With Christmas just ten days away, you’re probably thinking about all of the little last minute things that you need to do ahead of the big day. You may even still have gifts to buy for the special people in your life, or have received an unexpected present from someone you don’t normally buy for and need to reciprocate. Whatever the reason for needing another gift, we’ve put together a guide to five sets that we think would make the perfect gifts for Christmas:

Aromatherapy Associates Moments To Treasure Gift Set

This set from Aromatherapy Associates is a real winner if you want to give a gift that will create a huge “WOW”! It contains 20 exquisite products, each of which is crafted from multi award-winning essential oil blends. There is a combination of products from bath and shower oils to roller balls for pulse points, products to help you sleep and destress, as well as a body brush and a vegan rollable travel pouch.

Color Wow Smooth and Sexy Party Hair Kit

If smooth sleek hair is the goal of the person for whom you are buying, then they really can’t do better than the Colour Wow Smooth And Sexy Party Hair Kit. It contains the Colour Wow Security Shampoo, the Colour Wow Security Conditioner and the Colour Wow Dream Coat, all of which combine to give you sleek, humidity resistant hair with both shine and volume.

Elemis Best of Elemis Mini Set

You need to be careful who you buy this Elemis Mini Set for because it’s guaranteed to make them addicted to the products inside! This kit contains the six best selling skincare products from Elemis, giving you everything you need for your daily skincare and bodycare  routine. It even contains a 15ml pot of Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream, which is possibly one of their most famous and beloved products of all time.

Evolve Organic Beauty Discovery Box: Radiance

If you’re looking for a present for someone in your life for whom organic, natural products are a passion then the Evolve Organic Beauty Discovery Box: Radiance is the perfect gift. It contains a face mask, a toner and a retinol booster, all of which are derived from organic natural oils and ingredients. It’s intended to brighten dull and tired skin, leaving it bright and luminous, and revealing your inner glow.

UpCircle The Birthday Bundle

While this kit may be called The Birthday Bundle, we still think it makes an amazing gift for Christmas. It contains five of the best sellers from UpCircle to create a sustainable skincare routine. Included is an organic face serum, a coffee oil, a facial toner with mandarin and chamomile, a coffee face scrub, a face mask with olive powder, a chocolate charcoal chai soap bar and a Fair Trade cotton bag for keeping it all safe and sound.

Did you know that pumpkins are packed with natural enzymes and acids which increase cell turnover so that skin is bright and smooth? Well they do, and the good news doesn’t stop there. This Halloween staple also contains antioxidant vitamin A and C which help soften and soothe skin and get ageing under control.

With all the said, let’s look at some of the products we sell on the site and see which ones you could use to get great skin before 31 October.

We absolutely adore the Elemis Superfood Facial Wash and for good reason! This gel cleanser is full of the nutrient-dense super greens you’d expect to find in a smoothie, but we don’t suggest drinking it! From the very first time you use this product, you are left with radiant skin and an outdoor-fresh glow that will look as if you’ve been for a brisk walk by the sea. Avocado, broccoli and pumpkin seed oil might usually be found in a hipster salad, but in this case, they have been combined with a natural pre-biotic to balance the skin’s microbiome and with wheatgrass, nettle and kale too, your complexion will look luminous and bright.

You might not be thinking about the sun when the witching hour approaches, but the Dermalogica Pure Light SPF 50 treats hyperpigmentation and keeps you safe from the UV light that can strike at any time of the year. It’s the pumpkin fruit ferment in this cream, that helps exfoliate away dead cells and eliminate dark spots cause by the sun. Red algae, seaweed and safflower seeds have all been added to the mix to create a product at we think you will love. Apply to cleansed and toned skin before you go outside and this will work well all year round and keep those Halloween vampires away.

For a vegan option, why not give the Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Booster a go? This plant-based concentrate formula is ideal if you want to have healthy, glowing skin all year round but won’t have you looking as orange as a pumpkin – do not worry. This is ideal for anyone whose skin is a little tired and needs a helping hand to look brighter and happier again. Pumpkin and cherry extracts, which are both rich in AHAs and enzymes, have been mixed with rice water and green tea seed oil and once you have given the bottle a shake, you are ready to smooth away the dullness and let the light in.

If you are looking for real results from your beauty products, look no further than the Dermalogica Rapid Reveal Peel. This maximum strength exfoliant contains acids and fermented plant enzymes to increase skin renewal and reveal new, firmer skin with reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Pumpkin together with rice bran, resurface and even out skin tone, while Australian caviar lime brightens skin so you are left with a more radiant, but still natural, complexion. With each packet containing 10 applications you have the right amount for perfect results each time you use this peel.

Having a daily skin routine is important, but sometimes we need an extra little boost to get our skin back to its best. Rather than going for expensive (and potentially painful!) non-invasive procedures, there are things you can use which can improve your skin dramatically in just five minutes – masks! We’ve trawled through our products to single out the best masks, and we thought we’d share our favourites with you:

Decleor Energy Concentrate Youth Mask

This mask is perfect for ageing skin which needs a boost and contains highly concentrated extracts of peony, lychee and rhodiola to re-energise the skin. It helps the skin to look firmer, plumper and younger and will imbue the skin with a luminous glow. It should be applied to the face once or twice a week after cleansing for best results.

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask

This powerful gel mask from Elemis helps to completely resurface the skin, giving it a refined texture and ridding your complexion of excess sebum. The skin appears instantly smoother, shine free and more youthful and it’s formulated in line with the ELEMIS Promise, which means no parabens, no SLES, mineral oil or artificial colours.

Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque

This mask from Dermalogica is based on bentonite clay and contains kaolin and zinc oxide, which that remove impurities and refine the skin’s surface, helping to reduce oily-skin breakouts. It also contains mallow, arnica and cucumber which help reduce to inflammation, as well as purifying watercress, lemon and ivy which revive dull skin.

Decleor Hydra Floral White Petal Skin Perfecting Hydrating Sleeping Mask

Okay, so this one may take more than five minutes to work, but TECHNICALLY you only need five minutes to apply it before you go to sleep, so we think it still counts! It’s a refining mask which reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation and allows you to wake up with skin which is recharged, bright, glowing and fresh like dew.

Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask

Skin which is over-sensitised and blemish-prone can really benefit from mask treatments and this one for Elemis is designed to soothe and repair such complexions. It contains rosemary, thyme and lavender, all in a kaolin clay base which is designed to give relief to skin, and cools and decongests oil rich skin. It’s non-setting and non-drying and also ideal for men who’s skin is irritated by shaving.
