Best Skincare Gift Sets in 2018 | The Urban Umbrella | Vancouver Based Beauty and Style Blog

I can’t believe we’re already in November. It feels like it was just August – where has the time gone?

Last year, I vowed to myself that I would start early on my holiday gift shopping. I would not be the person who left their holiday shopping to the last minute, instead, I’d be the person who was done months in advance. #Goals – amirite?

Anyways, every year my family picks names for gifts and this year I got the easiest person to buy for (hooray!) which is my mum.Getting her name got me thinking about one thing: skincare. I am a skincare fiend, but my mum is next level – she is a skincare ultra-fiend.

FRESH BEAUTY

Fresh Beauty has been one of my favourite go-to brands for years. Their incredible skincare products like their skincare masks (which you can purchase now in a full Fresh Miles Of Masks set!) which I just LOVE binge masking with, their beautiful and moisturizing lip-tints, and their light and beautiful perfumes are just a few products that I absolutely adore. In fact, on second thought – I have yet to find a product I don’t absolutely love!

This year, Fresh Beauty has released some stunning travel-inspired holiday sets. Their adorable luggage-style packaging, cute Fresh Beauty “bag tags”, and creative travel set titles (ie. Sky High-dration” – so cute!) makes these sets even more exciting to give out to loved ones this holiday season.

The Body Shop

Next up is The Body Shop, another brand that I have used and loved for years. My love affair with The Body Shop began when I was just in my teens. I was addicted to their Tea Tree Oil sets which helped keep blemishes at bay.

While I am no longer just focused on dealing with blemishes anymore (hello, fine lines *tear*) I still frequent The Body Shop for other products.

Actually, after my recent visit, I can officially say that I am obsessed with their Oils of Life Serum – it beautifully and lightly hydrates the face, and I love mixing it into foundations to sheer them out and give them a more luminous appearance. It’s a great skincare + makeup tool!

This year, The Body Shop has a ton of incredible sets at a variety of prices to fit everyone’s budget. (If you’re not sure what to get someone then I highly recommend you check out their masks + adorable animal inspired headbands!)

Laura Mercier

Alright, now that’s we’ve tackled skincare for the face, let’s talk about body care – because you guys, it’s just as important! We focus so much on the skin on our faces that we forget to care for the skin everywhere else.

During the winter months especially, body care is important to me. It’s the time of year that my skin gets drier, rougher, and more irritated.

Laura Mercier this year has launched a beautiful Body Souffle Gift Set. This is such a great gift set for those in your life that love skincare, but maybe are more particular when it comes to their facial skincare routine.

These pretty pastel-toned body lotions are so luxurious feeling and I just can’t get over how beautiful the packaging is.
