20 Best Skincare Gifts For Every Skin Type

The holidays are the time for giving, which also happens to be one of the languages of love. "If your primary love language is gift-giving, it means that you express your love by giving others presents," licensed clinical psychologist Juanita Guerra, Ph.D. told Women's Health. While spending quality time with loved ones can never be replaced, it's always nice to give gifts to show that you care. And the true value of the gifts isn't based on how much you spend on them but on the thoughtfulness behind them.

Makeup and perfume gift sets may be better suited for beauty lovers, but skincare products are universally appreciated as everyone should take care of their skin. During the holiday season, luxury and drugstore skincare brands release limited-edition collections and drool-worthy beauty advent calendars curated with their best products. It's often cheaper to purchase these collections rather than buying all of the products separately, so it's an exciting time to stock up on your must-haves and discover new favorites.

Spread love and joy this holiday season by giving someone one of these skincare gifts. And perhaps get a little something for yourself too.

Perhaps your mom has always had her eye on a product from a luxury skincare brand and never thought to buy it for herself, or maybe your best friend is devoted to a specific brand that recently launched a new collection. A skincare gift set would make the perfect present for them as it shows you care and have paid attention to what makes them happy.

The skincare gift sets on this list are from reputable brands that have bundled their bestsellers together, released curated lines of complete skincare routines, combined collections of relaxing face masks, and personalized products for specific skin needs. These sets are popular, have excellent reviews from buyers, and provide good value, so you're not breaking the bank by doing something thoughtful.

We guarantee that special people in your life will love receiving one of these gift sets and will radiate confidence after seeing how their skin glows after using the products in them.

Face masks are the ultimate form of self-care since you can just sit and relax while they work their magic. This holiday season spread some love by giving someone the Origins Mask This Way gift set, which includes five masks that can provide skin with the ultimate love. These masks include the goodness of honey, avocado, and hyaluronic acid, so they give skin big doses of TLC. Skin feeling a little dry? The Drink Up Intensive mask keeps your skin hydrated for 72 hours. Holiday stress making you break out? The Out of Trouble mask will eliminate excess oil that could lead to more pimples.

The masks included in the gift set are easy to carry with you on a getaway, as one reviewer noted, saying, "This trial pack is awesome. This set is a terrific value for the price as it's a $40 value. I get about 4-5 uses out of each of the 0.5 oz bottles. This is also a good buy if you travel. I took the little 10-minute rescue mask on vacation."
