Check out these eight finds that your sister, best friend, or daughter will love—and you'll be tempted to keep!

CodeAge Multi Collagen Protein Powder Large

This protein powder is made with five types of collagen and can be added to a glass of water or even a morning coffee for a little dose of self-care. Katherine Brooking, a registered dietician, says, "Collagen is the foundation or 'scaffolding' that helps skin keep its structure and elasticity." Though more research is needed, there are some initial studies showing that collagen can be beneficial for skin health and elasticity.

"It's possible that supplementing with the collagen provided from bovine, chicken, and fish sources in this powder may help improve volume that keeps skin looking plump and keeps lines at bay," says Brooking, though she advises speaking to a healthcare provider before taking any supplement—so be sure to relay that information to whoever is opening this gift.

These Beauty Drops are the perfect addition to a treat-yourself basket for your best friend. The key ingredient in the drops is biotin, a B vitamin that has been linked to skin, hair, and nail health. Rae Wellness recommends adding one dropper a day to your water, coffee, or tea. 

A few small studies have suggested that biotin may improve the appearance of skin, hair, and nails. Brooking says if she was struggling with brittle nails, she would try the drops for a few months.
