We don’t talk nearly enough about the fact that the holiday season is the best time of year to stock up on skin care. Not only do the sets that most major retailers are offering right now make drool-worthy gifts for everyone on your list, but they also happen to offer major deals on products you’d normally pay full price. That’s where the holiday’s best skin-care gift sets come into play.
That means you should take full advantage and make a few additions to your own collection (you’re already shopping, after all). Below, we rounded up them up to offer you the best values on everything you need to craft an entirely new routine. Whether they make it into someone’s stocking or go straight to your bathroom shelf is entirely up to you.
1. La Mer Hydration Comfort Mini Collection, $90
Nothing says “luxury” like La Mer, and this kit offers a taste of five of the brand’s most beloved products: a treatment lotion, concentrated serum, moisturizer, and eye cream. If you want to tell someone you love them, I highly recommend doing it with $90 worth of bougie moisturizing products. For what it’s worth: That someone can totally be yourself.
