The “You Shouldn’t Have” BFF

We all have those friends in our life who have trouble accepting gifts. You want to spoil them, but you don’t want them stressing out for weeks feeling like you broke the bank on their gift. It’s a real thing. Receiving grandiose gifts can trigger anxiety for those who either aren’t big gift givers or who will feel obligated to break the bank in return. Here are some affordable gifts under $50 that everyone on your list will love.

Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Face Mist is SUCH a good gift. I’ve gifted it to several people and they’ve all loved it. I also use it myself and love this mist that features a base of coconut water with an infusion of rose extract, which moisturizes skin while hibiscus flower petals provide youth-boosting properties. The hydrating face mist refreshes skin and helps retain moisture with its high mucilage content. Rose extract offers great antioxidant protection, while witch hazel tightens the skin and minimizes inflammation.

I use this J-Beauty product TWICE A DAY EVERY DAY! It has taken my dry skin from drab to fab and now you can gift it for under $10!

Go for the glow this holiday season with the Golden Glow Set from DHC. This mini kit effectively removes all signs of makeup while gently ridding your pores of impurities.

Dripping in Diamonds from beautyblender is a limited-edition set that includes two beautyblender sponges to seamlessly apply your makeup without streaks and two solid beautyblender sponge cleansers housed in a gemstone-shaped case.

I’ve been a big Becca fan since the Jaclyn Hill collaboration a few years back. It is by far my favorite highlighter brand on the market. At this price point, you can gift a more luminous complexion with Becca Cosmetics Opal Glow on the Go Kit. Shimmering Skin Perfector Spotlight is a liquid highlighter that creates a natural and dewy effect. Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed is a powder highlighter that lets you achieve that glow from within look. Formulated with mica minerals, these travel-size products can be layered or worn alone to enhance your naturally beautiful features.

The Snow Bunny

This BFF lives in a cold climate, complains about the weather on Instagram stories and will do anything to combat dry skin to get that gorgeous Jennifer Lopez dewy glow (I may or may not be totally speaking from experience. I’m a California girl in a New York City winter, after all). These Dermstore products are perfect for your BFF who is always thirsty and never hydrated (until you gift them with thirst quenching gifts from Dermstore this holiday, that is).

The Dermstore Exclusive Scalp Kit from Oribe encourages a healthy scalp. With formulas that exfoliate, soothe and nourish, this exclusive kit gives your scalp the relief it craves.

I AM A HUGE CLEANSING OIL FAN! As someone who has VERY dry skin, I can confidently say cleansing oil has totally changed the way my skin looks, acts and feels. This one is so luxe. Erno Laszlo Hydra-Therapy Cleansing Oil instantly restores hydration as it cleanses skin. The moisturizing formula lifts away impurities and excess oil without stripping skin or leaving an oily residue behind. Each wash leaves your complexion softer, smoother and instantly refreshed.

Drench your skin with endless moisture with Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer. This concentrated, 30% hyaluronic acid cream transforms atmospheric vapor into fresh, pure water from the clouds, providing your skin with a continuous burst of intense hydration that lasts up to 72 hours. Oil-free, alcohol-free and fragrance-free.

These two products are some of my most tried and true, starting line up skincare favorites. If you want to see a transformation happen—these two will take you there. The packaging is also super chic, making it a sexy gift. Take care of some of your most pressing skin care needs in one fell swoop with Sunday Riley's Power Couple Kit. Boasting two fan favorites, Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment and Luna Sleeping Night Oil, this set has exfoliating and moisturizing ingredients that slough away dead skin cells while smoothing the appearance of fine lines.

Ok, I’m adding in this one because it’s truly what I want for Christmas. This product is unbelievable and a total savior for dry scalps. Relieve your dry, itchy scalp with Briogeo's Scalp Revival Charcoal + Tea Tree Scalp Treatment. Enriched with Binchotan charcoal, witch hazel and biotin, this nourishing formula strengthens your scalp, thus enabling healthy hair growth.

The Worry Wart

They’re responsible, always balancing their checkbook, multi-task like it’s their job (and it probably is tbh) and as hard as they try, always seem to stress the small things. Help your BFF keep all that stress from getting in the way of their skincare game with these items from Dermstore. Their clear skin and #nofilter selfies will thank you!

These Peter Thomas Roth Acne-Clear Invisible Dots are packed with a potent blend of comedone-fighting ingredients so that you can target treat right where you need it most to address clogged pores directly. In addition to expediting the healing process of the blemish itself, the dots keep bacteria from spreading to other pores, reducing the opportunity for more breakouts. Your blemish heals so quickly, it doesn't have as much of a chance to leave pigment marks and scarring. The result is clear skin that everyone craves—these are the perfect gift because everyone on your list is bound to put them to good use.

Treat your skin to the ultimate power kit with Skin Power from Dr. Dennis Gross—five best sellers to recover and renew the skin. The full size Ferulic + Retinol Triple Correction Eye Serum visibly firms, reduces the look of wrinkles and helps smooth the eyelid for a healthier-looking appearance. Continue your regimen with our C + Collagen™ Brighten & Firm Serum, C + Collagen™ Deep Cream, Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Overnight Serum and the Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel—giving you the power to feel fearless and confident in your own skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross Acne Solutions Clarifying Colloidal Sulfur features a kaolin clay base that draws out dirt, oil and other impurities without causing dryness or irritation. Powered by colloidal sulfur, this facial mask penetrates deep into your skin to neutralize acne-causing bacteria, while bentonite absorbs excess oil. Extracts of prickly pear, willowbark, rosemary and licorice root calm inflammation and minimize pores while vitamin A reduces future breakouts.

Jan Marini C-ESTA Face Serum containing DAE Complex is a readily absorbed liquid anti-aging treatment that enables dramatic rejuvenation for a smoother and more youthful-looking complexion. With continued use, skin becomes measurably firmer and more resilient. Facial contours appear tighter and more defined. Deeper lines appear far less pronounced, skin tones will even and the skin will appear noticeably younger and healthier. C-ESTA Serum is compatible with glycolic acid products, tretinoin other topical medications, moisturizers and makeup.

Acne, breakouts and blackheads don't pick favorites; they spread to whatever part of your body they feel like taking over. With all the acne treatments available out there, one would think that the options would fall outside the realm of just your face and address other parts as well. Enter Paula's Choice CLEAR Acne Body Spray. So long are the days of wondering if your acne medication will leave dark spots on your back or irritate neck because this product is made for those areas and everywhere in between. Conveniently packaged in a spray bottle for easy access to those hard-to-reach spots, this non-irritating treatment is formulated with 2% salicylic acid to combat acne fast and prevent non-visible breakouts from forming. It works by penetrating the pores to eliminate pimples, blackheads, bumps and virtually anything that falls under the acne umbrella. Alcohol and fragrance-free, this non-binding lightweight liquid dries on the skin within second, freeing you to spray and get dressed without worry.
