals Anti-Aging Regimen for Face and Neck Set

Stressors from everyday life can take a toll on our complexion — from our face all the way down to our neck. Treat your friend or family member to a little TLC with this luxe skincare set. It comes with the brand’s bestselling Triple Lipid Restore cream and a daily retinol cream that’s specifically designed to address crepiness and wrinkles on the delicate neck area.

A Totally Toned Toner Gift Set

Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Toner Set

Finding balance can be difficult — especially when it comes to your skin’s pH level. This set comes with three gentle, alcohol-free toners (read: non-drying) that will help cleanse, soothe and stabilize your skin’s pH with just a few swipes. Each toner serves a slightly different purpose, from clearing the complexion to calming it down — making it the perfect gift set for anyone with stressed-out skin.

An Eco-Conscious Cleansing Set

Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Kit with Eco Pads

If your friend or family member is always on the go, this cleansing kit is the ultimate self-care skincare gift. The Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water has a cult following for a reason: It gently and quickly removes makeup without stripping the skin. That means no more nights of sleeping in a full face of makeup (which can wreak havoc on the skin later on). Plus, the Eco Pads are washable and reusable, cutting down on overall waste.

Buying on a budget? You can still give the gift of self-care skincare (and a dewy glow!) with this adorable $20 gift set. It comes with two bestselling products that will help hydrate and plump dry, dehydrated skin with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid and vegan collagen.

It comes with the brand’s famous Confidence In A Cream, a rejuvenating anti-aging cream that addresses 10 different signs of aging, and a nourishing night cream. The best part? The moisturizers work for all skin types, so it’s a great gift for anyone on your list.

A Sweet Dreams Skincare Set

Summer Fridays On Cloud Nine Set

Is your loved one too busy to incorporate a brand-new lineup of skincare products into their routine? The Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask is specifically formulated to work overnight, delivering hydration deep into the skin cells. When they wake up, they can wash the mask off and apply the brand’s gel cream moisturizer (using the cute scrunchie to tie their hair back, of course) to reveal smooth, glowing skin.

A Calming Face Mist Set

Avène Thermal Spring Water Duo

Is there anything more therapeutic than taking a minute to apply a soothing face mist? The Avéne Thermal Spring Water is designed to help soothe, soften and calm sensitive skin, according to the brand. (And don’t face mists just make you feel more relaxed in general? We say yes.)
