Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F Triple Serum Holiday Gift Set

This stunning set comes with three cult-fave Rénergie skincare products — a brightening serum, under-eye cream and moisturizer. Packed with hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid, vitamin C and niacinamide, this is the set I’m keeping for myself this year to help my skin look glowy and fresh. Not to mention, the gorgeous purple and silver packaging looks stunning on my bathroom vanity, too!

Kiehl’s Mighty Moisture Essentials Gift Set

When it comes to my combination skin, moisturizing is my number one priority during the cold winter months. I’ve tried what feels like countless different face creams, moisturizers and hydrating serums, but I always come back to the simple yet effective offerings from Kiehl’s. The Ultra Facial Cream, for example, has been one of my skincare must-haves for years. The Mighty Moisture Essentials Gift Set bundles the brand’s classic moisturizing creams at a majorly discounted rate, and it includes the  Ultra Facial Cream, a velvety body lotion and more.

Aesop Tuneful Textures Gift Set

Each winter, I’m reminded that my hand care routine is anything but stellar, which is why I’m always on the hunt for creams that can revive the dry skin. That’s why I’m adding this Aēsop gift set to my Christmas list. This set in particular comes with a gentle hand wash and balm that leave my hands feeling so hydrated and soft. With intoxicating notes of mandarin rind, rosemary leaf and cedar leaves, this is a luxe scent that I just can’t get enough of!

Youth to the People Superfood Face + Hand Care System

Bougie hand soap and lotion is the ultimate gift in my opinion because it’s not something I’m inclined to buy for myself, but it’s something that I’ll enjoy every time I use it. This YTTP Superfood kit includes hand soap, the yummiest hand and body lotion (it smells like fresh greens and cedarwood), plus minis of their cult-favorite facial cleanser and face cream. The hand soap and lotion is a chic addition to any bathroom counter, and the duo will keep your hands and body hydrated all winter long. The skincare minis are a great way to try out the brand, and they’re staples for all kinds of holiday travels.

IT Cosmetics Your Day-to-Night Moisturizing Skincare Gift Set 

During the cold season my skincare routine gets a little complicated in the moisturizer department. Depending on how cold it is and how my skin is reacting to the products, I’ll swap out my daily and nightly moisturizers to target specific concerns. This gift set from It Cosmetics is at the top of my wish list because it features two full-size jars of iconic face creams that I am always running out of, and at a discounted price. The Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Hydrating Moisturizer is extremely hydrating without feeling too greasy on my face. Also in this duo is the Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Night Cream which targets fine lines, wrinkles and dryness — a few key skin concerns I’m focusing on as I age. Truly, at the discounted price point, I wouldn’t say no to a few duplicates of this gift set to last me until next year.

Typology Essential Gift Set

I have an affinity for French beauty and French skincare. Maybe it’s because I not-so-secretly wish I could live in France, but it’s mostly because of how nourishing and straightforward beauty is within French culture. This simplicity is proven by the moisturizing and nutrient-rich skincare from Typology that repairs my skin and leaves it glowing. This Essential Gift Set was my introduction to the brand with three barrier-loving skincare products including a moisturizer, vitamin C serum and toner. All three products are extremely gentle on my sensitive skin and are made from 99 percent naturally derived ingredients.

Tower 28 Complete SOS Skincare Routine

This set, complete with a no-frills facial spray, serum and moisturizer, has been my saving grace while battling colder temperatures and extra-dry skin. It’s perfect for skincare lovers and those who are new to the skincare game as well — with just three simple steps, it helps lock in moisture and soothe chronic dryness. To top it off, all of the products are accepted by the National Eczema Association, making them ideal for any and all skin types, including those that are extra-sensitive and acne-prone.
