This Mother’s Day Skincare gift guide is the perfect idea if you are wanting to do something unique and special for your mom, sister, friend, aunt, or anyone woman in your life.
I didn’t have plans for this in my editorial calendar, but I had several friends text me this past month asking for skincare recommendations for their moms.
Another friend told me she wanted to get skincare products for her mom and sister for a Mother’s Day gift.
I thought that was such a nice idea!

I have several discount codes you can use! For any Good Science Beauty Code, use code chemistrycachet30 at checkout for 30% off! For any FRE product, you can use code alexisroch at checkout for a great discount.
GSB Firming Face Cream
GSB always makes a nice gift for people. I have gifted friends and my mom GSB creams before because they are so nice and unique. The firming face cream (discount code chemistrycachet30) is great for aging skin, promoting elasticity and more. You can learn how it works in this post!
Clean, SPF 30 Moisturizer
If you have a mom who loves to be outside or is a daily sunscreen user, this is a great gift (discount code alexisroch)! By the way, FRE is having a Mother’s Day Sale with buy one, get one free using my discount code alexisroch. Add two items to the cart, get one for free! Great time to stock up on things you love and also get gifts. FRE actually just relaunched this product to be 100% clean, and it is a mineral based sunscreen, so no chemical sunscreen. Here are some other science-based highlights that make this a very special product:
-
Non-nano zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum SPF30 mineral sun protection.
-
Argania Active Complex protects and repairs skin from sun damage and premature aging while restoring hydration.
-
Tocopherol, a form of Vitamin E, protects the skin from free radicals plus soothes and nourishes, leaving your skin protected and hydrated.
-
NO added synthetic fragrance. PROTECT ME’s fresh natural scent comes from essential oils.
I Am Joy Toner
If your mom loves roses or flowers, this rosewater toning spray (discount code alexisroch at checkout for buy on get one free, make sure to add two products to the cart) is perfect! I give this as gifts to my friends too because it is such a refreshing, clean and wonderful smelling spray. This is to refresh your skin during the summer months, but it also preps your skin to use before serums. After washing your face, spray this all over and let it dry. Then use your other skincare products as you normally would.
Plant-Based Anti-Aging Serum
If you would like to get an individual product instead, I highly recommend this product (discount code alexisroch at checkout for buy one get one free) for Mothers! I have had several friends and readers purchase this for their moms too, and they love it! My friend said her mom was so touched by this product for Christmas and really enjoys it. It is a clean, plant-based serum that works like a retinol, but more gentle on the skin. You won’t experience red or flaking skin with this product unlike a retinol. Check out this blog post we did on this last year for more information on how it works. This is the product I am getting for my mom 🙂
Elemis Plumping Pillow Facial
If you want a super luxrious overnight plumping mask, I really love this one. It is a splurge, but this lasts for many months. It has a wonderful scent and it is a very special product to give as a gift. This was featured three years ago in our blog posts about overnight face masks.
Watermelon Glo Night Treatment
This is such a nice, summery, delicious smelling overnight treatment. It has been one of my favorites over the years. The packaging is so pretty too. It makes a very nice gift. If you like watermelon skincare, we have more in this post for you to check out.
Rosebud Salve
This old-fashioned rosebud salve is a fun and perfect gift edition as well. If your mom is a minimalist for skincare or loves old-fashioned products, this is a nice idea for her! It can be used anywhere on the skin!
Firming Serum
I love this lightweight firming serum (discount code alexisroch for buy one get one free)too! I also got this for my mom. You put this one after applying any serums before your moisturizer. It is fantastic for dry, aging skin! It firms, hydrates, and has the best scent.
Why These Products For a Mother’s Day Skincare Gift Guide?
I hand selected these products for several friends over the past year specifically for their moms 🙂 I had such a great feedback from them, I thought a blog post about this would be great to share with you too. These products are specifically picked for aging skin, tightening, brightening, and pleasant smells. Perfect products for moms to enjoy!
These are all tested and researched by me!
Another thing about all these products is they have been featured on my website which means I have personally tested and researched each product! These are effective, science-based items I have used and loved for many years. So, you can choose any on this list for your mom and you will know it is something beneficial!
