Reading Time: 3 minutesShopping for holiday gifts can be stressful. There’s the hassle of navigating large crowds and long lines at the stores as well as the pressure of picking something the recipient will actually like.
If your loved ones are just as likely to wrinkle up with the holiday stress as you are, perhaps the gift of smoother skin would be just the treat. Not only do skin-care products make excellent presents—especially in the wintertime, when everyone can use an extra boost in hydration—but they also offer the recipient an opportunity to indulge in a little more self-care during a particularly busy time of year.
