2023 Gift Guide: Skincare Gifts For Teens And Tweens

In need of beauty and skincare gift ideas for a trendy teen in your life? These products are sure to dazzle this holiday season and help them establish great skincare routines.

These lip masks are wonderfully nourishing during winter, and this kit comes with 5 cute and brightly colored minis you can take on the go. They feature 5 flavors—Berry, Gummy Bear, Sweet Candy, Mint Choco, & Mango—all of which smell amazing.

Tower 28 is one of the coolest beauty brands around, and their SOS Rescue Spray will make for a great gift for any skin care lover. This mist can be used night or day and serves as a toner that can reduce redness and prevent irritation.

Glow Recipe’s watermelon line of products is incredibly popular with the teen set, so they will adore a gift of the brand’s niacinamide dew drops. Part skincare, part makeup, this serum provides instant brightening and delivers that gorgeous natural glow. You can use it as a serum or primer.

An everyday cleanser is a must-have for any teenager looking to establish a good skincare routine, and this one from Bubble Skincare was specially formulated for oily and acne-prone skin (as many teens experience). Use it day and night, and display that adorable packaging on your vanity.

Pretty much anything from Drunk Elephant would make a teen giddy with excitement on Christmas morning, but my recommendation is their popular Bouncy Brightfacial™ leave-on mask. With ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide, this mask helps treat redness, spots, and uneven tone for a bright, even complexion.

This moisturizer is literally TikTok approved, so what more can you ask for!? It is also a great everyday moisturizer made without oil, which is great for teenage skin concerns. Plus the moisturizing gel cream comes in a picture-perfect pink bottle that is fully recyclable.

It is so important to encourage sun protection early on, and with an adorable collab like this, it won’t be hard to convince any teen to regularly rock that SPF. This kit from Supergoop! x LoveShackFancy includes 5 types of sunscreens, including Supergoop!’s popular Glowscreen, printed with a pink LoveShackFancy floral design. It all comes in an adorable LoveShackFancy clutch, plus some stickers to customize your Supergoop!

Starface Hydro-stars® + Big Yellow

While older crowds may be using transparent pimple patches to discretely treat their blemishes, teens and tweens love rocking these bold star patches. As much an accessory as they are a blemish treatment, Starface’s star-shaped hydrocolloid patches work to treat spots quickly, and they come in a cute yellow case that you can carry on-the-go.

Skincare does not stop at the face, which is why I love this body care set from Brazilian brand Sol De Janeiro. Not only do these products smell like a tropical paradise no matter the time of year, but they are nourishing and luxurious feeling on the skin.
