Spring’s 7 best beauty gifts for mom

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to indulge the special moms in our lives with gifts that celebrate beauty and self-care. This spring, why not make her feel extra cherished with a selection of pampering beauty essentials? From luxurious skincare devices that promise salon-quality results at home, to soothing creams that rejuvenate the skin, our curated list of beauty gifts is designed to spoil and delight.

Whether you’re looking to impress with the latest beauty gadgets or gift a classic skincare treat, we’ve got you covered. Dive into our guide to discover the top beauty gifts for Mom this season, and make her day unforgettable.

Lavender indulgence for skin

I’ve talked about the Ancient Greek Remedy brand before — I use these products daily and they are lifesaving in the dry New Mexico climate. They also have an amazing, spa-like lavender scent.

This affordable gift set, available on Amazon, includes all-natural, climate-friendly, vegan moisturizers, soaps, and cold-pressed oils. I’ll vouch for the quality, but you’re also protected by a satisfaction guarantee. If Mom doesn’t like the set, send an email and get your money back — no return required.

Splurgy, trendy device

In case you have ample budget to wow Mom, the Droplette microinfusion device will earn you daughter-of-the-year status. The in-demand Droplette device creates a micro-mist from skincare serums, which it pushes onto your skin at velocity. As a result, your skin absorbs those high-powered ingredients much deeper, to a level where they’re far more effective.

The Droplette only works with its own serums, so you’ll want to invest in a starter kit that includes serum. The collagen filler serum is a popular choice, but you can also get formulas for anti-aging, hyper pigmentation, lip plumping, wrinkle care, and blemishes.  

Most of the serum refills are $50 for 12 applications or $100 for 30 applications.

The cold roller

Cryo sticks and cryo rollers are also trending in the beauty gadget space. These are cold massage tools you keep in the freezer. When Mom needs a quick, temporary facelift, she runs the cold device gently over her face. The cold touch contracts the blood vessels in her skin — which reduces wrinkles, improves skin texture, and delivers a healthy glow.

The immediate benefits of cryo massage are temporary, but continued use improves circulation in the skin. And better circulation can counter the signs of aging skin over time.

Look for cryo sticks with an ergonomic design and a large, curved surface area.

Barrier cream

We know about moisturizers, cleansers, toners, and sun protection, but there’s a new skincare step in town. It’s called barrier cream. While moisturizers hydrate skin from the outside, barrier cream draws moisture in and shields your skin from harmful external irritants.

Barrier creams can also restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier. A damaged moisture barrier is a common cause for sensitive skin.

Real Barrier Extreme Cream is a Korean product that contains a patented Omega Ceramide, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to plump skin and lock in moisture. Amazon shoppers rave about this cream for dry, damaged skin.

Ingestible beauty

A beauty supplement is another fun gift for mom — and probably something she wouldn’t invest in for herself. You have many options in this category, from collagen to Zinc. But the one that’s trending now is bovine colostrum.

Bovine colostrum is the fluid cows produce after giving birth, before their milk comes in. It’s packed with nutrients to help baby calves fight disease and develop properly.

Some research suggests colostrum has a range of benefits for human health, too.

Since I can’t resist a trendy superfood, I’ve been taking ARMRA’s colostrum supplement for three months. Here’s what I can report anecdotally: I feel great, my hair is growing like crazy, and — this is a weird one — I’m noticeably less moody and crampy around that time of the month. Coincidence? Maybe. But for me, this supplement is worth the expense. My husband takes it too.

FWIW, colostrum is also available in topical skincare products. If eating colostrum sounds odd, find mom a colostrum-powered serum.

Ocean-infused bath

Sea veggies like algae, seaweed, and kelp are becoming increasingly popular as skincare saviors. Loaded with nutrients, these ocean plants are thought to have brightening, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties.

You can pick up an algae- or seaweed-infused cream or serum as a Mother’s Day gift — but how about a whole-body treatment?

Premier Research Labs’ Medi-Body Bath contains sea salt, red algae, seaweed, minerals, clay, and essential oils, for an indulgent, purifying bath experience. For a nice pick-me-up, Mom can mix 2 cups of the salt-based formula into her bath and enjoy a 20-minute soak.

Budget microinfusion device

Microinfusion combines microneedling with a powerful skincare serum. The needling causes tiny injuries to your skin, which has two nice outcomes. One, it promotes collagen production as part of the healing process. And two, it enables better absorption of product from the outside.

To set Mom up for this beauty-enhancing treatment, treat her to a budget-friendly microneedling stamp plus an anti-aging serum.
