Valentine’s Day Gift Guide For Her

With Valentine's Day around the corner (and Galentine's too), it's time to increase the enjoyment. When sweet strawberries, flowers and fragrant oils make you swoon, we have the perfect gifts and treats for a special day of pampering – and we never skimp on luxury. These pampering skincare packages can be the ideal gift for her to celebrate the most intimate day of the year. Here is our guide to showering loved ones with attention this Valentine's Day.

Fall in love with these Valentine's Day favorites

Celebrate Valentine's Day by flaunting your most radiant and purest skin on this special day. We have some skincare pairings that go perfectly with each other and some custom products to give her for Valentine's Day.

A perfect couple

The first harmonious combination that we have is the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum and the Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil, a combination that creates soft, supple and dewy skin. The Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum provides the skin with intense moisture, while the Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil locks in moisture. Formulated with botanical hyaluronic acid, the serum deeply moisturizes and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Strawberry, which contains salicylic acid, acts as a gentle exfoliant to lighten the appearance of the skin, while rhubarb also minimizes the appearance of wrinkles. The Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil contains pink tourmaline gemstones and camellia oil to revitalize and rejuvenate the complexion and make the complexion appear soft and supple. This oil simply melts into your skin and provides deep, regenerating moisture.

The next pairing improves your skin from head to toe. The Mangosteen Body Lotion and Apricot Body Oil both provide a portion of moisture. Add a few drops of our apricot body oil for an aromatic, moisturizing treatment that will leave your skin irresistibly soft and smooth. When you're done, apply the aromatic Mangosteen Body Lotion. This formula contains mangosteen, which is rich in antioxidants to help minimize the appearance of environmental stress while promoting your natural look.

Fruity aromas in skin care

Get ready for a romantic date by indulging in the skin-friendly benefits of something that smells delicious. Or maybe you want to give a luxurious skin care gift to someone special! First, you'll want to start with a cleanser like Wildflower Cleansing Balm, which is designed to keep your skin hydrated and well-groomed without stripping off natural oils. Elder flowers protect the skin from the visible signs of aging, while poppy seed oil, linden blossom and cornflower are high in essential fatty acids and help remove excess oil and leave the skin looking soothed.

Another fruity treat for them is the Wild Plum Eye Cream, which thanks to the iron-rich wild plum reduces dark circles around the eyes. It also contains evening primrose, shea butter, and marigold extract to help moisturize and repair that delicate area around the eyes.

Complete this combination with the fragrant Apricot Calendula Nourishing Cream, which regenerates the skin and gives it its velvety appearance.

Perfect your pout

Surprise your sweetheart with irresistible kiss lips. Our seductive Cinnamon Kiss Lip Plumper is a favorite that is guaranteed to give you a perfect pout. Spicy cinnamon oil invigorates and revitalizes the lip area and immediately reveals fuller and plumper-looking lips.

actress Kristen Bell raves about our Cinnamon Kiss Lip Plumper and says: “Every time I wear this, I get compliments on my lips. Every. Single. Time. It makes my lips visibly fuller, it brings out the natural color, it doesn't feel too sticky like similar products, and it tastes like a cinnamon stick. Eminence is also passionate about using natural, organic and biodynamic ingredients. It's a Dream."

If you're more interested in a lip balm that offers SPF protection to prevent sun damage, or you're worried about chapped lips, try the rose hip lemongrass lip balm with SPF 15. There won't be any dry hickey here! Rosehip oil soothes dryness and lavender gives the lips suppleness and fullness. Formulated with zinc oxide and its natural sun protection, this lip balm is the best lip balm for all year round, whether you're snowboarding on the slopes or on the beach.

Smooth your skin

Who doesn't love to relax with a mask on Valentine's Day? Take your love to the next level with our decadent Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque. Enriched with skin-smoothing cocoa, emollient macadamia nut oil and nourishing almond oil, this deeply moisturizing mask leaves a delicious scent and an exquisitely soft and supple complexion.

Perhaps guilt-free fruits will pique your interest more. Another pampering mask is the Firm Skin Acai Masque, which nourishes the complexion with a delicious combination of acai, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry to improve the complexion. This mask also contains a BioComplex, a booster of antioxidants, coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid to help prevent wrinkles from appearing, as well as a botanical hyaluronic acid that plumps up and moisturizes your complexion.

Father’s Day: Skin Care Gift Ideas For 3 Types of Dads

This June we celebrate fathers – the men who have an important impact on our lives. Whether the man you look up to is your father, husband, father figure or even your grandfather – everyone deserves the best on Father's Day.

Instead of buying him a stereotypical set of golf clubs, ties, or shaving sets this year, why not give dad the gift of healthy skin? Every father is unique. Here you can see three types of fathers and our selection Eminence Organics Products that are tailored to his lifestyle.

1. The outdoor father

The outdoor dad is always ready for adventure. You will find that he cycles, hikes, works in the garden or does everything that requires a healthy dose of fresh air. Although outdoor dads are generally physically fit, their skin condition could tell a different story. Constant contact with the elements – such as sun, wind, water or snow – can make the skin dry, weathered and often damaged by the sun. Eminence Organics Rosehip and Lemongrass Soothing Hydrator

To protect against UV radiation, a sun care product like our Lilikoi Mineral Defense Sport Sun Protection SPF 30 is essential for these fathers. After a day outdoors, our soothing rose hip and lemongrass hydrator for the face and body is another must to restore and replenish the skin. This lightweight moisturizer contains a natural repair complex to hydrate, repair and reduce redness caused by dryness, especially after being exposed to the elements.

2. The career father

The career father is a busy man. You will find that he rushes to his next meeting, defying the rush hour traffic, and spending a lot of time traveling from one airport to the next. These fathers are generally not nonsense, and they look for convenience and quality when it comes to their technical devices and even their skin care needs.

A few dark circles around his eyes are just a normal part of life as he reconciles family life with early morning workouts and late evening meetings. To combat tired, swollen eyes, we recommend our soothing cucumber eye gel. Our Bright Skin Starter Set helps you with skin care on the go. This set is packed in a practical travel bag and offers comprehensive skin care (detergent, moisturizer, mask and serum) that fits perfectly in your father's case.

3. The relaxed father

The relaxed father is a relaxed, uncomplicated guy. He enjoys staying close to home and spending time with his family, walking the dog, watching the game or reading a good book. Most laid-back dads prefer a BBQ with a few close friends over a fancy dinner, and they definitely want to keep things simple when it comes to skin care.

When we think of products for relaxed fathers, we think of convenience and simplicity. Some of our multitasking products such as our Citrus Exfoliating Wash and our 3-in-1 cleaning water for rice milk are perfect for caring for a carefree father. For example, our Citrus Exfoliating Wash exfoliates and cleanses gently to normally oily skin in one easy step. Fresh lime juice removes impurities, while grapefruit seeds and silica make the skin appear radiantly clear. Our 3-in-1 cleaning water for rice milk is even less maintenance because it can be rinsed off or left on. This product cleanses and tones in one step, which provides the skin with moisture, minimizes the pores and minimizes the occurrence of skin aging. Eminence Organics rice milk 3 in 1 cleaning water
