So, here it is, The ultimate Christmas gift guide for all types!
The skin care enthusiast
This is someone who takes their skin care seriously,focusing on professional products to achieve and maintain optimum skin health. Serious skin care starts with a serious daily routine, followed religiously. Skin gift sets featuring a collection of skin care essentials from leading professional skin care brands are the ideal way to sample a new range and they make the perfect present that will be sure to impress.
The mature age optimist
This is someone who knows that regardless of their age they still need to take the best possible care of their complexion. Skin changes with age, therefore skin care regimes should transition accordingly. When it comes to skin care, we all want to 'turn back the hands of time' and keep our skin looking younger, longer. Give the gift of ageless beauty with one of the many anti-ageing skin care kits specially designed to target the visible signs of ageing.
The complexion perfection fanatic
This is someone who is obsessed with skin cleanliness and having perfect skin. The key to looking flawless, spotlessly clean and radiant is to use skin care products that stimulate the skin renewal process, which restores its youthful, healthy glow. Look for gift ideas that feature products to soften, nourish and rejuvenate the skin leaving it smoother, healthier and younger looking.
The men in your life
This could be your husband, dad, brother etc... Christmas is the perfect opportunity to help your guy care for his skin with an introduction to a basic skin care routine or maybe treat him to some useful products to get him looking and feeling great.
The makeup junkie
This person is an aficionado when it comes to cosmetics. They can't and won't live without makeup and are forever stockpiling their seemingly enormous collection. However, they constantly NEED more makeup, so it is only natural that they would be ever so grateful to receive any of the latest makeup sets as a Christmas present.
The stylish fashionista
This is a person with style and sophistication; they have a penchant for shopping and keeping up with the latest fashionable trends. They love anything that looks polished and classy; yes its all in the presentation. Just aim for any gift that looks a la mode and super sleek and they will be bound to love it.
The pamper princess
This girl loves pampering and likes to indulge in luxurious products, while often creating her own unique at home personal spa experience. She is usually easy to please, as long as it involves relaxation and pure pleasure then you can spoil her rotten with a range of luscious gift ideas.
The body connoisseurThis person is always seen slathering body lotion all over their arms and legs, massaging cream into their hands or spritzing themselves with their favourite fragrance. Variety is their spice of life and they are fixated with having their body in tiptop shape and keeping well groomed. Anything that they can use to polish their skin or keep it clean, silky smooth and hydrated with a natural, radiant glow is always more than welcome. There are various body care packs that you can present them at Christmas and I'm sure they will be eternally grateful.
Make sure you spoil your loved ones this year with a gift from The Facial Company. Don't forget that you can request 'gift wrapping' on all orders during checkout.
We would like to wish all of our customers a very Happy Christmas.

Infused with a powerful peptide called SYN-AKE, which mimics snake venom to provide an instant lift to the face, giving a mild freeze-like effect (similar to Botox), which also plumps fine lines and wrinkles. The blend of active ingredients boost cell turnover for a smoother, clearer more radiant complexion while delivering a 3D plumping effect to soften fine lines, wrinkles and imperfections. The powerful antioxidants protect against further damage and help to slow the signs of prematurely ageing skin to ensure a healthier, more youthful complexion.
Rodial Glam Balm is a luxurious, multi-tasking skin treatment that targets signs of premature ageing on the face, lips, neck and hands.
