It can be intimidating to find a gift for a friend, niece, aunt, or mother-in-law who really, really loves skincare. She already has a shelfie-worthy medicine cabinet, is well read on all the trendy new ingredients, like snail mucus and bakuchiol, and has (possibly on more than one occasion), made reference to the Instagram skin aesthetic, "dewy dumpling glow."
Instead of booking her a facial or going for broke on a jar of Créme de La Mer, consider gifting a skin-care set. Not just any box of tinctures sold at Sephora, but a curated K-Beauty collection with a sheet mask, serum, and treatment essence — all the fixings of a well-hydrated glow. Whatever your budget — or ability to wrap and carry a tiny baby-pink fridge — find your foolproof guide to the best K-Beauty skin-care sets on the market, ahead.

Innisfree Best Seller Discovery Set
A trial kit is the most cost-efficient way to try a new brand, sure, but it also makes for the perfect travel kit. This one from Korean beauty brand Innisfree keeps it simple with just three parts: a clay mask, lightweight serum, and a moisturizer. It's the K-Beauty gift for any level of skin-care obsessive, wherever they might find themselves this holiday season.
