It’s never too early or too late to shop something great for your mom this Mother’s day! I love me some good skincare products, and I am sure your mom would too. So, I put together the 15 best skincare gifts you can give to your mother, wife, partner, grandmother, aunts, sisters, co-workers, or even yourself, all in this post.

Being a mom with effortlessly healthy-looking skin is ideal for me, and I bet all moms out there would agree with this thought, even though it’s hard to achieve in real life. But you can do it by choosing and using the right skincare products that will help penetrate your skin and target specific concerns.
In this post, I choose fifteen clean skincare sets focusing on anti-ageing and hydrating that would help bring skin back to its youthful days.
I would use all of the items myself and give my mother on mother’s day and any occasions. The best part it’s starting at $26.
Products ranked by the most inexpensive to the high-priced!
Let’s get shopping, shall we?
ONE
I love cocokind products, and this set is a must to achieve soft and hydrated skin. The sake ofextract–Japanese fermented rice wine is rich in prebiotic sugars and enzymes to smooth and support the skin’s microbiome. Red clay, upcycled coffee grounds, and prebiotic chicory balance the skin microbiome and gently exfoliates skin to leave it soft and smooth.
This is one of the sets that you can visibly see the result after the first use. A trio to visibly firm, lift & reduce the look of wrinkles your mother would love to receive.
I have been a big fan of this product for over fifteen years, and I still LOVE it. This set would be a great gift set to add to any mom’s skincare collection. The pure and lightweight water formula decreases the appearance of spots, reduces wrinkles, refines skin texture, improves firmness and elasticity, and dramatically boosts radiance.
If you are into vegan skincare products but haven’t heard of any vegan collagen, it’s now the end of the search as this skincare set is the set you are looking for! Including serum, face mask, facial cleanser and body cream that your mother would appreciate this head to toe clean and vegan skincare gift set this Mother’s Day!
Give me some more vegan skincare goodies! This complete skincare routine takes care of all of your skin’s needs with clean and effective ingredients like their signature vegan probiotics, sourced from the highest mountains in Korea, and vitamin-rich prickly pear extract. Make your complexion glow on a whole new level!
Get smooth and plump skin from face to body with this clean and vegan skincare set by From Plants Beauty. If you are on a hunt for a plant-derived, non-chemical retinol alternative that will give your skin that natural glow, I recommend getting this set. My husband and I are using this set every day, and we can’t say enough how much we love all the products we formulated. Comes with a clear quartz roller and a 100% organic lightweight body oil. Anyone would love this clean skincare gift set!
I love this anti-ageing set a lot! With their well-known Squalane line in one set, you wouldn’t want to miss this valuable skincare treasure. It will make a perfect gift for any mom.
Smooth & firm the look of wrinkles with clean & clinically proven actives like retinol-alternatives, peptides & probiotic extracts. Your mom will thank you for that!
Your skin needs superfood too, and this skincare set is all about that! In this set, the Superfood Facial Oil is one of my favourite face oils-formulated with nine antioxidant-rich Superfoods to reveal a healthy-looking glow.
Love me some La Mer! This Mini Miracle Broth™ Glow Collection is packed with mini essentials of the label’s bestsellers; the limited-edition bunch harnesses the power of the brand’s sea-inspired Miracle Broth™ elixir.
Please take me back to South Korea for more Sulwhasoo shopping! My oh my, I love that they came out with a perfect gift set that will be your mother’s new favourite K-Beauty products.

This post is in collaboration with THIQUE Hair Care. As always, all opinions are my own.
I love that this year has been a self-care focused year for many people, including myself. I’ve never realized how important self-care was until a few years after having a family and a baby of my own. Normally, instead of taking care of myself I gave all of the care to my family, which is a good thing but not a great thing in a self-care perspective.
I used to feel that taking care of yourself before others was a behavior of selfishness. But when looking more closely at what exactly self-care can do to help you, it made me change my mind. I started practicing self-care because it helped me to achieve and become a better person inside and out.
Just to give you a quick example of why you need to incorporate self-care to your daily routine. If you don’t take care of your health, either physically or emotionally, you might end up in poorer health condition. How can you be capable of taking care of others? No one will be able to take care of you and know exactly what you want, like or dislike as good as you do. There’s no reason to not take care of yourself.
For me, because I love my family so much, I should pay more attention and take better care of myself before it’s too late. Even though I started to adopt self-care in my routine after I had a family, you don’t need to have a family to start taking care of yourself. You can start at the stage you are at and it doesn’t matter how old you are and what life situation you are in. All you need to do is to start with small steps at a time and know that you’re important, you need love and care just like other people who you want to give your love and care to.
If you say, you don’t have time to take care of yourself, well, I don’t blame you. But don’t get discouraged because in today’s post I put together the easiest way to start incorporating your self-care practice to your daily routine. They’re super simple and easy to follow. As I said in our topic today, self-care can start with your hair! Yes, you can start by taking good care of your hair. Here’s how.
Tip #1 Comb Your Hair Everyday
Combing your hair is a healthy habit to have and you should do it every night before going to bed. The reason why it’s a good habit is because combing can help increase blood circulation in the scalp, promote healthy hair and help to transport oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles. While combing your hair, the natural oils (sebum) that’s produced by sebaceous glands will be released which will help your hair look and feel shinier, and stronger. Combing also helps to get rid of dead skin cells, left over chemicals and old hair.
Be aware of excessive combing or brushing which may promote the excess sebum and make your scalp greasy.
Tip #2 Trim Your Hair
Trimming your hair can help remove split ends, damaged and broken hair. You can do it yourself once a month or every other month.
As you know that the end of your hair is the oldest part of your hair. To keep your hair looking healthy, you have to trim the damaged parts out. This will make your hair look and feel fuller and healthier afterwards.
Tip #3 Use Natural Ingredient Haircare Products
I’ve been hooked with natural haircare products for at least a few years now. I have noticed a significant change in the health of my hair after switching to the natural haircare lines.
I used to have hair loss and dry scalp problems but not anymore since I started paying attention to how I care for my hair.
During my pregnancy and now during my postpartum stage, my hair is still stronger and healthier than ever. Even my husband noticed that the other day that I don’t have any problems with my hair anymore.
With my first pregnancy I lost a lot of my hair like crazy both during and after the pregnancy. But this time around I figured out the ways to keeping my hair healthy which includes using natural ingredient haircare products. The brand I’m using right now is THIQUE Hair Care.
THIQUE Hair Care reached out to me last year and they wanted to get my honest opinions on their products. I said yes after doing some research and learned more about them in the process.
I love that their products are non-toxic, naturally based which features natural plant extracts and the purest essential oils. Their products are free of sulfates, parabens and gluten. Their products are hypoallergenic, vegan, safe for color-treated hair and not tested on animals.
I’m now using THIQUE Hair Care products (SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER, SCALP SERUM and VOLUMIZING MIST) for over a month now and I wanted to share with you what I thought about them.

AMAZONIAN COPAIBA OIL. Natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties nourish the scalp

CANADIAN WILLOW HERB. Soothes the scalp as it gently removes impurities
First impression: This shampoo has a lovely and light floral scent combined with a cool peppermint scent. It isn’t overpowering. The packaging is sleek and simple. Nothing is too complicated when it comes to using the product. The shampoo is in a clear gel form. It gives a good amount of foam once you apply onto wet hair. It’s very easy to rinse off the product. It also gives my hair a refreshing and very clean feeling.
Moisturize the hair without weighing it down. Get thicker, fuller looking hair while you stimulate and nourish the scalp to prepare hair for maximum volume.

First impression: This conditioner has a light natural scent combined with a cool peppermint scent to it. The conditioner is lightweight in a white gel-like form. I tend to use a lot more condition than the shampoo. I think it’s because of its lightweight that makes me feel that I don’t put enough of the conditioner on my hair. It’s very easy to rinse off and gives my hair a very clean and soft to the touch feeling. I can feel and notice that my hair gets fuller and thicker after only one use, which is amazing.
Stimulate the scalp while you exfoliate dead scalp skin cells to create ideal surface for maximum volume. It is a lightweight gel that works directly on the scalp, ideally applied before bedtime and allowed to work overnight.

First impression: I really like this product as it makes me feel like I give my hair extra attention and I’m providing it the nutrients it deserves. This serum smells pleasant. It comes in a clear gel form and in an easy to pump bottle. There’s no stickiness feeling when applying. The serum absorbs into my scalp very quickly. They recommend using it before bed, but I use it after every hair wash.
First impression: This hair mist smells very refreshing. It’s making me feel like I’m in a garden with fresh flowers. My hair looks fuller. I like the lightweight and non-stickiness of this mist. I feel like this product helps to lift up my roots all day.
Result after one month of using all of the products
I’m very satisfied with how THIQUE Hair Care shampoo, conditioner, serum and hair mist turned my hair and scalp to a healthier one. My hair loss problem is gone even though I’m now in a postpartum period. My hair is very shiny, feels fuller and looks thicker. I’m happy every time I use the products because I know that I’m treating my hair with plant based and natural ingredients.

“Invest in your hair it’s the crown you never take off.” – Unknown
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and all I’m thinking about are roses. I normally don’t like any specific type of flowers accept the one I really love, peonies. They are absolutely my fave.
Since Valentine’s Day is around the corner and the most famous flowers for this occasion is rose. I thought why not talk about a few rose beauty products that I’m currently loving and have enjoyed using them these day. I want to use this special occasion to share some rose-love with you.
Before I show you what are in my rose beauty and skincare collection, let’s talk about the benefits of rose for a little. You might already know that rose helps rejuvenate and replenish skin that’s why a lot of products on the market now incorporate rose as an ingredient.
Rose has antioxidants and antibacterial properties that can help regenerate skin tissue and heal scars. Rose water helps to hydrate, moisturize and maintain its PH balance in your skin. It also helps fight free radicals.
The scent of roses can also help lift up your emotion if you are feeling down.
Now, at my house we always pick up roses and I have realized that every time we have flowers around the house they really pick up everyone’s mood. I encourage you to have flowers around your place to make your space more lively and for your emotional wellbeing.
Those are some benefits of the rose. There are still more, just easily search on Google you will find a tons of them
By the way, at the end of this post, I’m announcing the winner of our #GOODVIBESGIFTING contest of January 2019. Check it out if you are one of the 6 winners who will receive a $25 Starbucks gift card and one surprise gift from me. 🙂
If you’re ready let’s get into my mini reviews on each of my favorite rose beauty and skincare products.
What I like about this mask is that it is so refreshing every time I use it. My skin turns out super soft and smooth. I love that the scent is not over powerful, it’s a beautiful rose scent. The texture of this mask is jelly-like and very easy to apply. No mess, no drip while using it.
The fun part of this mask is that you can refrigerate it and use it as an overnight mask as well. It’s one of my favorite face masks I tried recently.
I have a blog post about my favorite face masks for all concerns if you would like to check it out.
Pixi by Petra Rose Collection
I had a chance to try the whole rose collection of Pixi by Petra and have been loving these four products so far.
This rose oil, I’m on bottle number 3. I love how quick this oil absorb into skin. I don’t feel too oily after applying this oil on. This oil gives a healthy glow look to my skin and moistens up my skin very well. It has a light rose scent which I like because it’s good when layering more rose products on.
This essence caught my eyes because of the cuteness of the tube and the product’s texture. I wasn’t sure what it was at first but after trying it I’m super pleased with the results.
It’s super weightless and absorbs very fast into my skin. It feels like I’m applying water on my face, that’s how weightless it is.
This serum essence helps hydrate, refine and soften skin.
I have been using face tonic for quite sometime and this one is my new favorite. I guess I have to give credit to Pixi by Petra that came out with products that provide comfort to skin.
This tonic is very gentle and again quick to absorb into my skin just like the other products I mentioned earlier. The beauty benefits of this rose tonic is to help with skin tone improvement, brightening, moisturizing and color correction.
My acne scares and blemishes on my face are starting to clear out slowly after using this tonic for about 2 weeks.
I’m into face mists lately and this one is so divine even my husband likes to use it. It’s very soothing when spraying onto my face. It also helps moisturize and hydrate your skin.
It’s like you are spraying rose water on your face without the oily affect afterwards. If you’re looking for a glowy and to illuminate your skin, I do not recommend using this mist because you will only get a natural looking glow from this product.
What I like the most about face mist is that you can apply it anytime you’d like.
My oh mind! This highlighting luminous powder is so gorgeous! I’m absolutely in love with the rose design. It gives such a beautiful glow once you apply a small amount to the top of your cheekbones, center of your chin, bridge of your nose, and center of your forehead.
I love that I can use it dry or damp for an intense look. It doesn’t make my skin feel and look cakey at all.
I was afraid to use it at first because it’s too pretty and I did not want to ruin the beauty of it. But now I just can’t stop using this highlighter.
The only down side about this product is the high price point ($60), but it’s totally worthy it. 🙂
This perfume is giving me a sense of mature and proper. It’s a classic and elegant rose scent that represent more spiciness than sweetness of the typical rose perfumes.
I love it for a formal event or a romantic date night but not for a girls night out nor a family get together.
The price of this perfume is quite high ($235), so you have to make sure that you love it before deciding to purchase.
If you want a shimmery and glowing skin, you might want to give this body oil a try. It smells just like fresh roses but not over powering.
Not only do I love the glow about this product but I also love that it really helps to hydrate my skin and doesn’t make my skin feel super sticky nor oily.
Overall I really love this product and will be repurchasing it. I just wish that the price would be lower or the amount would be more for the body oil.
This roller is by far the cheapest one from a well-known brand I saw on the market not including the ones that you can buy from amazon.
I have been using face roller for over 6 months now and have been loving the feel and results it gives to my skin. I have different types of stones, white jade, black jade, amethyst (I broke it the other day!) and this rose quartz one.
What I love about them is that they are from nature, won’t harm your skin and have specific healing powers and meanings behind them.
For skin benefits, the stone helps depuff and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It supports blood circulation. I see my pores are getting smaller as well.
My husband and I are switching to an aluminum-free deodorants since last year and this one is our favorite.
It doesn’t smell like roses but it does smell pleasant. It doesn’t stain on cloths and it’s non-sticky which make us love using it. My underarm area feels very comfortable and dry all day.
If you are a first time user of a non aluminum deodorant, you might want to put it on every few hours just to make sure you won’t stink others! LOL! You will need sometime to adjust and let your body detox all the bad before your underarm area gets used to a chemical free product.
The one I have here is the Vanilla + Air for Creativity: awaken the mind and unleash your creative energy with violet, rose, and vanilla.
Those are all of my rose faves at the moment. If you’re looking to buy rose products for yourself or gifting it this Valentine’s Day, don’t hesitate to check some of this products out.
Feel free to share your current favorite skincare products with me in the comments. I’m looking to try something new! 🙂

I’m getting into another brand new clean beauty product last week and they are from a brand called Skylar. Since I got 6 bottles of clean, cruelty-free and vegan perfumes to try, I am so super in love with them.

With the scents being very light, you can layer them together to create your own perfect scent or to match it with your mood of the day. This is one of the fun things I like about these perfumes.
I have to let you know first that I’m still using my normal perfumes but after discovering this brand, I’m going to try to cut back on all of my usual and give Skylar‘s perfume an everyday go-to.
