GRAZIA Gift Guide: The Beauty Products To Shop For Mother’s Day

Infused with skin-identical vitamins and minerals, Rationale’s The HydraCalm Light Crème is a great product for giving the skin a well-deserved shot of hydration. As Southeast Asia suffers from the effects of the recent unrelenting sun, this lightweight cream is powered by a protein complex that soothes the skin and restores the skin’s natural lipid barrier. Plus, this product helps to visibly improve firmness, so achieving a plump complexion has never been easier. 

The HydraCalm Light Crème from Rationale is available from 16 April 2024 onwards as a gift with all purchases over $350.

For that radiant glow, you can buy your mother some luminous blush from Nars. The beauty brand that brought us cult favourites including the shade Orgasm has now reformulated its blushes to last up to 16 hours, so your mom can go the entire day without needing a pesky touch-up. In addition to its high-impact colour payoff, the new blushes from Nars are also great at blurring wrinkles and fine lines on the skin, so it’s a great option to consider for those with a more textured complexion.

The new Nars blushes are available islandwide from 9 May 2024.

When it comes to keeping our skin young, it’s not only about the face. As we age, the skin on our body becomes more prone to wrinkles and is just more sensitive overall to environmental changes.

The lightly scented oil works wonders on the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, so your skin will look smoother than ever.

Augustinus Bader The Geranium Rose Body Oil (100ml, $197) is available exclusively at the Augustinus Bader counter and online at Takashimaya. It will subsequently be available at Sephora (ION, Raffles City, Marina Bay Sands, online) from 30 May 2024.
