Treat The Millennials In Your Life To These Christmas Skincare Gifts
When it comes to gift ideas for millennials, research has revealed that generation Y spend twice as much as Baby Boomers on self-care; so top of the millennial Christmas gifts list has to be skincare...
The key skincare concern for millennials, like many of us, is ageing. More specifically, as we reach our mid-twenties, we begin to produce 1% less collagen each year. Whilst we can’t control some factors, such as age and genetics, we can take a collagen supplements such as Proto-col Collagen Cordial and encourage collagen production by using treatments such as Proto-col Collagen Face Mask. Both products would be great gifts for millennials.
By the late twenties, it’s common for the skin’s natural exfoliation process to have decreased by 28%, causing the skin to look duller, feel dryer, and show further signs of ageing. Fine line and wrinkles may have started to become visible and the skin may have begun to display signs of loss of volume.
Gift Tip 1: Hyaluronic Acid
Now is definitely the time to start using a good hyaluronic acid product, such as La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum, which is recommended by Vogue and is the perfect product to give as a millennial gift. And one product that will always top the charts when it comes to best gifts for millennials is retinol as the early thirties is the time to start using this powerhouse active, to help with fine lines and skin firmness.
Gift Tip 2: Plant-Based Ingredients
When selecting gifts for millennials, look towards plant-based skincare where possible as research has shown that 72% of generation Y prefer beauty and personal care products that are made using natural or organic ingredients and that are sourced and manufactured following ethical and environmental standards. Votary, who Vogue listed as one of five plant powered-brand taking sustainability seriously, and are 100% vegan, would be great to give as a millennial gift. Innovative biotech-led, and 10th Anniversary Beauty Shortlist & Wellbeing Awards finalist Codex Beauty Labs are also high on the list of great skincare gifts for millennials.
