Self Care Gifts: Treat Yourself with Skincare and Bath Products

Forget chocolates and flowers, give the motherly figure in your life a meaningful gift that keeps on giving this Mother’s Day. 

At LAMAV, we view beauty as a holistic practice—nurturing our inner and outer health in order to feel healthy, happy and most importantly, in balance. Our hope is that we can help you or your loved one to discover the healthiest, happiest version of yourself and deliver a whole body experience that is grounded in intention and ritual. Gifting your mum something that not only improves her skin, but also her quality of life is something that will provide her with long term wellbeing and can be practiced at home every day. 

Here are our top picks to help you gift something meaningful this Mother’s Day.

AYURVEDIC BODY OILS

Body oils are a thoughtful gift as they are something that can be used everyday as a moisturiser, natural perfume and Abhyanga Massage Treatment. Unlike moisturisers, body oils are able to penetrate deeper into the skin, supercharging hydration and delivering a burst of nutrients and nourishment. There’s also something romantic about applying a beautifully rich and fragrant body oil to the skin, it’s a relaxing self-care ritual and an experience that can’t be found when applying an everyday moisturiser.

There are a lot of body oils available on the market, but there’s a few things that set ours apart. Every one of our oils is created following the traditional Ayurvedic method of preparation, incorporating the whole herb in order to ensure that the maximum level of nutrients reach the final product. The carrier oils we have selected are hand-picked to provide the perfect base, so that all the delicate ingredients are protected and their benefits retained.

Our Ayurvedic Body Oils provide immediate hydration and over time will reduce the appearance of scarring, sun damage and improve skin tone and firmness.

Now you know the endless benefits of our Ayurvedic Body Oils, it’s up to you to choose the one best suited to your mum’s personality and skin type. 

UPLIFT

Perfect for when you’re feeling a little dull or sluggish— UPLIFT helps to boost your mood and re energise the body. Containing a fragrant blend of Blue Tansy, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine, this rebalancing body oil will leave you feeling fresh and ready to take on the day.

UNWIND

Feel tension slip away effortlessly by nurturing your body with UNWIND. Formulated to boost relaxation and restore balance to the mind, body and soul—this sensual blend contains calming Lavender, Chamomile and Neroli. 

NOURISH

Clear your mind and enhance focus with this heart-warming and meditative blend of Sandalwood, Marjoram and Cedarwood. Lovingly formulated to help balance emotions and inspire a sense of serenity, NOURISH is the perfect way to restore overall wellbeing.

Can’t decide on one? We don’t blame you, they all smell incredible and feel beautiful on the skin! Why not buy our trio bundle to give your mum the opportunity to find her favourite. If you’re lucky enough, she might share one with you too!

VITAMIN C HAND CREAM

Hand Cream, a non-negotiable handbag essential and a gift that is almost guaranteed to be used and appreciated. You might have gone through many hand creams in the past, but you (and your mum) have never met one like LAMAV’s Vitamin C Hand Cream.

Our vitamin C Hand Cream is no ordinary hand cream and it does more than just moisturise the skin. It’s packed full of skin loving bio-actives to fight against photo-ageing, promote cell renewal and lock in moisture to soften cuticles and leave you with youthful looking skin. It absorbs quickly and smells amazing! 

Like the skin on our face, our hands are constantly exposed to the elements, and they deserve some TLC. Our Vitamin C Hand Cream provides a powerful antioxidant shield, supporting skin repair and hydration for smooth, supple hands. 

Some of the key-bio active ingredients that set this hand cream apart from the rest include:

• CoEnzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant which works to combat the visible signs of ageing whilst preventing and reducing damage caused by oxidative stress.

• Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that provides intense and immediate hydration to lock in moisture, plumping the skin and improving elasticity.

• We’ve also included LAMAV’s Ayurvedic Wellness Blend containing Ashwagandha, Amla and Holy Basil to fight external stressors, inflammation and to assist with firming the skin.
• Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that brightens the skin, protects against external stressors and is essential for collagen production.

• Licorice Root Extract is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant which enhances skin healing and assists to combat dullness and brighten the skin.

GARSHANA DRY BODY BRUSH

If you’re looking for something a little different that encourages daily self care and offers endless benefits to the skin, body and overall well-being then this could be the perfect gift for your mum. The best part? You only need to practice this ritual for a few minutes a day prior to showering to start seeing and feeling the benefits!

Inspired by ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions, incorporating Garshana dry body brushing into your daily self care ritual will benefit your skin, body and overall well-being by improving lymphatic drainage, skin tone, skin texture and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Daily brushing will also help to energise the body, stimulate blood flow, increase circulation and ease stress. Gifting our Garshana Dry Body Brush really is gifting a daily ritual to benefit the whole mind, body and soul. 

If face care is more your mum’s idea of self-care then we have you covered! Choose from one of our award winning beauty tools and give the gift of glowing, plump and smooth skin!

KANSA WAND 

Take your mum’s facial massage to the next level with our Kansa Wand. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic Healing, massaging with our Kansa Wand will promote improved circulation and lymphatic draining to help detoxify stressed, tired skin. Incorporating massage with our Kansa Wand into your daily skincare ritual will also help to boost collagen production, reduce puffiness and is a great excuse to take 5 minutes to unwind and practice some self care.

QUARTZ GUA SHA AND ROLLER SET

A multi-purpose gift that offers endless benefits, this dynamic duo is one that will be appreciated!

The Gua Sha offers a deeper facial massage that should always be used with one of our organic facial oils to ensure the tool easily glides across the skin. It can be used over the whole face and also to target problem areas that may be holding tension after a long day, such as the brow bone, temples and jawline. The Gua Sha will stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce tension leaving you with bright, smooth and relaxed skin.

Our Rose Quartz Roller will gently reduce inflammation and enhance your skin’s ability to absorb and utilise the precious bio-active ingredients in your skincare. This can be used morning or night to de-puff tired eyes and smooth tired, dull skin. 

MICRO DERMAL ROLLER

If age defence is on your mum’s to do list then this little tool will be sure to impress her! Your mum will feel like she’s at her very own day spa with our Micro Dermal Roller. Although this tool is small in size it means business! 540 micro needles help to boost cellular turnover, increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in brighter, smoother and even toned skin. It also enhances the absorption of bio-active ingredients by allowing your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin. A cool gift for mums who are serious about their skincare.
