Today I would like us to take a look at the best skincare gifts for men and women. We are in the gift-giving season and most of us are trying to find that perfect gift. When it comes to skincare you want to go for a nice gift that will be beneficial to the recipient. Although there are all kinds of skincare gift ideas out there, we want to find gifts that will put a glow on their skin and definitely a smile on their faces 🙂
Would You Be Offended By This Gift?
Before we get into it I just want to share something very interesting I heard the other day, there is this commercial on TV about a weight loss equipment, and the commercial is about a husband buying it as a gift for his wife. Allegedly the commercial has aggravated many customers and has cost the company to lose millions of dollars in sales because most people have boycotted the products from the company as a result of that commercial.
According to the customers, in the commercial, the husband gives his wife the weightloss equipment despite the fact that the wife is seemingly very petite, and then she is supposed to be reporting on her use of the equipment, so the issues that were allegedly raised is that the wife does not need the equipment and secondly its not right for the husband to buy the wife an equipment for weight loss.
So I pose this question to you, would you be offended if a loved one bought you weight loss equipment or gym membership as a Christmas gift?
Let’s Get into Our Skincare Gifts For Men And Women
The Skincare products we are going to feature in this article can be found on sephora.com and they are under the clean at Sephora section meaning the products are formulated free of toxic ingredients and they are cruelty free

When I was thinking about this post, I was going to just do skincare gift ideas for women but then I thought just how hard it is to find skincare gifts for men so I thought I will share a couple of ideas just to help sisters out there who are looking for skincare gifts for men in their lives.
Its hard enough as it is to find gifts for the guys, I mean when it comes to women it’s so easy, you have so many things to choose from, beauty, skincare jewelry, clothes, shoes, bags perfumes, the list is endless. But the gift ideas when it comes to guys, you really need to dig deeper especially when you are looking for something unique.
So let’s start with this Facial Cleansing Brush from Sephora, this is a charcoal-infused brush that will gently exfoliate his skin leaving it feeling clean, refreshed and looking smooth. The brush eliminates dead skin cells, which helps brighten the skin and improves blood circulation to nourish new cells. Which gives him healthy glowing skin.
The Brush contains two levels of intensity which will help unclog your pores by removing all dirt and oils, to refresh your skin, it’s suitable for all skin types.
Our next skincare gift idea for men is the Jack Black Grooming Essential Set
If you have been reading my previous posts, then you know I have mentioned this brand a few times. This set can be very handy especially for a guy who does a lot of traveling The set contains a body/face wash, beard conditioner, oil-free moisturizer a deodorant and the set also comes with a travel bag which makes it very convenient for a guy on the go. The products are parabens, sulfates and phthalates free. and also they are cruelty-free.
OK we all know that one of the things that most guys hate about skincare products is the oily feeling, our next gift set will take care of his skin without the feeling of oiliness. I am talking about Biossance Stay Balanced Duo. This cruelty and gluten-free set help reduce redness on the skin and clear blemishes. it also gives his skin balance so he does not get too oily which will help to control clogged pores, leaving his skin looking and feeling healthy.
The product is suitable for oily to combination skin types. I think this will make a perfect gift for a guy who likes taking care of his skin. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, it’s very important for all of us to take great care of our skin.
And now to close the guy list, I just had to add a fragrance because, to be honest, the smell is very important to me, if a guy does not smell nice, then there is a problem. I think as women, and especially if you have a husband or a boyfriend, its really up to you to buy your man a fragrance that both of you like because if he wears a fragrance that you don’t like, it could affect your intimacy.
With that in mind, let me introduce you to Yves Saint Laurent Eau de Toilette Duo Set
So I am just throwing this one in here because I like it but its really up to you to choose the one you like because we don’t like the same things and I think fragrances are very sensitive subject, actually at Sephora, they do have a package where they send you over ten samples and then you can try and see which one you like best, and then you can order.
This Citrus and wood scent is in the family of earthy wood the keynotes being Bergamont, Sage, and Cedarwood.
Skincare gifts for women
Alright here we go, I am just going to share a few ideas here because as we mentioned earlier women are spoilt for choice when it comes to skincare gifts. I am just going to give ideas for moisturizers, cleansers just to make her feel pampered, of course, if you want to go a step further, you can book a spa day for her too, you can never go wrong with a spa day.
Our first skincare set is The First Aid Beauty Set This set of seven is just what you need to get your skin in shape for the holidays, it contains a Face Cleanser, 28 facial pads to help with the cleansing. resurfacing liquid, IntenseHydration repair cream, Eye cream Coconut water cream, and pore minimizer mate primer.
This is a great set that will take your skin to the next level, with maximum moisture, that helps minimize fine lines and clears your skin to give it that brightness that you have been searching for, this set is a great gift idea for her. The products are suitable for dry, oily, combination and normal skin types.
Let It Glow Let Glow, Your Skin Needs The Glow From Within
And now bring on the glow, our next set will guarantee you a healthy youthful glowy skin. I am talking about the let it glow collection and this is their Glow Recipe this trio set contains Watermelon sleeping mask, Blueberry gentle cleanser, and watermelon pink juice oil-free moisturizer.
The products are formulated with fruity antioxidants to cleanse and brighten your skin, leaving it clean of all impurities and dullness to reveal a fresh and smooth glowy skin.
This next set is a limited collection and I had to include it because it just screams holiday and festivity, OK, to be honest, all these sets are making me salivate 🙂 ( weird I know) Is it just me or do you salivate when you visit a beauty shop, please tell me I am not the only weirdo out here 🙂 alright lets talk about this set Belif Moisture Miracle Set.
This set will take your moisture game into a whole new level, if you have dry flaky dull skin, this is the miracle you need to hydrate that skin and brighten it
The set contains a moisturizing bomb, eye Moisturizing Bomb and Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser. OK, I know that is a lot of bombs but let me tell you that your skin will feel great after this super moisture pampering.
And now this set is for the makeup lovers in the house. But to be honest, is there a woman who doesn’t like makeup? OK, I know that some like more makeup than others but even if it’s just a touch of mascara and lipstick, it’s still makeup. For me it’s all the way, I do love makeup and Skincare products. But I have to admit sometimes I do buy too many products (note to self, I need to cut down)
So I am talking about the Thatcha Skincare For Makeup Lovers Dewy Glow Set
This set is ideal for those of us who use makeup on a daily basis, it will prepare your skin for makeup and help your makeup application smoother and last longer. The products are formulated with the finest ingredients that include The Japanese purple rice which helps slow down the aging process of the skin while the antioxidants help to clear and brighten the skin.
The set contains Luminous Dewy Skin Mist, The Dewy Skin Cream, The Silk Canvas, And Violet C Radiance Mask.
So as you can see you will have all the products you need to prepare your skin for that clean and smooth finish.
Conclusion
Skincare gifts are a good idea because, by giving these kinds of gifts it shows that you want your loved one to take great care of their skin so they can remain amazing looking for the longest time 🙂 So I hope you will consider one of these and place it under your tree this year for someone special.

First, I love your comment on the commercial, because I never thought about it like that but it’s true! I would be happy if someone got me something like that for Christmas! I am also happy that this post is for men too, because I’m a 29 year old man who is constantly worrying about his skin! I really like the looks of the Jack Black Grooming Essential Set! It has everything I need for my skin and my beard, so thank you for the suggestion!
Yeah, I found that story about the commercial really interesting. I am glad you found something in this article that you would be interested in. I think Jack Black products are quite good, so its a good choice.
Thank you for your comment.

These could be an excellent Christmas gift. Thanks for sharing your ideas!Â
I won’t mind if I get weight loss equipment or a gym membership card or even a skincare product as a gift. In fact, I got something similar as a gift for my birthday a few years ago, and it was awesome because I was thinking about it and she bought it for me. It saved me time and money 🙂 and I like the person even more because of it.Â
But I guess it depends on the point of view. Anyway, thanks again for sharing these ideas!Â
Hi Ivan, yes skincare products are always appreciated, as for the gym membership well, some people might get offended if you give them a gym membership, but then I gain I guess it depends on the person. Thank you so much for your comment.
I am always in the lookout for small gifts to give my wife. Nothing major, just small things that you can give any day to keep things interesting and your article gave me a few good options I can consider. Skin products are things that a woman can always appreciate so thank you for the share. I will bookmark it to keep your ideas for future reference.
Yes, Indeed, small gifts are great and skincare products are a great idea. I also like that you are thinking of giving your wife gifts any day, that is amazing because we should not just wait for holidays or anniversaries to give each other gifts. thank you so much for your comment.
Hello Rose!
To answer your opening question – I would find a Christmas weight loss gift useless to me, since I am already a slim person :).
Yeah well, finding some skincare products that are directed to men may be challenging, but not impossible – there have to be some nifty, beautiful-scented items for us too! The Jack Black Grooming set looks quite nice, I admire that nuance of blue that its containers have.
Well, all the gifts you proposed look nice (for women or for men), and I guess there are some pretty smells (or let’s better call them scents). We all heard of Sephora by now, so we trust them!
Kind regards,
Peter
Wow! lucky you Peter, you don’t need a gym membership? To Be honest with you, I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with weight, where I was born (Kenya) when you have some meat on your bones it’s a good sign, it shows all is well at home. As a matter of fact, when a couple gets married, it’s expected of them to put on a little weight, to show that they are eating well and they are happy with each other.
Thank you so much Peter for your comment.
With holiday season on the horizon skin care products make for a perfect gift indeed. I like how you’ve provided information for both men and women here. Personally I think a gym membership is a nice gift and not offensive. Thank you for the coupon code this is great. From your choices I really like the Jack Black Grooming Essential Set, Yves Saint Laurent Eau de Toilette Duo Set and Belif Moisture Miracle Set especially. These are going to make for perfect gift sets and I have saved your post for when it’s soon time to do so. Thanks for the excellent recommendations!
Thank you so much for your comment Pentrental. Glad you found some interesting stuff on my list.
