Self-care beauty gifts are the definition of gifts that keep on giving. When you give someone a present that promotes wellness and self-care, you're gifting someone an excuse to put time and TLC back into themselves, which is something we could all use more of after the year we've had.
Self-care looks different for everyone, but very few beauty-lovers can resist the power of luxurious body oils, fancy facial tools, and bath products that replicate a spa experience at home. Whether their ideal night of relaxation involves masking during a movie marathon with a wine glass in hand or escaping to a hot bubble bath surrounded by candles and crystals, you'll be able to find a present that speaks to them in the gift guide ahead.
To secure your spot on the nice list for the upcoming year, pick up one or two of these zen-inducing beauty gifts and get ready to see your friends glow from the inside out.
Pretty much any product from Bath & Body Works's Aromatherapy collection makes for an amazing self-care beauty gift. The Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Eucalyptus Spearmint Body Cream ($16) will leave their skin feeling incredibly soft and nourished, while also enveloping them in a relaxing aroma of eucalyptus and spearmint.
You might recognize the Hanacure All-in-One Facial ($110) set from your favorite celebrities' Instagram pages — it's pretty famous for its temporary wrinkle-reducing effect. The kit includes all of the tools for a relaxing at-home masking experience. Swirl its components together to create a gel that works to give your skin an A-list glow.
The Kneipp Goodbye Stress Rosemary & Water Mint Aromatherapy Bubble Bath ($15) lives up to its name. A long, hot bath with a splash of this essential oils bubble mixture will melt the stress right off of them. Just don't get upset when they take forever to answer your texts.
We can probably all agree that nothing beats a restful night of beauty sleep. With the Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase ($89), they'll be whisked away into a deep slumber thanks to the fabric's ultrasoft, cool feel. The silk case also helps reduce friction on your hair and skin (a big cause of split ends, frizz, and fine lines) while you toss and turn.
Help them chill out, quite literally, with the Georgia Louise Cryo Facial Freeze Tools ($125 for two). These ice-cold rollers are amazing at reducing puffiness — and just helping you wake up in the morning. Trust us: they won't be able to stop using them.
The Nécessaire The Body Ritual ($80) will completely revamp their existing body-care collection. It contains the brand's exfoliator, body wash, lotion, and serum all wrapped into one.
If they love helping the environment just as much as they love self-care, the Love Beauty & Planet Murumuru Butter and Rose Oil Body Lotion and Hand Cream Gift Pack Set ($10) is perfect for them. They'll love the brand's nourishing formulas just as much as they'll love its commitment to the planet.
Not only is the Keys Soulcare Obsidian Facial Roller ($25) just a nice roller, but the fact that it's one of Alicia Keys's debut skin-care products makes it an even better gift. Maybe they can even channel some of Keys's tranquil attitude while they roll.
Candles are always a great gift to receive, but the Home of Chiji Evil Eye Crystal Energy Candle ($40) takes self-care to a whole new level with crystals melted into the wax. As they burn the candle they get to scoop out the stones for keeping.
The aromatic Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda Rebalancing Collection ($50) includes body scrub, body cream, shower gel, and fragrance sticks that smell like a soothing mix of florals and sweet almond.
Something that doesn't promote self-care: rough feet. The Soon Skincare Foot Mask Set ($35) has three foot masks and a pumice stone inside to help them keep their feet feeling smooth at home.
The I Dew Care Mini Meow Peel-Off Mask Trio ($20) includes brightening, exfoliating, and hydrating face masks to address different skin-care goals. They can use the masks on their own or together for a multimasking experience.
The Ode to Self Skincare The Reflection Kit ($65) screams luxury but is incredibly affordable given that it includes two full-size products. Dry skin this winter will be no match for this skin-care set.
Once they pop one of the Botanika Life Stress Ball 4-Pack Variety Bath Soaks ($65) into a tub of water, all of their troubles will go away.
