Jessica Turner The beauty of skincare gift packs is that they double as handy travel companions: perfect for the summer holiday season.
As well as providing your customers with great ideas for presents (for themselves as well as others!), stocking up on retail gift packs is also a good way of trialling a new product range that you may then introduce into your salon, spa or clinic if it’s well received by clients.
You can test the water without making a major commitment. We look at options for the holiday season:
The set works to give skin a boost and the opulent packaging alone will lift spirits. HSR is a luxurious anti-ageing collection by German skincare and makeup brand, Babor. The trio work together to combat fine lines and deeper wrinkles, so this is suited to more mature skin. Ingredient wise, ‘relaxo’ peptide minimizes expression lines, and a neuro-receptor peptide reduces transepidermal moisture loss.
Thalgo – Radiance Discovery Story
Story-telling is central Thalgo’s holiday skincare sets this season. Offering a variety of 10 unique packs, the choice is simplified by its pretty packaging—products are encased in book-inspired boxes, that describe each packs’ narrative. There’s a set made specifically to combat dry skin, another made for men. As a perfect present, our pick is the radiance set for its universality. Who doesn’t want to glow?
This concentrated pair from Parisian skincare brand, Payot, is packed with value. Clients can snap up the cream and concentrate from the brands’ popular youth boosting duo for almost half the normal retail price. It’s suitable for all skin types, and is packed with plumping ingredients like hyaluronic acid plus pigmentation fighters like Vitamin C.
It’s time to twinkle! Our pick from Danne Montague King’s seasonal skincare offering is all about eyes. Housed in a handy gold cosmetics case, this trio is designed for ultimate peeper rejuvenation. Together they defend against dark circles, fine lines and puffiness.
Seasoned travellers with sensitive skin should look no further than this kit. The sizes are suitably small for the most minimal packer and but large enough to last the distance of a long haul holiday. They’re a perfect teaser to the Esse Sensitive range that is pro-biotic and 24 percent less irritating to sensitised skin than distilled water.
The Multi-fruit cleanser is a best seller from the EmerginC range of sustainable cosmeceuticals. Those who purchase it with along with a moisturiser of their choice can enjoy the toner and a cute makeup case on the house.
