La Prairie eye cream

Give that really special someone something to wow them, like La Prairie’s Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream (HK$3,150). For those trying to get rid of eyebags, this is the key. With its strong effects in treating the signs of ageing around the eyes – fine lines, wrinkles, dark under-eye circles, loss of firmness and dryness – the Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream improves the skin’s health and elasticity. Expect to see results in two weeks.

In celebration of the holiday season, La Prairie also offers an option to customise your gift by choosing a serum, an eye cream and a moisturiser from any of La Prairie’s luxury collections – Platinum Rare, Skin Caviar, White Caviar and Radiance. Visit La Prairie now to start your creation.

Angela Caglia face roller

When it comes to the holidays, self-care is definitely a priority. So celebrity facialist Angela Caglia‘s La Vie en Rose face roller (HK$510) is a great gift for your besties because it encourages them to work on their skin even more and get that “Hollywood glow”. This face roller is easy to use and carry, too. Simply apply any serums with the tool to reduce dark circles and puffiness. Head to Lane Crawford for this affordable and sweet gift.

Dr Barbra Sturm brightening products

Recently, German skincare scientist Dr Barbara Sturm just introduced her new Brightening Line, which includes the Brightening Food, Brightening Serum, Brightening Face Lotion and Brightening Face Cream, all of which aim to heal pigmentation issues from the inside out. Supplements are also a great way to achieve beauty, so think about gifting Brightening Food this year. One of its most powerful ingredients, purslane, immediately reduces the visible signs of irritation and nourishes the skin. To purchase yours, head to Joyce Beauty now.

“I invented Brightening Food as a core product in my Brightening Line, applying cutting-edge ingredient science to address this serious concern from the inside out”
