Beauty Editor-Approved Skincare Gifts for Your Hard to Shop for Loved Ones

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Skip the cliche seasonal gifts and opt for one (or all) of these beauty editor-approved skincare gift ideas instead. Whether you're holiday shopping ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness or looking to treat your favorite family member to a self-care present just because these skincare gift ideas are next-level good.

These skincare gifts embrace innovative technologies to target many concerns, including the NuFACE Mini+ Petite, which lifts and tones the skin, and the beautybio GLOFacial, which cleanses congested pores. There's even a dishwasher-safe Canopy humidifier that hydrates homes up to 500 square feet and comes in several colorways to match their decor.

My other featured selections are focused on cleansing, hydrating, and treating skincare concerns. And with the winter season fast approaching, I focused on hydrating heroes from Nécessaire, Sol de Janeiro, and Beekman 1802 to ensure your giftee is clean, moisturized, and glowing from head to toe.

Regardless of which skincare gift idea you land on, I'm confident they're all winners and accommodate a range of budgets, including the $20 undereye masks from Pacifica and LANEIGE Midnight Minis lip mask set.

The Body Essentials - Trial + Travel Set

As the saying goes, three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and my obsession with Nécessaire products. This trio is a wonderful introduction to the sensitive skin-friendly brand, as all products are only made with the gentlest ingredients.

The eucalyptus body wash is a daily must-have because it recreates spa vibes at home without the price tag. As for the lightweight, fragrance-free body serum that's fast-absorbing and makes a huge difference in the feel and tone of my skin, especially during colder months. Rounding out the trio is the signature fragrance-free body lotion for full-body hydration without stickiness.

Midnight Minis: Nourish & Hydrate

LANEIGE makes the ultimate lip mask. Not only is their lip mask beauty editor tested and approved, but the award-winning product has earned thousands of glowing online reviews.

Rather than gifting someone just a single Laneige Lip Mask for $20, purchase this set instead. Although the five jars are smaller than a full-sized option, each one should last at least a month. Another bonus: Your giftee can enjoy many flavors, including Berry, Gummy Bear, Sweet Candy, Mint Choco, and Mango, instead of just one.

Skincare Mini Fridge

Every college student deserves a mini fridge, but rather than opting for a larger and more expensive option, gift them this model that can easily hold cans of Poppi soda and their favorite skincare products.

Several dermatologists previously told me that using cool skincare products, such as face masks, face serums, face mists, and eye creams, is beneficial year-round. Cool skincare products calm irritation, depuff, extend their lifespan, stabilize and improve product efficacy, and feel damn good even on the most sensitive of skin types. No wonder more than 5,540 Amazon reviewers can't get enough of this skincare fridge.

Brazilian Bum Bum Jet Set

The upcoming winter weather doesn't mean your loved one wants to smell like a candy cane and pine because summer is a state of mind. With this trio from Sol de Janeiro, your loved one will smell like a Brazilian beach babe dripping in jasmine, pink dragonfruit, and vanilla.

This gift set contains their gel body wash, viral BumBum cream to lock in hydration, and a bottle of their vanilla-infused fruity floral body mist.

Shave Starter Set Blush

I previously named this the best overall razor for sensitive skin. The 100% plastic-free and recyclable women's razor is rust-proof and comes with five replacement blades. Most importantly, it features a single stainless steel blade to avoid irritation and a weighted handle that has a nice grip for close AF shaving, so your body feels smooth like a dolphin.

It sports a slightly curved head that makes shaving the underarms and knees especially seamless.

Silk Pillowcase

Everybody sleeps, so why not let your loved one rest without compromising their hair and skin health with this chic, machine-washable silk pillowcase from Slip.

Dermatologists love silk pillowcases for preventing hair breakage, frizz, and dryness. The luxe material is beneficial for the skin, too: it minimizes facial creases from sleeping and absorbs less moisture, oil, and dirt than cotton. Not to mention, these silk pillowcases are award-winning and available in several gorgeous colors, but my top two are Pink and White.

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask

I previously named this the best red light therapy device because I love using mine, and so do celebs like Halle Berry and Amal Clooney.

The award-winning face mask helps improve skin tone, texture, and firmness. It's so easy to use and non-irritating that your giftee can wear it on the day of a major milestone event. Just ask stars like Carey Mulligan, who sported this red LED light therapy face mask while primping for the Oscars red carpet.

Effaclar Dermatological Acne Treatment

Guys typically don't have multi-step grooming routines, and that's OK. However, if your favorite brother could help eliminate zits, then La Roche-Posay's trio is the winner.

It includes a salicylic acid-infused face cleanser and treatment lotion, plus my all-time favorite acne spot treatment: Effaclear Duo, which has shrunken my angriest pimples, so I like to keep a tube in my medicine cabinet at all times just in case.

The Daily Essential Duo The Rich Cream

Our moms and mother figures only deserve top-tier products. Augustinus Bader is by far and beyond the best skincare brand in the game for anti-aging. It's elite, both in quality and price. But don't let the higher cost deter you from treating your mom or favorite mother figure to this gift.

The brand's pricey products are 100% worth the splurge because my skin is always deeply hydrated, softer, and plumper whenever I apply their signature Rich Cream. My mom's a major fan of the cream because it combines proprietary TFC8 with evening primrose oil, hyaluronic acid, argan oil, and vitamin E.

This duo also comes with their popular eye cream, which minimizes dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles. It's infused with TFC8, seaweed extracts, Arjun tree extract, vitamin C, and niacinamide.

Mini+ Petite Facial Toning Device Mini in Sunset Blush

Microcurrent devices are like HIIT workouts for facial muscles that create lifted, wrinkle-free skin with regular use. NuFace is the golden standard of at-home microcurrent care, and their Mini+ Petite is ideal for on-the-go treatments without breaking the bank.

The set includes a pretty pink toning device (there are more colors if your loved one is sick of Barbiemania), plus a bottle of prep gel and brush for mess-free application.

There's also a bottle of Silk Creme moisturizer to brighten and firm the skin even further.

Humidifier Starter Set Starter Set in Cream

Winter is fast approaching, meaning heaters will be cranked up high, and our skin will suffer in drier environments. Enter this epic humidifier that hydrates rooms up to 500 square feet in size and even doubles as an essential oil diffuser. It's a one-two punch for dewy, hydrated skin and home fragrance lovers.

Your loved one will also appreciate the convenience of using a Canopy humidifier. It features dishwasher-safe parts, and you can purchase a one-off set or treat them to a subscription for either the filter only or both the filter and the scents, which ships every 45 days.

DRx SpectraLite LipWare Pro LED Device

Our lips don't just need hydration or even a good scrub. Enable your loved one to take things further with this handy LED device crafted by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross, M.D.

It employs red light therapy to boost collagen and minimize lip lines rather than just creating a temporary plumping effect. But that's not all; LipWare Pro helps improve circulation so their pout is more defined without lipliner and enhances their natural color.

Glazed & Glowing Advanced Hydration Gift Set

Hear me out: Yes, goat milk sounds funny to use on the skin, but the hero ingredient found in this duo is incredible for soothing inflamed skin. Goat milk is also rich in omega fatty acids to strengthen and smooth the skin.

Bloom Cream is a daily moisturizer that won't disturb your skin's natural microbiome. Although it has a lightweight feel and lotion-like consistency, this face moisturizer is very hydrating and helps restore a healthy radiance to dull, tired skin.

There's also a bottle of Oh! Mega Milk facial oil to deeply hydrate your complexion. Like Bloom Cream, it's also lightweight and fragrance-free. Your loved one can wear them solo, layered, or, my personal favorite way, mixed into a liquid foundation for added luminosity.

Reusable Under Eye + Brow Mask Set

Whether they're up late from studying for grad school exams or went a little too hard on thirsty Thursdays, help your favorite college student hit reset on their skincare routine with this set of anti-aging helpers.

Pacifica gave their award-winning reusable eyebrow and undereye masks a temporary makeover with cute red and blue motifs. These masks are unique because they're not infused with any products. Instead, they're made from 100% silicone and are meant to be layered over someone's favorite eye cream or serum for deeper hydration. The reusable beauty products come with breathable tins for easy storage.

Tub Kit

Shopping for someone who enjoys the ritual of drawing a bath? Look no further than maude's tub kit that comes in three enticing scents: no. 1 embraces warm notes of amber, cedar leaf, glove, and tonka bean; no. 2 encompasses vibrant notes of pink pepper, lemon, cedarwood, and gurjun balsam; and no. 3 bottles up the fresh notes of eucalyptus, sandalwood, cassis, and vetiver.

Each set includes nourishing bath salts from the Dead Sea and a coconut milk powder soak that envelopes the skin with moisturizing, mineral-rich properties.

Clean Body

Oh, you thought electric cleansing brushes were just for the face? Not quite. PMD makes one for the body, and unlike other competitors, this one features a handle for easy cleansing of hard-to-reach areas, such as the back. This will be an incredible skincare gift for anyone dealing with post-workout body breakouts or just wanting smoother skin this winter.

Each waterproof tool is equipped with bristles for daily care, but users use one of three magnetic attachments on the flipside to massage, polish, or deeper cleanse the body.

What I appreciate most is that it's made from silicone, which helps prevent unwanted bacteria from accumulating on the device and putting it onto the skin.

A bonus: There are enough colorways to match someone's bathroom decor, like Blush, Teal, and Navy.

GLOfacial Hydro-Infusion Deep Pore Cleansing Tool

This beauty tool doesn't replace my beloved Hydrafacial spa treatment, which professionally cleanses, extracts, and hydrates in 30 minutes. However, for a one-time price that's slightly less than an average Hydrafacial, GLOfacial is a solid pore vacuum. So consider this at-home device for anyone with acne-prone skin, such as teens, who deserves some much-needed TLC.

Designed with acne-prone skin types in mind, GLOfacial removes blackheads while infusing the skin with salicylic acid to treat zits. It also has blue LED light therapy to help further zap pimples. This USB rechargeable beauty tool comes with two attachments for larger areas like the forehead and cheeks and a small tip for the nose.

Shea Lavender Hands & Body Liquid Soap Duo

Elevate your giftee's shower time with this liquid soap from L'Occitane en Provence. Not only does it smell like fresh lavenders in Southern France, but it's good for the skin. The gentle cleanser uses shea butter extract to soften dry, tired body and hands.

What I appreciate most about this duo is that it can also be used as a hand soap. Don't get me wrong, I love using Dial and Softsoap, but sometimes, it would be nice to use a product with an elevated olfactory palette that still effectively cleanses my hands. Knowing this won't dry my skin this upcoming winter, I am so down to bring this into my bathroom — and I'm confident your loved one will appreciate the gesture, too.

Adjustable Shower Caddy

Everyone knows that one person with an overwhelming amount of skincare products (slowly raises hand). Help your loved one become more like Monica Geller from Friends and finally get their overflowing shower essentials under control with this rust-free simplehuman caddy.

This shower caddy is available in four sizes, including extra-large and large. It has adjustable shelves that slide up, down, and sideways to accommodate larger bottles, such as shower gels and shampoos. Each shower caddy also features suction cups and a secure top closure to ensure they won't swing.

barrier+ Mini Bestsellers Set

Shopping for someone with sensitive skin is difficult because you don't want to accidently irritate their face. Skinfix is one of my favorite refillable beauty brands that happens to support dry, sensitive skin.

The kit includes a travel-sized version of their best-selling products, including the Foaming Oil Cleanser, Triple Lipid+ Collagen Activing Serum, and Barrier+ face cream.

Not only does the brand utilize derm-approved ingredients, such as niacinamide, to brighten and smooth skin, but there's a patented complex of lipids and ceramides for healthier skin.

Clarifying + Pore-Refining Essentials

Those with combination and oily skin types might be tempted to skip wearing moisturizer because their skin becomes shiny quickly. This gift set from Tatcha is an easy solution to their problem. The lightweight gel moisturizer uses wild rose to shrink the look of pores and reduce excess oil production.

Tatcha's kit also includes a face cleanser with gentle exfoliants and the brand's popular Texture Tonic for a rebalanced complexion.

x Smiley Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray (3-Pack)

Cold and flu season is rapidly approaching, so hand sanitizer is necessary. The only problem? Hand sanitizers don't smell good, and they dehydrate the skin. Touchland changed the game with their fruity-smelling hand sanitizers that meet the CDC's COVID guidelines and are infused with skincare-quality moisturizing ingredients, like aloe vera and emollients.

The Smiley collab is undoubtedly my favorite scent Touchland has ever created. The bright smell of mango, passion fruit nectar, and ripe peaches is incredible. Whenever I use this hand sanitizer in the office, everyone assumes I'm testing a new women's perfume because it smells that damn good.

Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel Pads (60 Treatments)

Stars like Angela Bassett and socialite Olivia Palermo love this chemical peel created by board-certified Dr. Dennis Gross, M.D. Instead of harsh physical exfoliants like face scrubs with granules, the Daily Peel Pads are soft on the skin and infused with chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic, lactic, and malic acids. There's also resveratrol and green tea extract to guard the skin from free radical damage.

Wild Night: The Evening Kit

Drunk Elephant is one of the best clean beauty brands in the game, so when I saw they released a 4-piece skincare set ahead of the holiday season, I immediately knew it was worth your hard-earned money.

The quad includes nightly beauty essentials that are safe for all skin types, including the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser and Ceramighty AF Eye Balm. There's also the brands extremely popular T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum and Lala Retro Whipped Cream to lock in hydration until your giftee rinses their face in the AM.

Mighty Moisture Essentials

Kiehl's is the perfect brand for gifting because their skincare products are unisex, although they market a men's line. However, there's no fluffy packaging nor traditionally girly colorways here. Just essential yet effective, high-quality skincare products suitable for your office Secret Santa recipient whom you may not know too well. The $36 price tag doesn't hurt either.

The set includes travel-friendly versions of their beloved skincare products for head-to-toe hydration. There's the iconic facial cream, cucumber-infused eye cream, luxe hand cream, and fast-absorbing body lotion.
