Epicuren is well known in the spa world, and a certified celebrity favourite. For a super luxurious moisturizer that isn’t greasy or heavy, pamper mom to the Epicuren Coconut After Bath. This product is super light, moisturizing and smells like a tropical breeze. It’s no surprise it has gotten praise from the likes of Kim Kardashian and Lisa Rinna. If you’re based in Vancouver, this product is also available for purchase at the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa.

Canadian brand Midnight Paloma sells a variety of well-priced beauty tools and products. Their Rose Quartz Gua Sha Facial Sculpting Tool is a well-priced, natural stone tool that works to move lymphatic fluid and flush out toxins. Mom can pair this with any face mask or serum that she likes. Their De-Puffing Ice Roller is another great choice to keep in the freezer for rejuvenating the face or to take while traveling somewhere hot.

If your mom has frizzy hair or prefers to style her hair as little as possible, get her the Slip Silk Turban. This stylish and functional product protects hair from damage while sleeping, but also maintains blowouts and other hair styles for days longer.

The Anti-Aging Program from ZO Skin Health is the perfect Mother’s Day skincare purchase. Featuring five amazing products, this gift is the one-stop-shop for skin purchases if your mom has no idea where to start or needs a routine revamp. Plain Jane Skinbar in Vancouver sells the kit if you were hoping to buy it in-person.

Eye makeup is not easy and can take a lot of time. For moms on the go or one who can’t be bothered, the Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Stick is a lifesaver. With hundreds of five-star reviews online, this iconic product has stood the test of time. It comes in multiple wearable and flattering shades, so picking one for mom should be easy. Just swipe and go!

For a slice of French luxury, indulge mom in Yves Rocher’s Illuminating Cure. The single-use capsules are designed to deliver a potent natural glow quickly, and yummy ingredients like bud nectar reboots cellular activity by quickly stimulating cell renewal. Plus, the single-use capsules are a dupe for ultra-luxury brands who package products in the same way and ensure that no bacteria get into your product.

If your mom is a skincare junkie and has her regime down pat, opt for some luxurious body products from Aesop. The Congruous Gift Kit features the Australian brand’s hand wash, hand balm, body scrub, and body cleanser. Furthermore, opting to buy a kit is a more economical way to indulge mom in the brand’s signature products. They say that once you start using Aesop, it’s nearly impossible to go back to drugstore products!

Whether your mom wears makeup or enjoys a more natural look, the Dior Addict Natural Glow Lip Set is a lovely choice. The famous lip balm and lip gloss come in beautiful packaging and are not coloured, making it a perfect companion to lipstick or ideal to be worn alone.

The perfect accessory to any beauty or skincare routine is a stylish robe. It’s best to choose a fabric that is breathable and light, as polyester blends or fuzzy materials don’t pair well with warmer weather (or hot flashes). Parachute’s Cloud Cotton Robe is reasonably priced, comes in an array of colours and sizes, plus is made of 100 per cent premium Turkish cotton.

For the tech-savvy and skincare obsessed mom, take her regime up a level with CurrentBody’s Skin LED Light Therapy Mask. Many spas and clinics use LED therapy in their treatments, but with this device you can access the benefits every day at home. LED light therapy is clinically proven to kickstart skin’s collagen production, which penetrates deep under the skin’s surface for tangible results.
