I Asked My 52-Year-Old Mom to Make a Skincare Wish List for Mother's Day—These Are Her Top Picks

As a beauty editor, I have the privilege of testing a lot of different products, and every now and then, they’ll go missing—only to be later found in my mom’s purse or makeup bag. In fact, just the other day, I caught her using my favorite tinted moisturizer, and she quickly played it off like she had no idea where it came from or how she got it. These interactions are honestly super wholesome because I know how much she loves skincare, and it always gives me a good idea of what to get her for Mother’s Day.

Truthfully, I used to struggle to figure out what to get my mom, and I would often find myself making mental notes of gift ideas throughout the year, just to forget them later on. This year, I asked her to make a wish list of her favorite skincare products, and to say she was enthusiastic would be an understatement. Like me, my mom is someone who is more likely to splurge on skincare than makeup, so I knew she’d be selective. Below, check out the 13 products that made the cut.
