Welcome to LovelySkin.com.
Though unwrapping gift boxes is undeniably fun, there’s nothing quite like the anticipation of reaching into a stocking and pulling out a pint-sized surprise. The best beauty and skin care stocking stuffers this holiday season are ready to delight, from indulgent face serums to a pocket-sized body balm capable of healing dry, winter skin.
Looking for a beauty stocking stuffer that’s worth its weight in gold? This golden-hued hair oil from cult-favorite hair care brand OLAPLEX is a festive choice. It doubles as a styler and a treatment, protecting hair during heat styling from temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and improving shine, softness and color vibrancy. In addition to nourishing sunflower seed, pomegranate seed and moringa seed oils, it also contains OLAPLEX’s proprietary bond-building ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which helps repair broken disulfide bonds in each strand to improve the appearance of dry, brittle and damaged locks.
Anyone whose skin is feeling winter-worn will be thrilled to find this in their stocking. This rich, soothing balm can be used anywhere on the body to help heal dry, itchy or chapped skin. “This balm treats skin conditions ranging from psoriasis and eczema to from poison ivy, seborrheic dermatitis and contact dermatitis,” says board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger. Thanks to 1% hydrocortisone, shea butter and cocoa butter, it will leave your irritated skin feeling calm and moisturized. There is also a smaller-sized product for lips that is available in vanilla and unflavored versions.
You can give the gift of a more comfortable shave with this skin care stocking stuffer from ELEMIS, which has earned a top rating from LovelySkin customers. Its formula contains chamomile, marine extracts and jojoba oil to help soothe skin and minimize irritation for a smooth shave. Aloe also gives skin a boost of hydration while a dose of menthol provides a refreshing cooling effect that lingers after the last razor stroke.
Want to really impress a skin care aficionado on your gift list? They’ll be nothing short of dazzled when they pull this innovative treatment from Natura Bisse out of their stocking. This anti-aging face serum contains the best of the Barcelona-based skin care brand’s pioneering technology, including patented bio-magnet nanosomes to help smooth rough texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as proprietary peptides and lipids to help firm and lift sagging skin.
Looking for a little beauty stocking stuffer for the makeup maven in your life? You can gift them an adorably petite portion of Dermablend’s translucent loose setting powder, perfect for travel or tucking in a makeup bag for everyday use. It helps control oiliness and mattifies the complexion and keeps your Dermablend coverage of choice—whether its all-over foundation, concealer or body makeup—smudge-free and in place for up to sixteen hours of wear.
LovelySkin LUXE’s popular clarifying cleanser is one of the best skin care stocking stuffers. It helps exfoliate skin and prevent breakouts with glycolic acid, salicylic acid and afaLUXE™, a dermatologist-developed molecule with Dead Sea minerals and vitamin C. “LovelySkin Luxe Gel Cleanser is my go-to product for a wide range of skin conditions and skin types,” Dr. Schlessinger says. “It works beautifully on sun-damaged skin, acneic skin and even rosacea-prone skin. Truly, it is a powerhouse and a great gift!”
Tech neck, be gone! By slipping this neck cream from leading science-backed brand SkinCeuticals into a loved one’s stocking, you’ll help them wake up to smoother, younger-looking skin. This treatment is specifically formulated to target signs of aging on the neck and is gentle enough for daily use. Horizontal lines, crepiness and loss of firmness on the neck are all diminished with the help of 0.2% time-released retinol and a tri-peptide complex.
Have a curly-haired cutie on your gift list? They’ll be thanking you for this beauty stocking stuffer every time they style their hair. Salon-quality styling line Ouidad makes a variety of hair products designed to enhance natural texture, and this gel-cream hybrid offers just the right balance of hold and definition without weighing hair down. A botanical blend of chia seed oil, Japanese camellia seed oil and milk thistle extract all work together to help support hair’s natural lipid barrier for hydrated, bouncy curls.
Luxe shaving products from The Art of Shaving make for a fantastic holiday gift. This set includes full sizes of some of the brand’s most popular shaving products, including the pre-shave oil, shaving cream and after-shave balm. It also includes a hand-crafted shaving brush to help lather up and exfoliate the skin for a close-as-can-be shave. Choose from the unscented set in classic black or the sandalwood-scented set with a festive cranberry-red motif.
Shopping for a jetsetter or college student? This trio of travel-sized dry shampoos from French pharmacy staple Klorane will be much-appreciated to quickly freshen up hair before an early morning class or flight. This trio was created to help discover which of the brand’s three dry shampoos are best for you: the gentle oat-milk formula, the volumizing flaxseed formula or the cooling mint-scented option. This box set would make a sweet beauty stocking stuffer for one person, or you could split it up and tuck one spray each into three different stockings!
Want to give a skin care stocking stuffer with serious anti-aging impact? This face serum features the latest rejuvenating innovations from SkinMedica and is sure to wow any skin care fan in your life this holiday season. It contains a proprietary tripeptide complex to help firm and lift skin and diminish wrinkles along with growth factors to help stimulate the production of collagen for younger, healthier-looking skin.
Swedish beauty brand FOREO is known for its delightfully designed skin care devices, and this pretty pastel facial toning device is one of the latest additions to its lineup. The BEAR mini uses microcurrent to massage and tone muscles in your face during each daily three-minute treatment. Its petite size is perfect for targeted treatments on smile and frown lines and along the jaw and cheekbones. This beauty stocking stuffer comes in two candy-colored hues: pearl pink or lavender.
This breakthrough product makes the perfect skin care stocking stuffer for your favorite BOTOX buddy. Revision Skincare created this innovative treatment to pair with neuromodulators, a.k.a. wrinkle-relaxing injectables such as BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. A key active ingredient is acetyl hexapeptide-8, which helps complement your in-office procedures by relaxing muscle contractions and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. In a twelve-week study, users reported a 100% greater improvement in crow’s feet and under-eye lines when pairing their neuromodulator procedure with daily application of Revox Line Relaxer.
Travel sizes are a great way to give new hair care products a try. This three-piece set is just the right size for a stocking, containing 1.7-ounce sizes of a shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment from L’ANZA’s Keratin Healing Oil line. This line is all about providing hair with essential fatty acids to help build body, volume and resilience. The shampoo and conditioner are formulated for daily use and the hair treatment helps to smooth frizz, protect against heat damage and reduce blow dry time with babassu kernel oil, keratin and Abyssinian flower oil.
Sensitive skin types shouldn’t be left out when it comes to skin care stocking stuffers. Sustainability-centric skin care brand REN delivers with this four-piece set of travel-sized products from its Evercalm line. There’s the Gentle Cleansing Milk, Redness Relief Serum, Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask and Global Protection Day Cream, all of which help calm the redness and irritation that can often plague those with dry, sensitive skin. Featured ingredients include moisturizing shea butter and jojoba oil, white mushroom extract to reduce blotchiness and beta carotene for antioxidant protection.
Whether you drop this box in a stocking or hang it from the tree, the festive ornament-style packaging is just right for gifting to the most glam recipient on your list. Ideal for perfecting cat-eye or winged looks, this liquid eyeliner from Glo Skin Beauty has a felt tip for precise application. Its rich, jet-black pigment dries quickly and evenly to a semi-gloss finish. Consider gifting it early, so it can be put to use at this season’s holiday soirees!
You know what they say about gifts that come in small packages! These anti-aging ampoules from Barcelona-based skin care brand ISDIN are tiny, but they deliver a seriously powerful punch when it comes to skin care benefits. Each face treatment is sealed in a single-use vial and contains a hydrating hyaluronic acid and glycerin to boost moisture content of skin and leave it looking plump and revitalized for up to eight hours.
