Kicking off my annual gift guides, for this first Christmas gift guide, I thought I’d start with skin care. It’s definitely an area I need to dive into more, and take more notice of.

Who can resist Origins skincare, one of the top brands I’ve used and loved, my sensitive skin has never reacted against them. From a face wash to serum and mask this kit has 7 best sellers. Not the biggest of amounts ranging from 10ml to 30ml but an excellent stepping stone to finding your hero product.

An excellent skin set for your chap, as long as he’s not a grizzly Adams like mine, this is for the clean shaven office men, huge amounts from 75ml to 500ml it gives massive value for money, and will last them a while too. From shower gel to salt spray and moisturizer, it gives them a bit of everything.

I love the Ordinary and this kit for Uneven skin tone describes me perfectly, with dry patches, aging skin, blemishes and just overall needs a brightening regime. This is a great step into skin care. From 30ml to 50ml products.

Clinique is an old time but timeless brand, you know it’s good and has stood the test of time. It doesn’t say actual sizes but they are 4 full size products and they include a face wash, a face scrub, moisturizer and eye cream.

Ren has my heart, the smell is like an expensive spa, and it just feels so nourishing. Super gentle on reactive skin like mine, and good sizes too 50ml products and one balm at 15ml

A great way to get your partner male or female into skin care, and not overwhelming them, just 2 classic products for brightening and evening out skin tone and giving it a fuller look. Both 30ml products.

I know some Love Charlotte Tilbury and this looks like the best set for skin, though travel sized products you get the magic exilir and serum. Find out why everyone raves about her products.

My favourite for men, a collection of different brands such as Polaar, inkey list, skin chemists. A great selection of shampoo, moisturizer, serums and after shave.

Kiehl’s another long standing brand that just delivers every time. A set to cleanse treat and hydrate. Exactly what you need this winter season. From 28ml to 50ml you have all you need here.

Mature skin for both men and women can benefit from this, small sizes but a good introduction to Sunday Riley and test out some of their bestsellers. A good evening routine to get the best out of your skin while you sleep. What could be better.
