As Mother’s Day draws near, our thoughts gravitate towards the women who have played such an integral role in our lives. The most important person in the world, she doesn’t come in a one-size-fits-all package: Mom is always unique. It’s for this reason that we celebrate the diversity of moms and mother figures everywhere on this special day, honoring their individuality and unique beauty. To help you find the perfect gift to show your appreciation, I’ve put together a Mother’s Day gift guide that celebrates a variety of different moms and their specific skin care needs and skin types.
For Sensitive Skin | Dry Skin | Normal Skin | Oily Skin | Combination Skin
Sensitive Skin Type
Thinking about the special requirements of sensitive skin, I’m reminded of my mom, Vangie. C.’s, approach: “Because I don’t get a lot of time to myself, I reserve Sunday evenings to apply the Kombucha Microbiome Leave-On Masque – a real time-saver as I don’t need to rinse it off!” Unlike most other facial masks on the market, this unique mask offers a no-rinse formula that you can leave on to improve hydration and keep the skin looking renewed and vibrant.
If your mom is also focused on dealing with dryness as well as sensitive skin, she may prefer the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist. This toner offers gentle yet powerful hydration for a more youthful-looking appearance. Speaking of dryness — there is a difference between having dry patches on your face versus having a dry skin type. If your mom has dry skin, keep reading to find out which skin care products will suit her the most.
Dry Skin Type
If your mom’s skin seems to be lacking moisture, evidenced by flakiness and cracks, or if she frequently applies moisturizer to soothe her skin, these could be signs that she has dry skin. Dry skin sufferers can fight back against the signs of aging (and worry lines caused by teen and adult children!) with treatments like the Monoi Age Corrective Exfoliating Cleanser, Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil and Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer.
The Monoi Age Corrective Exfoliating Cleanser expertly removes surface debris, leaving skin visibly clearer and more radiant. Infused with exotic monoi oil and a Natural Retinol Alternative, it not only cleanses but also imparts a smoother, more lifted appearance to the skin. Perfect for those with dry skin, its rich monoi oil content deeply hydrates, enhancing the look of dry areas and promoting a healthier, more youthful-looking complexion.
Another favorite among our products is the Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil. Our Digital Copywriter, Libby Wright’s mother, Jane S., is particularly fond of it. She remarks, “My dry skin drinks up the luxurious Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil, it leaves my complexion so hydrated and plump! It’s such a treat for my skin, even my grandkids have noticed the difference since I started using it!” Our Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil is bursting with potent antioxidants and nutrient-rich botanicals to rejuvenate the look of the skin. Our unique blend of rosehip oil and vitamins C and E helps to improve the skin’s moisture, tone and texture while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
If your mom aims to enhance the firmness and lift of her skin, the Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer is an excellent choice. Its powerful blend of coconut, shea butter, grape seed oil and swiss green apples offers a noticeable tightening effect.
Normal Skin Type
Normal skin, typically balanced and free from extreme dryness, oiliness or particular skin problems, finds an ideal match in the Stone Crop Gel Wash, Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant and Bamboo Firming Fluid. Your mom can keep her skin looking and feeling healthy by using the Stone Crop Gel Wash. This cleanser is great for washing away impurities and it also helps to reduce the visibility of blemishes, leaving the skin looking refreshed.
She may also enjoy the Bamboo Firming Fluid as it contains bamboo and a Natural Retinol Alternative to smooth the look of wrinkles and tighten the look of the skin. Or if she prefers a fruitier option, the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant is a fantastic choice. This popular rice flour-based exfoliant not only absorbs excess oil but also gently removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and more luminous complexion.
Oily Skin Type
Does your mom’s skin often appear shiny or feel greasy? This might indicate that she has oily skin. Your mom may wish to try a face wash designed for blemish-prone skin like Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser, which will help mattify the appearance of her skin. This cream-gel cleanser is formulated for oily and problematic skin, using cucumber and tea tree oil to address the look of blemishes. It includes sweet almond milk and yogurt, which help minimize the appearance of breakouts while ensuring the skin remains hydrated.
The Clear Skin Probiotic Masque is also a great choice for managing oily skin. Infused with soothing cucumber and refining yogurt, this mask works wonders in maintaining a radiant complexion and keeping blemishes at bay. If your mom prefers moisturizers, she will love the Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer, which is designed to reduce the look of blemishes and acne, while also leaving the skin feeling softer and smoother.
Combination Skin Type
If your mom is dealing with combination skin, she might notice areas of both oiliness and dryness on her face. Commonly, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) might be oily, while the cheeks remain dry. This skin type requires a careful balance in skin care — something that addresses both aspects without overdoing it. For those with combination skin, our Eight Greens Phyto Masque — Hot is an excellent addition designed to invigorate and rejuvenate the skin. This unique formula, enriched with Biocomplex2™, a powerful blend of antioxidants, helps restore skin’s radiance, vitality and strength, making it a superb choice for balancing and energizing combination skin.
If skin that feels plumped and refreshed is on your mom’s wish list, she should try the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Hydrator. This vegan gel cream revitalizes lackluster skin with its fresh, dewy effect. Its light texture blends our unique Botanical Hyaluronic Acid Complex with panthenol, strawberry and rhubarb to lock in moisture for a radiant-looking complexion.
Lastly, the Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser uses a Lactic Acid Complex and mangosteen to restore a smooth, luminous-looking complexion. Mangosteen is a superfruit that reveals natural radiance while antioxidants diminish visible signs of aging. Its unique milky gel formula gently lathers, effectively removing dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing or excessive stripping of natural oils. Infused with a Lactic Acid Complex and mangosteen, it works harmoniously to smooth and brighten the complexion, restoring its natural radiance.
