Beauty and skincare gifts in Australia

#3

A decent-sized vegan hand balm made in Australia, with a soft macadamia and musk scent. Easy for a teacher or coworker, but it contains nut oils, so avoid it for anyone with a nut allergy.

#4

Three Australian-made hand creams in lemon myrtle, native frangipani and coconut with finger lime. Ready to give to a teacher, mum or host who uses hand cream daily. Scented, and contains almond oil.

#5

A hand and nail cream with vitamins A and E from Australian brand Natio. A classic cheap thank-you for a teacher or coworker that gets used. Contains essential oils.

#6

A small Australian-made hand cream in MOR's sweet marshmallow scent. A handbag treat for someone who likes sweet fragrance, and a good stocking filler. Strongly scented.

#7

A plant-based hand and body lotion with Australian essential oils, in several scent blends you can match to the person. A tidy thank-you for a teacher or host. The scents are noticeable.

#8

A fragrance-free, non-comedogenic daily face sunscreen that sits under makeup. A practical gift for a teen building a simple routine; it is not a swim or sport sunscreen.

#9

A caramel-scented SPF 50+ lip balm, described as suitable for sensitive skin. A useful add-on for someone who spends summer at the beach. It needs reapplying often.

#10

An SPF 50+ lip balm that is water resistant for up to four hours. A summer stocking filler for kids at the beach, teens or anyone who works outdoors. Reapply as the label says.

#11

Lucas' Papaw in a small tube with a lip applicator. A cheap extra for a stocking or a teacher who talks all day. Petroleum-based, sticky and distinctly scented, which not everyone likes.

#12

A whipped coffee scrub that is less messy than the original loose version. A good teen or friend gift, though coffee can still mark a pale shower or bath.

#13

A cherry-scented tinted balm for lips and cheeks with a rosy flush and light gloss. For a teen or friend who wears a little makeup. The shade will not suit everyone.

#14

A light tinted lip oil with a sheer wash of colour and no stickiness. For a friend, partner or teen who prefers a natural look. Too sheer for someone who likes strong colour.

#15

Reusable cleansing puffs for taking off makeup instead of disposable wipes. A small add-on for a friend or teen who washes off makeup every night. They need regular washing.

#16

Micro-dart patches for spots that are still under the skin, which Go-To tags for tween and teen skin. A kind, practical gift for a teen with breakouts. The pack count is not on the page.

#17

A small vegan spot gel with tea tree and salicylic acid, from a line made for teenage skin. A gentle first spot treatment for a teen. Patch-test first, as it can sting or dry.
