Indulge in a Spa Day
At-home pampering — in person or over Zoom
Skip the long Mother’s Day brunch lines and give Mom a relaxing day at home. Gift her favorite natural, organic, and Biodynamic skin care, then spend time together double-masking, detoxing, and de-stressing — whether side by side or over a Zoom call. You can also visit our YouTube channel to try different skin care routines and mixology tips.
To help you spoil Mom, we’ve pulled together luxurious gift ideas for a shared at-home skin care ritual.
Step 1: Cleanse
Colette Lieberman, Senior Product Development Manager at Eminence Organics, recommends the Mangosteen Gel Cleanser. Mangosteen is a superfruit that helps protect skin from drying environmental stressors and supports a natural glow.
Step 2: Tone & Apply Essence
Toning helps skin better absorb and hold the benefits of the products that follow. After toning, use Birch Water Purifying Essence — a very lightweight essence that restores moisture. Birch water helps purify the skin, while botanical collagen boosts the look of elasticity and strengthens the skin barrier.
Step 3: Exfoliate
Exfoliate with the Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant for a brighter-looking complexion. Rice flour helps absorb oil, while lactic and salicylic acids remove dead skin cells. Strawberries and rhubarb add a lovely scent and bring antioxidants to help fight the appearance of wrinkles.
Step 4: Facial Masking
Now for the most relaxing part — masking with the vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Masque. Strawberries gently exfoliate, and rhubarb plus hyaluronic acid hydrate and plump the skin for a refreshed look.
Step 5: Serum
Try the Marine Flower Peptide Serum for rich hydration. A few drops leave skin feeling deeply nourished. Suitable for all skin types, especially aging skin, its Smart Collagen+ Complex helps rejuvenate the complexion while algae extracts improve firmness and provide long-lasting moisture.
Step 6: Moisturize
Seal everything in with Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream, a powerful moisturizer that helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. A blend of arctic plants and berries (cloudberry, arctic roseroot, arctic meadowsweet, and juniper) delivers antioxidant support to improve visible signs of aging.
Step 7: Eye Care
For the delicate eye area, Colette suggests the Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream. This ultra-rich cream has a smooth feel and can be used day or night. Plant peptides and algae extracts hydrate for longer and help reduce the look of wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles.
Step 8: Lip Care
Treat lips to a three-step routine to banish dryness. Start with the Citrus Enzyme Lip Exfoliator (lemon and orange peel) to gently refine, follow with the Lip Comfort Plumping Masque rich in shea butter and avocado oil for deep hydration, and finish with the Citrus Lip Balm — a minty, petroleum-free balm with shea butter and sunflower seed oil to lock in moisture and add shine.
Step 9: Body Oil
For the rest of the body, try Apricot Body Oil. Blended with grape seed and jojoba oils, it leaves skin soft and supple. It also features Biocomplex2™, an antioxidant boost that helps restore radiance.
One customer, Clancey P., wrote in a review: “My mother-in-law brought a bottle of this home from a salon she visited. I use it ALL the time, it’s so hydrating and the smell is absolutely amazing.”
Outdoor Adventures: A Mother’s Day Out Together
Many moms value time together more than gifts. If an at-home spa isn’t her thing, plan an outdoor day with her. Whether she prefers a bike ride, a hike, a swim at the lake, or a relaxed picnic, choose something you can enjoy together. For a picnic, consider turning it into a games afternoon with charades or trivia.
Wherever you go, remember sun protection — like Eminence Organics’ sun care. The Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 protects lips from harmful UV rays with natural zinc oxide, rosehip oil, and organic extra virgin olive oil for hydration.
Product picks
– Apricot Body Oil — Soothing and hydrating massage oil
– Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 — Protects lips from the sun
Indulge in a Luxury Spa Day
If you can meet in person, treat Mom to a memorable gift: a visit to her favorite Eminence Organics spa. A facial or massage makes a wonderful treat for first-timers and regular spa-goers alike. Check our Spa Locator to find a spa near you, and help her get ready by sharing a few spa etiquette tips.
Booking a spa day takes some planning, especially if you don’t live together, but the effort is worth it. In a world full of screens, real face-to-face conversation is rare and meaningful. So put your phone away, share a warm drink, and reconnect. No matter how you spend the day, Mom will appreciate your full attention.
