For most European countries, Mother’s Day 2022 is only days or weeks away. If you haven’t found your lovely mother a present yet, now is the time to start shopping. If you really want to pamper your mother, Mother’s Day is the absolute best day to do this. Whether you’re pampering your mother by taking her out for the day, cooking her dinner or giving her luxury skincare products, she will love it for sure. You might be overwhelmed by the enormous selection of skincare products and brands to choose from. We understand that you won’t be satisfied with anything less than the absolute best for your mum so therefore, we have composed a luxury skincare gift guide for Mother’s Day 2022.
How do you know what skincare products are best for your mum?
Buying skincare products for someone other than yourself can be extra difficult as with skincare, it’s important to know what someone’s skin type is. Skincare products are often made specifically for a certain skin type or skin concern and will be less effective when used for the wrong purpose. So, it’s time to pay a little more attention to your mother’s skin. You might be able to tell that she has oily skin when her face always has a glow over it, or if she has dry patches on her skin this will likely mean her skin type is dry skin.
Then there’s the more difficult skin types: sensitive skin and combination skin. If your mum has an oily T-zone but dry cheeks, she likely has combination skin. If her skin is irritated quickly and she often struggles with redness, itching or breakouts, then it’s likely that she has sensitive skin. If you’re in doubt, take our skin quiz to find out more.
Luxury skincare gift for Mother’s Day
You can never go wrong with gifting luxury skincare. A fitted, luxury skincare routine is essential to maintain healthy skin, minimise any blemishes or spots and to keep youthful-looking skin. Whether your mother spends a good hour in the bathroom getting ready for the day or she prefers a quick but effective skincare routine, you should always opt for high-quality skincare. We recommend avoiding cheap skincare products you can buy at your local supermarket as they probably contain bad ingredients or are less effective. We have listed our favourite, most effective skincare products to gift for Mother’s Day.
1. Obagi Professional-C® Serum
The absolute love of our life: Vitamin C. We swear by it! Whereas Vitamin C can be found in fruits such as oranges, it’s also a widely used and effective ingredient in skincare products. Obagi Professional-C® Serums contain Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic Acid, to help minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Besides its anti-ageing properties, these facial serums also brighten the skin whilst retaining moisture, which results in a healthy glow. Another plus is that the serum is available in three types; 10%, 15% and 20% for dry, combination or oily skin.
2. Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™
One of our most luxurious-looking skincare products is Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™, a lightweight facial serum which makes it look like you’re applying liquid gold onto your skin. Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™ can be used as a moisturiser as it hydrates the skin thoroughly, leaving it feeling smooth and fresh. A wonderful, thoughtful and luxury gift for Mother’s Day 2022.
3. Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Complete Complex Serum
Thirdly, our recommendation for a luxury skincare product would be the Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Complete Complex Serum. As the name suggests, it’s an eye serum that can be used to minimise the appearance of under-eye wrinkles and fine lines. The serum also contains Caffeine which helps to reduce the puffiness under the eyes. The perfect gift for your mother to combat signs of ageing and look fresher!
