Christmas is just around the merry corner. For some, this will be Christmas carols to your ears, while for others this will bring on the inevitable annual panic to the tune of; ‘what do I buy all the special people in my life!?’.
Well, if you are in the second camp, fear no more. While you could spend countless hours umming and ahhing over whether or not a Nicholas Sparks novel is an appropriate Christmas gift for the fourth year running, all you really need to know is that when it comes to the ultimate gift, healthy, glowing skin will always come out on top. Trends come and go, but taking care of your skin and how you do it will never go out of style.
So, that puts you on the right track, but when it comes to skin health, there is simply an overwhelming number of products and treatments on the market. Serums! Skin Treatments! Light up masks! It’s really hard to know where to begin. That’s why you need an expert, a skincare connoisseur if you will, someone to help you invest in what really works. And folks, it’s a Christmas miracle because that someone is at Caci.
At Caci, we are constantly scouting to find the very best the global stage has to offer in terms of skin health. If it’s worth knowing about, it will find its way onto our roster. So, we have already done (and been doing) the hard work for you, scouring the ends of the earth to bring you the most definitive gift guide to give your loved ones the ultimate gift this Christmas; the gift of glowing skin.
Why skin health is the ultimate gift
This might not be backed completely by science, but I am a true believer that almost anything in life can be solved with a good face mask. Okay, face mask is probably overly reductive, but a self-care night when you are feeling overwhelmed watching a whole season of Selling Sunset while donning your favourite mask is actually… therapeutic. Nothing will make me feel like I am steering the ship back on course than by conducting the ultimate self care evening.
There is definitely something to this on a broader scale too. When I am taking care of my skin, I feel more confident, which in turn makes me nicer to people, and then I have a more positive outlook on life as a result? Basically this is an incredibly convoluted way of saying that when it comes to taking care of your skin, it truly is life changing. The flow on effects from feeling confident are limitless, and you would be hard-pressed to find any other organ (yes your skin is an organ) that people notice more than the skin on your face. So, if you want to not only feel your best, but also improve your outlook on life, then yes, your skin is absolutely a worthwhile investment.
If you have someone in your life that is an undercover beauty-lover but might be tentative to make the investment in themselves, then consider giving them one of the following to give them a push in the right direction. The best part? If they don’t like them, you can easily regift (to yourself).
Caci gift voucher
Gift cards tend to divide the masses because I guess there is an element of why give a gift if you are just putting the onus back on them to make the ultimate decision. But to this I say, it’s like leading a horse to water AND making it drink. This is two fold; they might not have had the thought in the first place to go to the provider, or, they may have wanted to go all along but either a) didn’t want to make the monetary investment or b) didn’t get around to it. All of these problems are easily fixed with a simple push in the right direction and if they have the gift voucher in front of them, they then have all the tools needed to choose what they need lining their shelves, or slathered on their face. It’s like giving a gift with a little side quest.

Other great gifts for skin health

Skinsmiths LED Face Mask
Forget the regular spa trips, the Skinsmiths LED Mask brings the glow straight to them. Using red and near-infrared light therapy, this mask works wonders on smoothing fine lines, boosting collagen, and giving the skin a serious glow-up. It’s perfect for those moments when they just want to kick back and treat themselves. Whether it’s a Sunday night ritual or a midweek pick-me-up, this mask is a game-changer for anyone who loves a little pampering.
A really good SPF
No matter who you are, your life would be improved if you had a really fantastic SPF in your skincare arsenal. And what more can you wish for in a gift than to improve the recipient's life? Applying this logic, if you are completely at a loss as to what to get your loved one, choose from Caci’s lovingly selected range of sunscreens to brighten up their day, and, you know, potentially prolong their life.
DermaRoller
If the budget is a bit tighter this year the at home DermaRoller is for you. This is the ultimate at-home tool for those wanting to step up their at-home skincare game. It creates tiny micro-channels in your skin that help increase the absorption of active ingredients in your skincare. It gives your skin superpowers, like making it more bouncy, reducing the appearance of lines and making your pores less noticeable.
Murad Retinol Youth Eye Masks
Circling back to what we were saying about face masks fixing everything including maybe your life, well the Murad Retinol Youth Eye Masks are as close as you will get to a fix it all product. While eye masks might seem like they are an indulgence to the ultimate degree, they truly are essential when it comes to the pampering process. So give your loved ones the gifts they truly deserve, because everyone deserves to be pampered now and again.
These masks were created with skincare expert Dr. Zion Ko and deliver an instant boost of retinol to virtually erase lines, visibly firm and leave eyes looking ultra-refreshed. Murad’s Tri-Active Retinol technology practically has a cult following due to its fast-acting rapid results, and these masks do not hold back on giving you an ultimate boost and look ultra-refreshed.
Treat yourself this Christmas, too
We are all guilty of getting a bit side tracked during gift giving season but things that we ourselves would love to receive. Well, don’t feel guilty about it. Brazenly write to ‘me’ from ‘me’ on that little present sticker and have at it! Any of these gifts would double as an excellent treat yourself moment. So go on, give the gift of glowing skin this Christmas and see why great skin health is the ultimate timeless accessory.
