Beautylish Gift Guide: Body Lotions and Facial Potions

Give your loved ones the gift of clear skin this holiday with some of our favorite hydrating, exfoliating, and zit-zapping products on the market. After bearing the harsh winter weather during their holiday travels, who wouldn’t love finding a balmy salve or a buttery mask waiting in their stockings? Gift a set of goodies to a special someone, or break these best-sellers apart and distribute to everyone back home. Bad skin is hereditary but great gifts are wonderful to inherit.

Smith’s Rosebud Salve

$6

This multi-purpose salve is the balm! The light floral scent is appealing to girlie-girls and tomboys alike and the soothing formula moisturizes not only lips, but anywhere you’re feeling chapped. It’s been hailed as a top notch diaper cream as well as a quick fix for minor burns, making it a gift fit for any household. The vintage appeal of the tin can will win everyone over and the product itself has been around longer than that dish of ribbon candy at grandma’s house. An unbeatable buy.

Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask

$22.50

A seasonally apt mask that’s bursting with antioxidants. The mask works to revive skin by dissolving dead cells with fruity acids and extracts, making you look fresh on even the coldest of winter days, and well rested after being awakened at 6 a.m. to see what santa brought. The pomegranate mask is presented in six single-serve packets. Gift a box to a special someone, or break the packets apart for anyone feeling weary from the holiday fun. A great incentive for a post-Christmas spa party.

Dermalogica Smooth and Renew Kit

$50

Seeing dull relatives this holiday? Gift this ultimate exfoliation kit for anyone on your list in need of a little tough love. This three-part system contains a bottle of their best selling PreCleanse to use in part with your regular facial cleanser for an extra deep clean, along with two exfoliators—a mask, and a scrub. The mask exfoliates with help from hydroxy and lactic acids that work on dead cells, allowing you to rinse them away at the end of your facial while the powdery scrub buffs your skin, quickly giving you smooth results in minutes. A gift that will brighten up anyones face.

Kate Somerville Skin’s Little Helper Set

$55

A festive present for your pimply pals, this christmas skin set is sure to be a hit. The four-piece collection includes a detoxifying cleanser, a zit-friendly exfoliator to prevent future clogs, a refreshing oil-free moisturizer, and an on-the-spot acne treatment thoughtfully named EradiKate. The whole she-bang comes packaged in a bright red box with an illustrated bow and is guaranteed to bring joy to your teenage siblings and active skin friends, not to mention the world.

Bliss The Bod Squad Gift Set

$75

A spa in a box from the bath-time favorite, Bliss. This fun four-piece set includes a lemon and sage scented body scrub and moisturizing butter for citrus-scented soft skin, plus a luxurious hand and foot cream to ensure every inch of you stays moisturized this winter. Lastly, the kit contains a jar of their Fat Girl Slim skin firming cream to tone trouble areas before bikini season hits. A relaxing gift set for a loved one who deserves a break.
