Stumped on what to buy your loved one - whether your date, wife, sister, aunt, daughter, bestie or grandma (or your uncle, brother or dad)?

You're probably overwhelmed by the wide selection - from gorgeous jackets, stylish fashion accessories and glamorous custom jewelry to trendy ‘athleisure essentials’.

The good news is that finding a great gift doesn't have to be a hassle or cost a fortune. A cool present can be simple, small and inexpensive - it just needs to be thoughtful and perhaps find something that shows a token of love and appreciation. 

Why is (Korean) skin care a great gift for everyone?

Skincare is an absolute no-fail gift because it's something of a basic need for everyone - a hard-working student in their 20s or 30s who doesn't want anything for a special occasion, or your boss in their 50s who seems to have everything already so you don't know what to buy them.

Whether you're picking out the perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, or other celebration, facial skin care products are a wonderful gift that anyone would be happy to receive.

If you’re looking to step up your gift giving game with something more unique and special, Korean skin care is one of the hottest trends among beauty lovers and is recommended by many celebrities and professionals.

Are you a newbie to K-beauty and don't know where to start? Don't fret, we've found you the ideal gifts for literally anyone - no matter your budget or who's on your list and what skin type they are.

Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner acne oily skin k beauty world

This exfoliating toner from Some By Mi is skin-friendly formulation with a pH of 5.5, making it a great deal for everyone on the list, especially those with troubled skin or a tired-looking complexion.

We all know how important exfoliation is in our beauty regimen, and this chemical peel contains all of our favorite exfoliating acids—AHA, BHA and PHA.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are water soluble and work on the surface of the skin to slough off dead skin cells and improve uneven skin texture, tone, and firmness.

Beta hydroxy acid (BHA), on the other hand, is oil soluble and works on the outer layer of the skin as well as deep within the pores; eliminating blackheads, whiteheads and excess sebum. Polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) are similar to AHAs in function, but are gentler and have a moisturizing effect.

Formulated with 10,000 ppm of real tea tree extract, which plays an important role in treating acne breakouts and irritation thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

It also contains niacinamide, which helps strengthen the skin barrier, balances oil production and improves skin texture and hyperpigmentation such as acne scars and dark spots.
