11 of The Best Skincare Gifts To Give This Year

Gifting skincare is always a safe option – whether you’re treating someone to a high-priced gadget or your kicking off their skincare journey with a selection of minis, skincare sets are always used and appreciated (especially as the cost of a skincare routine adds up quickly).

Struggling with last minute present ideas for the skincare obsessive in your life? From a face mask stash to an at-home spa kit, here’s what they’ll be hoping to find under the tree this year. 

When one lip balm isn’t enough, gift them four with the Laneige Glowy Lip Minis. Featuring four of the iconic 2-in-1 balm and gloss hybrids, flavours include Berry, Vanilla, Sweet Candy, and Blueberry. As well as a dreamy scent, each one is infused with shea and murumuru butters to give lips intense nourishment. Treating chapped lips and dryness, they offer lasting hydration and glossiness without the added sticky feeling.

For a gift that gives them face and body care in one, The Juicy Skin Lineup from BEAUTY BAY is the best skincare gift. This combo of cleansing balms, body scrubs, essences, sheet masks, and more sets out to soothe and hydrate your skin. Featuring 10 essentials from cult-favourite brands like Sol de Janeiro, FOREO, and Laneige, it’s head-to-toe pamper kit. It also includes a limited-edition reusable tumbler so you can start your skincare from the inside-out.

For skincare enthusiasts, they’ll know all about the benefits of rollerball application – massage, sculpting, depuffing etc. Fitting the bill, the By BEAUTY BAY Plumping Moisturiser Ectoin + Superberry Complex features a unique, cooling metal rollerball applicator. Powered by underrated skincare ingredient, ectoin, it soothes, moisturises, and reduces the appearance of redness. Plus, the antioxidant-rich superberry complex protects and delivers short and long-lasting hydration for healthier-looking skin.

Looking for a gift for a skincare beginner? The INKEY List Face Glow Hard Trio is a readymade all-in-one set featuring a gentle creamy cleanser, bestselling hydrating serum, and lightweight moisturiser. Perfect for all skin types, it gives skin a real hit of hydration and plump finish that lasts all day. It also comes with two face cleansing pads for the ultimate makeup removal.

The Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 30 is the best SPF gift in our opinion as it has a pearlescent finish that gives off a dewy glow without or underneath makeup. It has a lightweight formula that’s enriched with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, so you’re getting extra skincare benefits in addition to daily protection.

Anything Laneige is a 10/10 gift idea in our opinion, so we’d recommend the Laneige Bouncy & Firm Mini Skin Treats as a skincare set present. This is a travel-sized slow-aging routine that features three Laneige Bouncy & Firm minis. Including a visibly firming serum, a sleeping mask for bouncy-looking skin, and a cooling and depuffing eye sleeping mask, every skincare base is covered.

A skincare tool is one of the best gifts you can give in 2025 as they’re all the rage. The STYLIDEAS StylPro Fabulous Firmer Neck & Face Smoother is designed to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate the skin on the face and neck using massage, heat, and LED light therapy. It has three handy modes, letting you customise your treatment: red LED works to noticeably smooth the skin, while blue LED depuffs, and green boosts radiance.

We might be biased, but our Hyaluronic Acid + Sea Moss Hydrating Face Mist is one of our favourite skincare products to use and gift. Perfect for both AM and PM, just a few spritzes give your skin the drink it needs. Our favourite way to apply is between every step of our skincare routine for the ultimate hit of hydration. The hyaluronic acid works to hydrate and refresh to give your skin a dewy finish, whilst the sea moss extract helps to maintain high levels of hydration in the skin and softening and smoothing.

Korean skincare gifts go down a treat with any skincare lover in our experience. The ANUA Niacinamide 10% TXA 4% Serum is known for leaving your skin looking more even, smooth, and luminous. Infused with 10% niacinamide (a type of vitamin B3), this serum boosts skin health with active ingredients like 4% tranexamic acid. It rebalances uneven tones and brightens acne scars as it treats and fades dark spots and discolouration – perfect for anyone with blemish-prone skin.

Featuring two nourishing lipcare essentials, the Mario Badescu Lip Care Duo is one of the best lip gift sets for 2025. Perfect for dry lips, it includes an Acai & Vanilla Lip Balm for all-day hydration. Plus, an Overnight Lip Mask that locks in moisture as you sleep to reveal a softer, plumper pout.

Gentle yet effective, the By BEAUTY BAY Chamomile + Oat Lipid Cleansing Balm is an affordable cleansing balm that actually takes your makeup off. We love that it’s made using 86% naturally derived ingredients. It’s a nourishing and moisturising balm that’s formulated with ceramide-rich oat lipid to help to replenish the skin and paired with cleansing and soothing chamomile as part of a complex. The perfect skincare gift for anyone with stressed and inflamed skin.
