LAUREL’S FAVORITE HOLIDAY GIFTS

Skincare is a personal and intimate gift. It can be challenging to choose the unique gift of skincare for those that you love, for that reason I have put together a gifting guide that I use for my own loved ones. I hope you find it helpful and that you also find the perfect gift for each unique loved one on your holiday list! All of us at Laurel Skin wish you a happy holiday season and a bright new year.

Forest Bath: For THE ONE WHO PREFERS THE WILD: The closest to Forest Bathing you can be without being inside the forest. Distilled from fallen limbs and other reciprocal harvesting methods, this limited-edition Single Farm Hydrosol blend is truly magic. Coastal Redwoods, Cypress, Cedar, Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine are blended with a softening of Sandalwood and a lift of Rosemary. You can smell and feel every branch, leaf, needle and cone. We all know someone who is obsessed with the woods (maybe it’s you), they would rather be outside than inside, they feel at home and alive in the wild, this is for them. If you are a lover of lush green, damp earth, fresh moss and crisp air, I would love to know what you think of this blend.

Recovery Balm: For EVERYONE: This crowd-pleaser is good for all genders and ages. In the winter, it provides extra barrier protection for cold and dry climates, and in the summer use it for healing scars, cuts, scrapes or burns. This is ideal for parents to keep on hand for everything from diaper rash to bee stings, and it is my go-to gift for that loved one who has ‘tried everything’ for chronic skin issues like eczema or extreme dryness.

Spiritual Warrior : For your MINDFUL FRIEND : This is a gift for your friend who meditates, does shadow work, or attends silent retreats. It’s for your friend who is trying to live life at the highest vibration. Spiritual Warrior was created to accompany people on their spiritual path, to be a companion to those who are just beginning their awakening, and for those with seasoned consciousness. We love to pair this with Forest Bath as a mindful gift for meditation or even a busy office desk.

California Body Oil : For your NATURE + TRAVEL LOVING FRIEND : This unisex scented body oil takes you through the Northern Coastal Redwoods and Pines, down the California Coast through Rose gardens and Almond orchards, and on to Southern California where the Citrus grows! It includes gemstone essences to encourage complete self acceptance. Essential Oils of Vetiver, Cedarwood, Pine, and White Rose will transport you directly to our home state. This blend also includes Tamanu Oil, Raspberry, and Rosehip for healthy skin.

Lip Treatments : For EVERYONE : These stocking stuffers fly out of our Barn doors during the holiday season.  Available in Lavender and Citrus Spice, and loved by all ages and genders.

Lavender Single Farm Hydrosol: For YOUR BEST FRIEND: This is not the Lavender of your grandmothers time. We all may love that classic lavender sting but this is just not that. At all. Single Farm Hydrosols are something else entirely and come with completely different aromatic notes and benefits. Smelling of gentle florals with a hint of warm honey, fresh grasses and soft petals, Lavender Single Farm Hydrosol gives the skin medicinal properties that rapidly rehydrate and soothe. When Lavender is distilled in this way, we all receive the soft nuance of the whole plant, rich in compounds that soothe the nervous system and sit with the spirit during times of stress. This hydrosol is for everyone but, it’s an exceptionally special gift for someone you care about deeply.

Travel Sets : For your SKINCARE LOVING FRIEND : You know the friend that is always telling you how great your skin looks, but hasn’t yet tried our products? Well, this is the best way to introduce them to our line. It includes 3 travel-size products and 2 samples in a gray travel pouch. Our best selling Travel Set is our Revive + Replenish, which is suitable for most skin types.

Full Sets : For your SIGNIFICANT OTHER : I mean lets be honest – this luxuriously crafted skin ritual is for the person in your life who you know is expecting to receive Laurel Skin products from you during the holidays.  You probably have a list of exactly what they are seeking, but just in case you don’t, this would be my own gift of choice!

There you have it— my top holiday picks for you! Please reach out to our customer care team at the Barn if you need any more help deciding what might be right for your loved ones!
