The 40 Best Skincare Gifts of 2024, Per Byrdie Editors

Call us biased, but when it comes to holiday gifts, we’re convinced skincare goodies are the best ones. Whether you’re treating a certified beauty buff or someone looking to elevate their routine, there’s no shortage of beauty gifts at various price points. Think cutting-edge tools and tech, skincare staples they’ll reach for daily, and luxe body care akin to a pampering spa treatment. Don’t forget kits and sets that turn a tired skincare routine into a moment of self-care, and, of course, lip and lash products to lend any look some extra pizazz. Ready to be the best gift-giver of the season? We’ve got you covered with a selection of our skincare favorites.

Tools and Tech

These innovative gadgets and tools go beyond surface-level pampering, targeting facial muscles, lymphatic fluid, and the deepest layers of skin. Our selection includes an LED mask with collagen-boosting capabilities, a microcurrent device to tone facial muscles, and mouth tape—the viral beauty must-have that proponents swear creates a snatched jawline while you sleep.

Skincare Staples

Simple yet luxurious, a skincare staple (or several) makes the perfect stocking stuffer or white elephant gift. You can’t go wrong with these cult faves and tried-and-true essentials, including a moisturizer that’s softer than a cloud, antioxidant-rich under-eye patches, and the glazing milk that leaves Hailey Bieber’s skin looking ridiculously dewy.

Body Care

These spa-like products and tools are a pleasure to use, proving that body care doesn’t have to be a chore (yes, even the hand cream is a treat). Choose from a dry brush to encourage lymphatic drainage and buff away dry patches, a whole-body gua sha to boost circulation, or a nourishing body oil to soften and revitalize skin from head to toe.

Kits and Sets

The beauty kit/set is the perfect curated introduction to a brand’s top-sellers—arguably one of the most classic gifts ever. We whittled down the huge number of options out there, settling on a glowy SPF set from Supergoop! any dermatologist would approve of, a skincare collection from SkinMedica designed to enhance in-office procedures, Sol de Janeiro’s ultimate travel beauty kit, and more.

Lips and Lashes

Name a more iconic duo than lips and lashes. Trust us: Gifts that enhance and amplify the flirtiest features are always welcome. Our list includes a curl-enhancing eyelash conditioner, a softening lip scrub, and a lip butter balm that needs no introduction.
