Emma Hardie Gift Guide 2024

One of my absolute favourite brands is Emma Hardie, and again this year they have so many exceptional gift offerings from stocking fillers to an amazing selection of spa-like treatment kits and I have quite the collection to share with you.

Whether you want to Glow on the Go, Hydrate or Nourish, each one of these kits has something for everyone.

Starting with the Emma Hardie Hydrating Balm Kit (£25) which is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to understand why the iconic cleansing balm is so loved.

Inside you will find the Moringa Cleansing Balm, which is often described as being as being a purifying botanical cleansing balm and its job is to removes all traces of face and eye make-up, deeply cleanse the pores whilst at the same time to also be balancing, hydrating and moisturising for all skin types. Full review here.

The second product inside this kit is the Amazing Lip Balm (full review here) and with it's peppermint scent, this Lip Balm is enriched with shea and cocoa butters to reduce dryness, soothe and hydrate your lips.

Then finally there is a Dual Action Professional Cleansing Cloth, has a gentle microfibre side which is used for removal of a product and gentle exfoliation and then on the reverse is an exfoliating muslin side which is used for deep pore cleansing, brightening and toning.  If like me, you are a fan of these cloths, then they can be bought separately!

The second Gift Set in my Emma Hardie Gift Guide is called Glow on the Go Kit (£15) and this is perfect for those who are having a well earned break over the festive season and it is an amazing stocking filler.

Inside this Glow on the Go Kit you will find two products - The Moringa Cleansing Balm and the Pump & Glow Facial Mist.

The Cleansing Balm I have featured above and within this kit, you get a good 15ml pot to try. The Pump & Glow Facial Mist is one of those must-have products. Perfect for use if you have a bit of a hot flush, feel a bit flustered, need an afternoon refresh or even just because you can. It is formulated using hyaluronic acid to aid hydration, cooling watermint and Aloe Vera for soothing and refreshing the skin plus it also contains tiny gold pigments which boost the skin's luminosity. The most important ingredient for me, however, is the use of Glycofilm™ 2% technology which provides a 'second skin' to protect cells from the damaging effects of daily pollution and provides invisible colour correction to balance redness, leaving skin fresh and radiant. 

Then the third and final kit is the Nourish and Glow Kit (£40) and this is the kit every fan of Emma Hardie needs to be finding under their tree!

Inside you will find four incredible products - The Moringa Cleansing Balm with an accompanying Dual Action Cloth which I have already mentioned and alongside them is the Brilliance Facial Oil and the Purifying Pink Clay Detox Mask.

The Brilliance Facial Oil is one of my favourite oils. It is a lightweight oil that is formulated with conditioning plant extracts and essential oils such as apricot, olive oil, almond, grape seed oil, and sunflower oils and they are all rich in omega 3, that promote skin strength, elasticity and a luminous glow.

Then we have the Purifying Pink Clay Detox Mask. Usually my skin reacts to products which feature any form of clay as an ingredient, except this mask. Described as being a deep Cleansing skin, it not only calms redness and inflammation, but also leaves the skin looking clearer, more radiant and more even toned. Packed with amazing ingredients such as Australian Pink Clay and Moringa Seed Oil, you only need to give 15 minutes of your time for this mask to leave the skin looking brighter and more relaxed.

As you can see, I have been really impressed with both of these products and their contents and I think they are such a good way to showcase some of the best that Emma Hardie is known for, whether you have tried products from the brand or not.
