Mother's Day is fast approaching, and many of those celebrating would agree: it's an honor to shower the mother figures in your life. After all, who deserves the world more than the special people who have helped shape us? If your mom also happens to be a beauty lover — be it an enthusiast of skin care, fragrance, or otherwise — there's no better gift than the most coveted beauty products on the market.

If you're looking for the best beauty gift for Mother's Day, consider treating them to something pamper-worthy, like a spa gift card or an appointment to their favorite nail salon. When that's not an option, however, why not give them the essentials (all recommended by POPSUGAR editors) so they can recreate that self-care moment at home? Or, should the mother figure in your life appreciate a hair tool or skin-care gadget, level-up their beauty game with the latest and greatest options on the market.

There are also plenty of picks for the multitaskers and busy moms out there, like a sheet mask set from Tony Moly or the exfoliating peel pads from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. For the one that has it all, look no further than the Dyson Hair Dryer, which comes with five unique attachments for all their blowout needs to really change up their hair routine. Of course, that's only the beginning. From skin-care kits to the best beauty gadgets, we rounded up the best Mother's Day beauty gifts they'll truly appreciate. Keep reading for more.
