Mother’s Day gift guide for the mum who loves skincare

With Autumn comes a host of changes. Colder weather, minimal motivation to leave the house, and, of course, the painstaking task of finding a gift adequate for the women who nurtured us in their wombs for nine months and then spent sixteen years cooking spag bols.

That’s right folks, Mother’s Day is just around the corner and the time is nigh to start securing the perfect gift. Luckily for you, this Autumn, we have released a particularly stellar lineup of new and exciting skincare products designed to ward away dryness and irritation that often come part and parcel with the cooler months. As well as a few of the classics that undoubtedly still have it.

And we may be biased. But we believe there truly is no greater gift than the gift of glowing, healthy skin. So, in the spirit of helping out our fellow favourite children, we’ve created a definitive list of Mother’s Day gift ideas that simply… don’t suck. We’ve got something that every mum will genuinely love, you’re welcome.

Parent-worthy products

Skinsmiths LED Facial Mask

Mum absolutely deserves a little skin treat, especially one she can use time and time again to enjoy some downtime. And if you’re looking to knock this Mother’s Day out of the park, then we recommend the Skinsmiths LED Facial Mask. Very price competitive with similar models of its kind, think of this as your guaranteed upgrade to favourite child status.

Red LED light, known for its deeper penetration, is celebrated for strengthening cell structure, smoothing fine lines, and mitigating skin inflammation. Meanwhile, the blue LED light, targeting the surface, becomes a warrior against acne-causing bacteria, preventing future breakouts and maintaining skin clarity.

Or, if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, a nice gua sha or derma roller still makes for an incredible gift.

Gift kits

No one does gift kits quite like Caci. With an option for every concern and every occasion, Murad delivers the hydration boost you need with the likes of ‘The Wrinkle Fighters’ which includes a full size Targeted Wrinkle Correcter and a cult-favourite Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum.

Or, if dark spots have been a concern for mum, treat her to ‘The Dark Spot Correcters’ which includes a Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial, Vita-C Glycolic Serum and a Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum all in one handy set.

Skinsmiths also have an inspiring lineup of kits, each with its own skin concern. From ‘Defeat Dryness’ to the ‘Age Defying Kit’, there is something for every parent.

But, if you think mum needs a push in the right direction when it comes to choosing their skin treatment, here are a few we know she’s going to love…

Microdermabrasion

Think of microdermabrasion as the skin’s personal cheerleader, getting it to be its best self. It’s like giving your face a mini workout, buffing away the blah and bringing on the glow. Perfect for almost everyone, it’s the go-to for shrinking those pores and making your skin as smooth as silk.

Skincare Infusion

You know all those topical skincare ingredients we mentioned above? The skincare infusion basically combines all the very best of them, and then uses soundwaves to deeply penetrate those active ingredients into the skin’s dermis. These active ingredients, which is a cocktail of vitamin C and peptides, both work to encourage the stimulation and production of collagen.

Hydradermabrasion

Hydradermabrasion is like a tall glass of water for the face. It’s super gentle and leaves skin feeling like its just had the most refreshing dive into a pool.

Facial Peels

Facial peels are mums quick fix to getting that fresh-faced look without any downtime. It’s like hitting the reset button on your skin, revealing the soft, glowing complexion underneath.

Or, try Profhilo…

If you really want to tell your siblings who’s boss, then give your mum the gift of Profhilo. Profhilo is a bio-stimulator made from Hyaluronic Acid used to enhance the face and neck area. Unlike traditional Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers you may have come across, Profhilo does not volumise, instead, it is injected just under the surface of the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin to improve skin hydration, lines, wrinkles, skin tone, laxity and firmness while giving a tightening and lifting effect to our skin.

It’s no secret that as we age our skin tends to lose moisture which can result in dryness and dullness if left unchecked. Prophilo addresses this concern often associated with mature skin by delivering deep hydration into the lower layers of the skin. The small injections of hyaluronic acid work to replenish moisture levels from the inside out, which restores the skin’s natural plumpness and radiance. By focusing on hydrating the skin from within, Prophilo will help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as give the skin an overall glow.

No matter what you get mum this Mother’s Day we’re sure she’ll love you no matter what. But that being said, there’s no harm in securing some brownie points while you’re at it. And even if it involves rallying the siblings and maybe even the old man to make it happen, these gifts are worthy of being sent to the sibling group chat.
