Top Gifts For Women – Skincare and Haircare related gifts
These are the Christmas gift ideas for women that women love receiving.
1. Silk Pillowcases
Silk pillowcases are more like a luxury gift that almost every woman enjoys. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase helps with your hair not getting tangled as much as it’s very helpful for your skin.
Cotton pillowcases are harder on the skin, and especially if the person that you are buying this pillowcase is sleeping on one side it will help her in reducing the wrinkles and fine lines developed while sleeping on a side.
2. Humidifier/ Aroma Therapy Diffuser
Another great gift and one that all people in dry climates need is a humidifier. Your skin retains moisture from the air so it’s important to have good humidity indoors, especially at night. In the wintertime, a humidifier is a must, because the heating units make the air drier, which can have a bad effect on the skin, making your skin even drier.
If you want to get fancy with the gift, it is best to take an aroma diffuser which can be used either as just a humidifier or a few drops of essential oils can be added to it, giving a nice and relaxing scent. This is definitely the go-to gift for people that enjoy essential oils and nature.
3. Rituals Gift Set
If you want to play it safe with your gift and you don’t want to create a gift basket by yourself then buying a treat set is for you. This treat set from RITUALS called The Ritual of Ayurveda is simply amazing. It contains a foaming shower gel, body scrub, hand wash, and body cream, and all of them smell divine.
4. Facial Cleansing Tool
A very nice gift for a woman is a facial cleansing device. Something like Foreo Luna mini or Pmd Clean helps deeply cleanse the skin, massage it, as well as exfoliate it by doing a physical exfoliation to the skin.
If you are going for a cleansing device, I highly recommend one with a silicon brush as it’s gentler on the skin and can be cleaned easier after each use. For a more budget-friendly option, you can go with Flawless’s Silicone Face Scrubber and Cleanser.
5. Silk Sleeping Mask
This gift is for the woman who can’t sleep at night if there is any light in the room. It can be of help also when traveling or while camping helping the person wearing it to enjoy an uninterrupted, deep, and restful sleep. This silk sleeping mask is comfortable to wear while sleeping, adjustable, and lightweight in general.
6. Microfiber Hair Turban Towel
Cotton towels are too heavy to have them like a turban after you wash your hair. Having a microfiber hair towel wrap helps your hair detangle easier and it stops pulling your hair like a normal cotton towel would do. That way, your hair is not stressed as much and you won’t get to have as many broken hairs after it dries.
Microfiber hair towels are super absorbent and help dry the hair faster.
7. Olaplex Combo for Healthy Hair
I think by now almost everyone heard about the Olaplex products, how amazing they are, and how good they are to the hair. Olaplex products help in repairing the hair and maintaining bonds within the hair, while also adding shine.
You can go with a combo of Olaplex No.4, Bond Maintenence Shampoo, and Olaplex No.5, Bond Maintenence Conditioner. If you want to splurge, you should also add Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, which is a very good hair treatment to do at home and which gives some of the results people might get in a salon after some use. You can also go just with No.3 which repairs and strengthens all hair types.
8. Silk Scrunchies
Another inexpensive gift for women is silk scrunchies. They feel amazing and are actually very soft on the hair, preventing breakage and frizz of the hair. For people that sleep with their hair tied up in a bun, it is best for hair to tie it up with a silk scrunchie.
9. Pack of Sheet Masks
If you want a very budget-friendly gift for women then I suggest you go with a pack of sheet masks. Sheet masks contain high concentration actives usually, and they are the equivalent of an at-home facial that every woman needs from time to time.
I suggest you select a few different ones for her to have what to choose from. That is, of course only if you don’t want to buy a pack that contains multiple types of sheet masks – ranging from ones for dry skin to sheet masks for oily skin.
This particular set of masks claims to have natural ingredients and be paraben-free and cruelty-free – making this gift highly appreciated by a woman who loves animals.
10. Hair Masks
A very inexpensive gift for women is a hair mask. I find Garnier Fructis masks to be amazing for hair and they smell absolutely delicious.
I personally love the one with papaya extract which helps damaged hair and the one with banana extract. Did I mention they smell like a dream? Because they really do, I always get a lot of compliments from my boyfriend about how my hair smells amazing.
11. A Set of Skincare Essentials
Any woman should take care of her skin. To better prevent the signs of aging women, and not only, men too should have a proper skincare routine. They should at least cleanse their face every day and moisturize the skin. To better do this, this amazing skincare set from Rihanna contains all the skincare essentials one might need and helps everyone take care of their skin. The set contains a cleanser, a toner/serum, and a moisturizer with SPF.
12. Facial Oil
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair oil is amazing for all skin types from dry to oily skin. It is used as the last step in a skincare routine and it locks all the moisture added to the skin in the prior skincare routine steps. It’s a classic when it comes to facial oils but it’s totally worth the money.
13. Scalp Brush
A perfect gift for women to add to a skincare/haircare gift basket is a silicone hairbrush. Massaging your scalp in the shower is an enjoyable washing experience. This kind of silicone brushes for the scalp help in cleansing the scalp better as well as help in improving blood circulation on the scalp, so it’s a win-win situation.
14. A Good Cleansing Balm
The award for the best cleansing balm goes to… BANILA AND CO. The Original Balm. This balm cleanses the skin, emulsifies, and rinses off completely, while also smelling divine. For other cleansing and oil balm suggestions, you can check out this post.
15. Make-up Organizer
A make-up/skincare organizer is the perfect gift for a woman who has a lot of skin and hair care products. Having a rolling skincare organizer is a lot of help, it doesn’t take a lot of space and it can be used anywhere, on the boudoir, in the bathroom, bedroom, vanity, or anywhere you have/keep your skincare. It is also very easy to assemble which is always a must.
16. A Good, Soothing HA Serum
Hyaluronic Acid, also known as HA is what makes skin look plump and young. A serum with Hyaluronic Acid is amazing for the skin when used on damp skin. A great gift to add to a skincare gift basket is Vichy Mineral 89. It also contains the renowned Vichy Mineral Water which helps in soothing the skin.
17. Skincare Fridge
Personally, I consider this to be an amazing gift for a woman that loves skincare and it’s always trying new skincare products. The skincare fridge is small, pretty silent and it keeps all your favorite products cold. That means they will work better and also give a cooling effect to the skin.
People like to keep eye patches, roller, ampules, and serums, as well as sheet masks in the fridge for that cooling effect you get in the morning when you use them. Having cool products also helps with depuffing the eyes and the skin.
18. Jade Roller and Gua Sha Facial Tools
An easy and simple as well as an inexpensive skincare gift for women and men. Jade Roller and Gua Sha Facial Tools help in massaging the skin, which provides better circulation and firming of the skin.
19. Led Therapy Mask
This is definitely a luxury gift for the woman who has everything. But, if you know that the woman you want to gift it to enjoys going to the esthetician or to a dermatologist almost every month to take care of her skin – then this is the one gift she will love.
The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite Dpl FaceWare Pro is a red-blue LED Light Therapy device that helps with a lot of skin concerns.
The Red LED Light helps stimulate collagen production deep within the skin, while the Blue LED Light helps people with acne by destroying the acne-causing bacteria. Together, they target wrinkles and blemishes, helping to smooth the face and reducing irritation and redness.
20. Nail Set
Another great self-care gift is a nail set for the woman who likes to make her own nails and likes to paint them. In the context of the pandemic, women who were used to having their nails done professionally had to take care of their nails themselves without any professional help when everyone had to stay indoors. That’s why this nail polish set contains everything one needs to have the nails professionally done at home, from a UV lamp to nail polishes.
A must-have gift especially for young women who like to change their nails polish frequently.
21. Bath Bombs
Bath bombs are a MUST gift to every woman, especially moms that are in so much need of a nice, relaxing SPA bath from time to time. Most women love to have a nice, relaxing bath.
If you know that the woman whom you want to gift this to enjoys having hot relaxing baths then you can’t go wrong with bath bombs. There are a lot of scents that you can choose from, but I would say to just go with a set and let them choose how they want their SPA bath to smell.
22. A Good Moisturizer
A great addition to a self-care/skincare basket would be a very good moisturizer. Everyone needs to moisturize their skin and this moisturizer from Embryolisse not only is very hydrating to the skin but is also used as a make-up primer by a lot of make-up artists all over the world. It is good for all skin types so you really can’t miss this product.
23. Silk Pajamas
Silk or satin pajamas will make every woman feel like royalty. A good PJ set is one of the best gifts for women of all ages. They are comfortable and also nice to be seen in 😀. Take beauty sleep to a whole new level in this PJ silk set.
24. Body Lotion or Body Cream
The Ritual of Sakura Body Cream is a rich whipped cream that nourishes the skin. It has antioxidants, is very good for the skin and it also has a very luxurious fragrance, that will make everyone feel like royalty. It is really one of the best Christmas gifts for women and not only, but it is also a great gift all year round.
25. Hydrating Shower Oils
I absolutely LOVE shower oils. I prefer them over shower gels because they are softening the skin and hydrate it better than a shower gel does. They cleanse your skin, but let it plump and hydrated afterward so unless the person you are gifting this to is a very dry skin person, might not even need to use a body lotion after a shower.
I find L’Occitane shower oils and products, in general, to be amazing.
26. Lip Balms
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is considered one of the best lip masks there is and would fit perfectly into a self-care gift basket. There are multiple scents that you can choose from, but my lip sleeping mask of choice from Laneige is the Sweet Candy one. It’s absolutely delicious on the lips.
27. Self-tanner
This gift is for women that love to have tanned skin. Nowadays there is a multitude of self-tanners on the market, so there is no need for one to stay all day in the harmful rays of the sun. I like this Vita Liberata Self-Tanning Lotion because it gives you a gradual tan, has nourishing ingredients good for the skin and it doesn’t have that pronounced smell most of the self-tanners have. For me, the almost no smell is the best selling point about this product.
28. Dyson Supersonic Hair Drier
Most women take a lot of time to dry their hair with a blow dryer. Having a Dyson Supersonic Hair Drier takes some time back, as it quickly dries out the hair. It also has intelligent heat control, which means that it prevents extreme heat damage.
This is the perfect gift for the woman always on the run, who loves to do her own hair or is always on the run.
29. Perfume
Perfume is the perfect gift for any woman if you know what she likes. Try to find out if she likes something floral like Chloe or something spicier, like Black Opium or something sexy like Gucci Guilty Intense. I have to say, I absolutely love the vibe and sexiness Gucci Guilty inspires.
30. Fitbit/Xiaomi Band/Apple Watch
And any other fitness watch that shows you stats, makes you move by telling you when you’ve been sitting too long and takes your heartbeats. Doing some exercise is a must in being healthy and these watches track fitness activity and help make anyone move by alerting that person that they’ve been sitting for too long.
The most inexpensive one and my favorite is Xiaomi Mi Band. If you want to go with a better one and a little more expensive one, then a good choice is the Fitbit Watch. A more luxury gift is the Apple Watch, if you have the money for it then this is surely an amazing gift for any woman.
31. Headbands
Another cute gift for girlfriends is an inexpensive set of bowknots headbands. They help keep the hair in place when washing the face and they are also super adorable.
If this is too much then another choice would be the adjustable headbands, just as practical as the bow ones, but simpler. Any of these choices would go amazing into a skincare gift basket.
32. Wrist Towels
These wrist towels or wrist wash bands how they are also called, are an amazing gift for a skincare enthusiast that likes to cleanse her skin every night. They help reduce and prevent liquid from spilling down the arms when washing the face. It’s a set of 4 wrist wash bands that come in really handy.
33. Scented Candles
What better way to relax and unwind after a hard day than a hot bath and scented candles? They are the perfect way to bring notes of tropical fruits right at home, in your own bathroom.
These scented candles smell amazing, burn for a lot of hours and come in a glass jar. It’s the perfect gift for a working mum that comes home after a full working day to take care of her children and finds a few minutes to go have a nice bath with scented candles.
34. At-Home Hair Removal Devices
Philips Lumea Advanced IPL is a hair removal device for the body and face that gives a soft smooth skin without going to the salon or having a wax. Definitely a must-have product for any woman that wants to get rid of the unwanted hair on her body.
It’s easy and effective and anyone can have their own beauty salon at home with this device.
Remember skincare and haircare are personal so better give the women in your life some products she’ll enjoy using.
